re: Report: Holman starting against Kentucky

frick Hagen Smith. We should have beaten him last matchup when we were playing shitty baseball.

maybe Jay is thinking one game ahead, and arkansas could be the opponent on thursday, which may mean facing hagen smith, so this may be our last best shot at a win

i like jay a lot.........i think he is the best man for this program. however, if this is his line of thinking................................we have a problem.

Only thing i can think, now that im thinking about it more, is maybe Jay is thinking one game ahead, and arkansas could be the opponent on thursday, which may mean facing hagen smith, so this may be our last best shot at a win

That makes sense. Maybe another piece is that both Jump and Holman will now be on extra rest in Games 1 and 2 in the regional. May be more likely to go a little deeper. If we can win 1 of those games like yesterday with just 2 pitchers and another using maybe 3, it should leave us with a really strong pen for Game 3.

Because our best chance to win a regional is obviously to go 3-0. I'm not sure we can lose a game and have to win the 5th game to go 4-1. It'd be great get 14 innings out of Jump and Holman, but we probably have to get 13. And maybe a couple days extra rest could help them do that.

I don't expect to see Holman to go 105 pitches and 7 innings today. He threw more pitches than Jump last week and today is not the must-win that yesterday was. I don't think they push him as hard today as they did Jump. Because they don't have to.
