Hate to rag on a guy when he's struggling, but Hurd has had his chance and simply not performed.

Hurd on the season: 6.55 ERA; 0.312 BAA; 29H and 10BB in 22 IP (1.77 WHIP).

The obvious choices are Coleman or Anderson. I lean towards it being Anderson, but I don't think you can go wrong with either.

I dont think the starting lineups change at all this weekend. Not big enough sample size.

I don't see how you can't give Coleman or Anderson a sunday start next weekend

I'm guessing Coleman is starting against LA Tech, only reason not to use him this weekend

Let Hurd figure it out from bullpen

Hurd has started 5 games. What is the appropriate sample size to make a judgement?

I like Hurd but i am fine letting him figure it out I. the pen.

not that really any LSU pitcher looked good this weekend. Holeman got rocked and run jump got rocked and run

Anderson got rocked and run

Going forward as in next week? I’d say Hurd

They know he is a tweak or two away from putting it together. You can’t do that on the bench

Well, including the 12 appearances last year as well where he posted like a 6 ERA, that's enough. Thats who he is.

Can he do it from the bullpen or on a Tuesday night though?

Man, i feel like Anderson ultimately takes that job, just not sure if its this week or not. Hurd’s Siera is 3.14, not bad. Lotta bad luck around him, but its hard to ignore what our eyes tell us. He is so up and down

Little. Maybe he's better as a starter instead of in relief

Bad luck? He gets hit harder than anybody on the team. He rarely has his swing and miss stuff. Anderson needs to start on Sundays.

Hurd can move to midweek. He can figure it out there.

Honestly, I think Little's offspeed stuff has looked solid lately. It's the fastball that's been getting him rocked.

Kind of disappointed that Cam Johnson hasn't put it together yet. Was hoping pre-season that he could be a mid-week starter or Sunday guy. Control just isn't there.

not necessarily a sunday starter, but i'd like to see johnson get some more run. clearly this year isn't about winning a title. let the young guys get a chance to grow and learn

Wonder why Coleman didn’t pitch this weekend

Is it Coleman or Anderson that was quoted earlier in the year that he prefers to start vs coming out of the bullpen due to the longer warm-up?

In a weekend where relievers were thrust into tough spots, that was probably the toughest spot of any pitcher.

He has 29 strikeouts in 22 innings, the numbers disagree

Was put in one of the highest leverage spots you can be put into and against a top 10 hitter in the league. The result was expected IMO
