Why not show confidence in your players and your rotation regardless of what other teams do? Put it on Godfrey to show he can control his emotion as well as his pitches.

Put on our hitters to show they can hit elite pitching. Why not see what they can do?

why not throw our best against him on a weekend like this on his normal day?
1) It's the last day of the series. You have two wins that are more important than it.
2) Again, I don't like trying to change our staff for matchups. Let the other coaches do that. We want to win game 1, then game 2, then game 3. Let's start there.
And you call this a weird weekend... we have 5 of these. It's not weird and we better get used to it. We can't keep flipping guys around because almost every away game will be like this.

i think i'm with Ell on this. switching the rotation around because of one guy on the other team sounds like playing scared.

Every win is equally important on the weekends. Doesn't matter how you get to 3-0 or 2-1.

It's weird in the sense we haven't had to do this and because our opponent is rehabbing their best guy they are throwing him on the "last" day...we need to adapt in this scenario. It's not like every team we face will throw their ace on the 3rd day, just so happens to be the case this weekend, so we should adapt and give ourselves the best chance to win all 3 games, not just the first 2. Throwing Godfrey against who might be the best pitcher we face all season isn't conceding the game by any means, but it's certainly not our best matchup.

also seems to send a message to your hitters that you don't think they can get the job done.

The truth is, the most important game is the first 1. It saves your bullpen if your starter can go deep. Without winning it, you can't sweep. Then game two is the next important. Then the next.

Because we're not pitching Godfrey on just 3 days, I think any starter on this level should get that 4 day minimum rest cycle. Plus, Zach Jackson typically is just a reliever for Arky, so that's a good matchup for Godfrey.

I'm perfectly ok with the rotation for this weekend. Shorter week, just roll with what we got. It's not like Godfrey has no chance to win, and it is not like Killian is untouchable.

I don't want us trying to make every game close!

Yeah Jackson's career long outing is 4 innings. Gotta jump on him too.

Completely agree.

Sat game time in the heading is wrong.

4 days is plenty

4 is pushing it... it's definitely not plenty. Do you know what a pitcher goes through during the week between starts? It's basically mini-rehab. Mess with the schedule and the results will suffer. Can an arm handle it? That's a little subjective. Everyone is different. Some probably could, but you are definitely taking an unnecessary risk.

Yeah unless it's post season or they are on the cusp of not making post season I wouldn't risk it.

Agreed. High school pitchers are only used to throwing 60-70 innings a year anyway.

Every document I have is wrong haha they must have changed it. thanks
Posted on 3/19/15 at 9:56 am to TigerNlc
Keep the rotation the same and roll with it....frick what Arkansas does.
Posted on 3/19/15 at 10:04 am to ell_13
Yeah, I really don't see the need to change it up. It isn't like Godfrey is terrible or the other guy is unhittable.
