No those are two totally different things. I said I be that Jay wishes he had Cowan available tomorrow and Sunday. I stand by that statement.

This certainly has its advantages, but I think Boosie’s point is valid too. Johnson expected a high leverage situation and had things mapped out for Cowan to be the guy to handle it. When it turned out not to be high leverage after all, I can see the argument for pivoting to saving Cowan for a high leverage situation. Perhaps Cowan’s preparation was such that he had to come in at that point in the game

100%. Again, I never said that Jay did anything wrong. I think he probably already had Cowan warm, and was hoping he could get out of the inning with 10 or so pitches and save him for later in the weekend. When that inning turned into 25+ pitches he made the decision to finish the game with him. I haven’t bashed Jay or said that we are screwed for the rest of the weekend. I simply said that I wish Cowan could have been used in a more high leverage or useful spot rather than him being burned with a 6 run lead.

Just realized Kade barely used the curveball against a RH heavy line up. FB/CH/SL was enough to dice them up. Really impressive when you realize he was really only FB/CB last year, and the CB is an elite pitch.

Anderson's day was done and Cowan was hot when it was 4-2 after 6. Once the lead grew, you let Cowan go 3 and save the rest of your staff for the next two days.

Glad you’re not making the decisions! You get the win. Period.

8-2 lead anybody but Cowan or Evans to get 9 outs. If the lead diminished then you got Cowan or evans

Or, and here's a thought, maybe let the coach who sees the players every day make the decisions on who gets in. You play to win the game.

No shite you play to win the game. You do know you could still win the game without Cowan or Evans right? It’s not a hard concept to grasp. Well maybe for you it is

it was 4-2 with 3 to go when Cowan came in.

you wanna pull him, and then have to pitch Evans too if the next pitcher gives up 4

How would you have mapped it with Cowan already warm

I know. I'm laughing at your post, not you. It's all good.
For the record, I wasn't serious about the 10.4 runs either. I'll never be pissed at an 8-2 win, especially a road conference win.
