Can't bring him in unless you have the lead. But yes, evans comes in late with a lead.

Seems obvious. If you use him and still lose you're fricked


Well we could not use him, blow the lead, and still lose tomorrow with him pitching though. It's a no brainer, just like it was a no brainer to leave the game in Cowan's hands last night.

Nobody said we will try to lose. This would be a big series to win though, and pitching Evans to seal the deal is the definition of putting your foot in their throat.

If we get up by 2 or more runs and Eyanson has a vintage performance deep into the game. Do we use Evans today to get this win? I think we should especially considering Arkys top 2 bp arms are burned for today, but coukd certainly come back on Sunday.


I don’t think you would see Evans before the 7th, maybe the 6th. If Eyanson fades early (his typical SEC outing goes until the 6th), we still may see a couple of guys in to piece it together to get to Evans. Against Arkansas’ bats, this may be necessary.

I think you use him if you have a lead (unless it’s overwhelming) or tied game when Eyanson comes out. If we can secure the series tonight, it’s worth it even if it means we get run ruled tomorrow with Johnny Wholestaff.

To me the real question is how you handle it if you’re down say 1 run in the 6th-7th.

Amazing to see a thread where everyone agrees! Winning the series tonight is all that matters, tomorrow would be gravy. Would certainly be the right decision to put in Evans with a lead!

Hopefully, we’ll be up more by a lot and won’t need him tonight.
