Can we just take a moment and realize/appreciate the contribution that Gavin Guidry has provided to this staff?

With that being said, I really like him in those high leverage or 9th inning save role. He’s got that dog in him and feeds off of the pressure.

If that opportunity doesn’t presents itself in games 1 or 2, I’m ok with him starting then bringing in Hurd and potentially have a complete game with just those two like you have in Skenes/Herring in game 1.

I’d prefer Hurd assume that Sunday starter role again. If we’re going to go all the way we will need Guidry in high leverage situations at some point and that somewhat ruins the starter role for him.

Guidry is such a good baseball player all around. Watching him pitch you almost forget he’s an outstanding shortstop prospect as well

Best case scenario is obviously for Thatcher Hurd to continue on the path he’s been the last few outings. If he can put it together you’ve got 2 legit number 1 caliber aces in your rotation

I'm with you Tifway419 I'll take my chances in big moments with a guy in Guidry who is of strong mind. Yes he is green, but he pitches like someone stole his food. My hope is that his barbarian competitiveness is infectious. We have some guys on our pitching staff whose body language shows too much of the opposite.
