re: Actual pitchers available today vs Vandy

This is what I don’t get with some of y’all. You can’t go off innings pitched when it comes to fatigue. It’s the amount of pitches. This is me not looking at stats.... I think Hess threw 50-60 pitches Wednesday. And Hilliard 70-80. Thursday morning.

Exactly. Hess, Fontenot, Beck and Hilliard all threw a lot of pitches. I don't even want to throw Fontenot till Sunday, if we somehow get there, even though his
appearance was on Tuesday. I say let Ripoll, Threadgill and Gunter try to go 3 innings each, and hope they are at least moderately decent, and that our bats show up like they did tonight. Let the chips fall where they may. If we win, we have just about everyone available to piece it together on Sunday, without having to extend any of them, and they wouldn't be going on short rest.

No reason to treat tomorrow like a desperation game. Try to win, within reason.
