I don’t know what you are looking at. In Guidry, I see a role player. In Hurd I see a potential dominant starter. I would start stretching out Hurd. He would be my guy if Floyd falters in the early innings or to start game 3. Guidry would be my fireman if Floyd falters or if Herring falters in relief of Skenes. If we get to game 3 without needing Guidry I would let him eat some innings.

ETA: Just read el’s comment, and I agree 100%.

Guidry should not start. He is not similar to Hurd.

What I am looking at is what has been shown on the field, not based off potential. We all know Hurd has more potential as a starter than Guidry and I never said anything different. Hurd has also shown that he can walk 4 people in a row and sometimes can't get it together. My comment was based on what happens on Friday/Saturday. If Hurd is used late in the game Saturday and throws 45 pitches, he isn't coming back on Sunday. I can see starting Guidry on Sunday to try and start the game off with minimal damage even if it is just 3 innings to let the offense try to get a lead instead of playing from behind all game.

If neither of them are used come Sunday, I think Hurd being the starter will be a no brainer. I think yall took my comment a little different than what it was meant for.

Sundays pitching will completely depend on who is used the first 2 games. I can see Money getting the start Sunday also if both Hurd and Guidry are used or if Jay and Wes decide they rather have Hurd and Guidry both on the back end.

I'd like Hurd to get back to the starter role and show he can take it. That would be the most beneficial for this team going forward.
