re: Who starts game 1 in hoover for us?

With Labas potentially out and Gilbert on the fritz it really hurts us as far as depth goes. I really hope Labas is good enough for this weekend, but if not we at least need him back for the tournament. I would agree that if we are short on arms that Gilbert would be a good option in Hoover. Even though he's been shaky at best and terrible at worst lately, it is basically his home field, and if I recall he pitched really well in the tournament last year (then again, he was just pitching really well around this time last year period). Also, though I wouldn't start Peterson (since he hasn't been good in that role), I would potentially look at him as being a long reliever instead of just a closer since he has the stamina if needed. Bush, Beck, Fontenot and Sanders are all guys that can start if possible/necessary or potentially give a good handful of innings if/when needed. Vietmeier I don't think has been healthy long enough to get his stamina up to a point where he can pitch more than a few innings. Kodros can be good at times, but is less dependable. We have plenty arms, if they are on their game. Unfortunately that's a big if as we've been really inconsistent this season.
