re: USM saved their ace for the 1-0 game but lost game one

We didn't start our ace in 2025

Starting Anthony Eyanson vs Kade Anderson is not the same as Austin Ross vs Ranaudo/Coleman.

Also, what happens if the #2 (not Anthony Eyanson) can only go 4 or gets in trouble? Then you have to go to your bullpen a day earlier. Then your #1 is pitching on less rest the next weekend. It compounds and snowballs.

Just look at the trouble the 4 seeds gave the 1 seeds today. I don't know what else to tell you. More 4 seeds won the opening game last year than any time in the last 15 years.

two 4 seeds have already won today.

UF and Kansas struggled. UCLA is in a dog fight. A&M is trailing in the 5th.
