Why not let Herring start from here on out?

- Dude has been lights out
- Has proven to be able to go deep in the pitch count
- Has that dog in him!

Let that man cook on Sunday afternoons!

He's the first guy that goes out with a lead (or close game).

He's too important to save for Sunday.

A lot of posters shite on him early in the year, but he’s a gamer.

I agree
Had Missouri scored a few more runs early you end up waiting until Sunday to use one of your more effective pitchers and wasting his performance

He's been one of the consistent bright spots in the role he's currently in. No reason to upset the applecart. He's effectively a starter anyway. He's throwing a starter's workload each weekend. He just happens to be doing it when the leverage is ratcheted up.

After two serviceable starts from Ackenhausen on Sundays, we can keep going to him there. We have 4 guys that can combine to get us roughly 22 innings a weekend.

I think he’s too valuable out of the pen.

Does it matter if he throws innings 1-5 vs innings 4-9?

Because he is our ONLY reliable bull pen arm. If he starts, who come out to finish his game for us? Pitchers are creatures of habit. Starting a game could mess with his routine. Starting him on Sundays is idiotic to me.

He is too valuable to use as we are now. To secure a win that should be in hand.

I am not sure we have any one or any combination that would hold a three or four run lead for four innings

It’s past time to call him up for a starter roll. You leave him in the pen to call in, you’re trying to piece together wins with an already shotty record. He may be the answer. Hole man needs to find that gear he had early on. Mizzou was a terrible hitting team coming in.

What would that accomplish? He pitched five innings this weekend, and they were gigantic. If we had not put him in we probably lose that game. If we had started him that game he probably would have gone five innings - Big Deal!

Herring is better used as a reliever. In this way he has a chance to save two games per week instead of just affect one as a starter.

Approve! He has that intangible air of confidence in his mannerisms
