This is one thing that frustrates me about Johnson. Having a plan to pitch Schmidt 5-6 innings then bring in Cowan makes sense, but if you can get through this game now without a high leverage situation developing, why not pivot and try to save Cowan for tomorrow?

Wasn’t my opinion. That’s just my prediction of who starts. Although if you go that route we may as well not even play cause every person left to pick has had their fair share of bumps lol.

Because he's not taking a chance with the lead. Have you not been paying attention to this team recently? You don't try to steal anything with the way things have gone lately. Do whatever you can to get the win today and worry about tomorrow when we get there.

Hindsight is 20/20. It looks different that Cowan shut them down. But what if he brings someone else in and they give up a hit and it’s now 5-2? You’re prob bringing all the guns out now unless our offense pulls away. Which now looks like they might.

Cowan was probably the best option to start tomorrow

What's your point? It's only the 6th inning.

That's also why I asked

Thinking a 5-0 lead is safe in the top of the 6th inning is kind of crazy, especially in college baseball.

I wasn’t suggesting that he hold back Cowan no matter what, only suggesting waiting for a high leverage situation and hope one doesn’t materialize. They have a better chance of finding 4 innings today from other pitchers up 5 runs than they do finding 9 innings tomorrow starting at 0-0.

Then you bring in Cowan at that point. I wasn’t suggesting never going to Cowan, only waiting until a higher leverage situation and hoping it never gets to that point. They have to cobble together 13 more innings from this staff. If they can’t count on the other guys to hold a 5 run lead that doesn’t bode well for tomorrow. It’s sad if he’s to the point he thinks he has to salvage one win instead of trying to maximize the likelihood of taking the series.
