He's too important to not save for Sundays. We have to win every series from here on out. Wasting him to throw the final 2 innings of a Friday night game, when he could give you 6 innings in a Sunday game is dumb imo.

We literally just saved him for Sunday and it’s the only series that we have won…

Not if we are in a situation where we are up by 1 or 2 on a friday. Im sure if he only throws an inning or two on friday, he’ll be available once more that weekend. Problem is, we have had to go to him too early in every series, so he ends ip throwing 50-60 pitches anyway. Which again, basically makes him a tandem starter. Its incredibly valuable on the backend.
If it was guaranteed he could start and give us 6 innings of 1 run ball, maybe, but no guarantee he is successful as a starter

We did not save him for Sunday. Had LSU taken the lead in the 8th or 9th inning on Saturday, who do you think would have come in the game?

I don’t know what team you’ve been watching but this one will likely NEED Herring in order to win fri or Sat.

Obviously, you try and save Herring. If you are up 3 or down a couple, or if it’s too early in the game, then going to the freshman makes sense.

But if it’s a 1 run game, it’s Herring and it should be Herring.
