re: If Jay is preaching four days of rest do we see Jump and Holman again this tournament?

He's going to throw long toss and 50 pitches on that day regardless, and 25 of those 50 are going to be game like pitches. I do'nt see the big deal if he comes in and pitches 30-40 pitches, if needed, and Holman starts on Friday for the Regional. Jump would have 5 full days of rest, or 6 depending on regional schedule after throwing basically a bullpen. Why is that such a big deal?

It’s not. Some people can’t wrap their heads around this concept. A start doesn’t mean he’s throwing 90-110 pitches. The rest of the staff needs work and it may be favorable to let Jump and/or Holman get their pitches in during a game rather than a bullpen session.

Couldn’t ask for a better scenario to be in right now. Zero pressure.
