re: Starting pitcher tonight?

I would Guess Coleman.

hasn’t pitched in the CWS yet.

He hasn’t pitched in a game in over a month. There’s a reason for that. I think a lot of y’all are thinking of him as the same guy who did it against Oregon as a freshman. He’s not the same dude now. He walks too many. He may have the same mental ability, but his stuff and command just hasn’t been nearly the same since coming back from TJ. Which is normal.

He’ll probably make a huge jump next year. But he can only go 3 or 4 innings max. He may be on and shut Wake down for all of those. But I don’t think he’s physically capable of pulling off what he did in ‘21. I’d rather gamble on somebody that could go longer even if it’s a bigger risk.

The bigger risk to me, though, is throwing a bunch of guys. All it takes is just one to be off and give up a few and put a ton of pressure on our offense to score against Wake’s superior pitching. Though I think we’re gonna carry last night’s momentum into today and knock ‘em around pretty good.

It very well may be Coleman. Maybe even likely. But what’s your reasoning? Not arguing against it, just curious on the thinking. Is it simply because he’s left handed and has started some this year? Or because he did it as a freshman in Oregon?

We're gonna have to score 8 to win this game..Whoever srarts...

Exactly what I said last night.

he hasn’t pitched since sec tournament. I think this has more to do with us winning and not his status. He likely would’ve started in the sec if we didn’t get knocked out and he would’ve started in regionals if we didn’t sweep

Let's get a 5 run lead and Little can close out the last 2 innings.

he pitched in the SEC Tournament. Hatcher didn’t pitch in the super, that doesn’t mean he can’t pitch.

We’ve done a very good job conserving arms. it’s not because we are never going to use guys.

coleman has had some good outing he just can’t go too long. almost all his ER come at the end of an outing when he loses control. i only say start him because we seem to like giving him a proper warm up.
