I'll start with the guys who should absolutely not pitch tonight:
Evans, Moore, Schmidt, Plog, Guidry, Sheerin

At this point, we're beyond trying to get anyone starter type innings in a midweek game (at least until more relievers start to find their way). They're now better used to find the hot hand and have fringe bullpen guys sharpen up/develop for weekend spots.

I would give an inning to all of the following (in no particular order):
Noot
Rizy
Ricken
Paz
Garcia
Lachenmayer
Williams
Benge
Fontenot

Noot needs to build up some confidence

You forgot Primeaux

ETA
Would like to see more of Benge

I'm different than most in that I wouldn't mind throwing Primeaux in an SEC game regardless of if he throws tonight.

I will say, if they get late in the game and Jay chops up innings to get guys one or two outs at a time, Primeaux and Theophilus could use a little mound time too.

I'd give the start to either he, Ricken or Paz. Let the freshmen work early to build on their experience. We will benefit from it for next year.

I don't think it matters at this point

Give it to Williams, he is probably the best lefty we have with upside. He just needs to be able to work through the tough spots and throw strikes. Give him the experience.

Then follow with Paz, Ricken, Noot, Rizy

Arguing against the concept of a sports message board on a sports message board is a weird stance, but okay.

Noot and Williams need to try to get right. I would try to get both some innings.

I think later in the season, this should be a focus. Unless one of them carves out a weekend role.

Theophilus seems like a guy who could carve out a weekend role as a change of pace reliever.

I'd love to get Paz every mid week start and keep trying to extend him a little each time, but with so many guys still needing work it's tough to do that.

I’d like to see Theopilus & Cowan & Fontenot again

You have to keep working Rizy & Williams but their ropes have to shorten at some point if they can’t get right

I honestly forgot about him. But yeah, he should probably get an inning to see if it's starting to come back to him.

Whoever starts needs to post a zero. We can't play from behind again.

According to Jay last night, the 3 hour practice before tonight's game will be the real highlight

Cowan scares me with the P5 teams. But yet again as of right now all of our pitchers besides the Evans, Moore and Schmidt scare me against these P5 teams.

This probably factors more than anything else.

It would also be nice if our first 3 outs weren't hit over 100+ right at somebody.
