re: Any lingering concerns for pitchers?

But do we maybe try to counter the UT pitching? If Hilliard is our 2nd best option, do we start him vs UT’s #3 guy for Game3 If it gets to that point? Basically, do we throw Hilliard vs UT ace? Or UT #3.

I think we definitely should not start Marceaux game 1, and as far as any other match ups go, there really isn't a logical argument, that I can think of, as to why anyone would want to save one of their top two guys for game three. I understand the sentiment of what you're saying, but it sends a bad message to your team, in my opinion, that you're playing for a game three, when you could just win it in two.

If we were talking about this past weekend and saving your better pitchers for the better teams, I think that is a good strategy. But this is a different situation.
