re: Skenes vs Holman (UPDATED through 6 games)

Holman’s margin for error is much smaller & SEC play will open that up a bit

No doubt, and I said the same thing in another thread. The biggest difference between him and Skenes is that Skenes was still pumping 99 in the 8th after 100 pitches. Holman won’t be able to go through a good SEC lineup for the 3rd time once his pitch count gets up and he’s sitting 90/91 instead of 93/94. But that’s ok. Our bullpen should be deeper and he shouldn’t have to. He’s still gonna shove against most lineups for 6+. (I do fear he’s gonna have some bad luck NDs going against other Friday night guys. Our offense is gonna get shut down occasionally.)

But I still think Holman could be SECPOTY. He’s fricking awesome. But he’s not Skenes, and threads like this are really unfair to him.
