A few questions heading into tomorrow....

[CadaverDawg]

Who all do we have available to pitch tomorrow?
Graveman
Pollo
Holder
Bracewell?
Any others?

Why is Bracewell not given more opportunity to pitch? He seems pretty effective when he's in the game, but Butch never leaves him in more than a few hitters it seems. Is this a not wanting to hurt him issue, or a doghouse issue? Or neither? Maybe he just isn't as good of a pitcher as I seem to think.

How bad is the Rea injury? Tomorrow is game 19 on the season, and he is knocking on the door of missing half the season. Is there a lot of precaution in the decision not to play him, or is this something that could linger into SEC play. We need his *** in the lineup.

None of these seem to be major issues, but I am interested to see what/if any answers are out there.

Yeah, I'm curious about Rea as well and there is no doubt that Bracewell

was the best pitcher we marched out to the mound today........I don't understand why he doesn't get more use..

You have to think those 3 are first. But hardly any of our guys except Ross Mitchell have thrown very much.

Beats the hell out of me, but there again, we haven't really needed him in a tight game yet. Well, except today.

I think Detz exploding onto the scene has slowed down the urgency to get Rea back in the lineup. All the folks clamoring for Detz to play 2B can stop, Cohen will not do it. As for now, we've got enough talent on the field to not have to rush Rea.

I agree, it looks like we will actually have a problem when Rea is healthy....because Detz appears to be locked in at either 1B or possibly 3B (mentioned by Cohen). So does that mean we will not have Norris, Rea, and Detz all in the lineup at the same time unless one is DH'ing? If so, I don't like that. We have an obvious issue with the bat at 2B....Pirtle can't hit for ****, neither can Hann. So your two options are Britton and Frost. I would like to see them in a rotation to see if one can separate themselves (I think Britton will separate himself if given the chance).....and leave Pirtle on the pine. He has a good glove, but he blows at the plate (unless we're playing Valley).

My best guess

Kendall
Polo
Holder
Bracwell
Preston Brown
Norris
Fitts

Maybe a few others

I think the only for sure guys that are out gentry, cox, E Mitchell, I would say Ross Mitchell but they say he has a rubber arm, no clue if girodo can throw 3 games in a row because he has not throw that many pitches.

I think we hope graveman can go 6 or 7. Polo then to holder
