False. He could have gone Sunday. Again, his issue was with back to back days. I believe he has thrown Wednesday (might have been a Tuesday) and Friday this year.

ETA: He has 10 saves. Not all of them came on weekends.



He's also closed on back to back nights. The issue is whether or not he's been as effective.

I'm pretty confident in saying that if we see him in a 2 inning save situation on Friday...the coaches are going to be less than confident in him on a Sunday. That doesn't mean he wouldn't pitch depending on the situation. It just means that when they make that decision on Friday...they do it knowing it could effect Sunday and will definitely affect Saturday.

And, that was my point. Maineri wasn't willing to commit Stallings to 2+ innings in the 7th. But he was willing to make that decision in a tie game from the 9th on.

The two times he did it was when he was shaky. Houston and Ole Miss.

Of course they were aware. It's still a dumbass decision.

That's really two completely different situations. There a procedure for regulation. A script. They didn't follow it when they brought him in late. I don't think it was ever a plan for him to go deep. It was a mistake from the start.

Friday wasn't a save situation though.
