He had a .217 BA against in SEC play which was also 3rd behind Skenes and Coleman.
So yeah, maybe dominant was the wrong word. But statistically, he was the 3rd best pitcher on that team in SEC play.

nah, Cowan and Evans should be pitching friday or saturday if we aren’t run ruling people.
winning 2/3 in the SEC has you hosting.

They will run out the same rotation for the next few weeks to allow them to improve like a lot of players do.
Same with the bullpen. As you establish who you can trust, everything with tie in better overall.

That's fine, it's a small sample size. But you can't sit here and say that he was bad in that small sample size. He simply wasn't. That's also not really true. There were 9 additional players that had less than 12 IP in SEC play.

Very true. But you stated that he was getting hit around and teams were figuring him out. That is statistically false. He had a better BA against in SEC play than he did in non conference play.

he was really starting to come on when he got hurt
I think he fired off strike 3 out 3 of his second inning vs Tennessee when he came off and said he hurt his elbow

Until Guidry comes back I think you will see the rotation stay like it is. Eyanson his pitched good enough to stay, Shores has to pitch better and it’s all about location with him. I’m not excited about taking Cowan and Evans out the bullpen and put in the rotation. Schmidt needs to go back to starting mid week games till he can find himself

Yeah I feel like coming out the bullpen, being a high leverage guy, inheriting multiple running
you gotta be a very certain type of pitcher
and idk if Schmidt is that guy.
IGoing forward I would like to see Sunday be a TBD spot.
if we don’t need Cowan Friday or Saturday because the bats are alive, let him go, but i’d like to see Schmidt and Shores split some
time there. See how Schmidt does with an inning to setttle in.

I haven't said one time he was bad but he damn sure wasn't dominant and didn't have some spectacular freshman season like i see posted on here all the time. He was good for a freshman i guess you could say.

3 of the 4 ER he had on the year were in his last three SEC games. With only 2 pitches you think SEC teams weren't going to figure him out ? Didn't take long this year to do it, idk why 2023 would have been any different. If you extrapolate his SEC innings he would have been trending downwards. He's arguably the same pitcher he was when he got hurt but with more innings for opposing hitters to study from

A 1.96 overall ERA and a 3.86 SEC ERA is good for anybody and very good for a freshman.

Maybe because he’s spent that past two years recovering from Tommy John?

Which statistically is totally acceptable for a Sunday starter.

It’s not a great feeling to see a bunch of highly touted arms get knocked around early into SEC play, but we should probably keep in mind that guys like Shores and Schmidt are not likely to be stagnant. They are both relatively inexperienced and can be expected to struggle at times, but both have legit top level potential.
If they see improvement like some of the pitchers we’ve seen in previous years (especially Jump and Herring last year - both started slow), then they can have a major impact. There just might be a few more ‘meh’ outings in the process.

As much as I hate to admit it, the time has likely arrived to take Shores out of the rotation.
It is a challenge when returning from TJ surgery. I still think he can be a very good pitcher.
Living so close to his hometown, I have been rooting for him ever since his high school days.

You don’t know why someone coming off Tommy John would be different than before? Tell us you don’t know anything about the surgery without telling us lol.

I’m hopeful the rotation is solidified once Guidry is back.
Is he even still on the team?
