Just need a John Harden to pitch every game. Polk dropped his name a few weeks back and said “you old timers will remember that name” or something like that. I was excited and depressed at the same time realizing I’ve achieved old timer status.
Nobody cares about it except a bubble team or two every year that need some wins (see Univ of Northern MS 2022). It's like a crappy bowl game win, meaningless otherwise
This (SEC rule) says the 27 must be declared for the series and can't be changed. Also says the visiting team can't travel with more than 27 so it's odd that they loaded up the bus with more. Probably explains why we watched him warmup and didn't say anything - unless that rule is overlooked often.
You have 27 players for the weekend. If someone gets hurt, you have 26 available the rest of the weekend.
My question is, why isn't he on the 27-man roster? His stats indicate he is one of their relied-upon pitchers.
And why is there no penalty for playing an ineligible player? It really should have been a forfeit when he entered the game.
Its common for a team to travel with more than 27. They just dont "dress" for the game. They are in a pullover or whatever else you want to call it.
