I hope not. I think a sweep this weekend solidifies our hosting. What we do in the SEC tournament might be of no significance if we can sweep this weekend.Makes ya wonder if Pico is held to throw next Tuesday...
Weāre not looking beyond this weekend in terms of pitchers until after Saturdayās game. And I assume we throw Khal in the first game in Hoover.Makes ya wonder if Pico is held to throw next Tuesday...
That would go against Lemonisās style majorly. I donāt think thereās any way in heck Khal starts in Hoover. My assumption is Dohm.Weāre not looking beyond this weekend in terms of pitchers until after Saturdayās game. And I assume we throw Khal in the first game in Hoover.
I donāt know Dohmās status. My point is more that we arenāt holding anyone for our first game in Hoover. Itās win or go home. We donāt need to win the tournament, but it would help our metrics to buy games 33 and 34 against SEC opponents.That would go against Lemonisās style majorly.

TBA this weekend is probably depending on if he needs Auger or Pico before Saturday.
I think Tuesday will be all hands on deck in terms of bullpen arms. But no, I donāt see Stephen being available. Maybe Iām wrong. But the only time Lemonis has ever done something on short rest like that was with Harding and Bednar in the national championship.I donāt know Dohmās status.

I agree with your second point.
Khal will have four full days of rest in between Thursday and Tuesday. So unless he throws a crazy amount of pitches Thursday I would think he would be available Tuesday. I could be wrong.I think Tuesday will be all hands on deck in terms of bullpen arms. But no, I donāt see Stephen being available. Maybe Iām wrong.

No reason Khal shouldnāt start Tuesday unless he just throws an insane number of pitches on Thursday. We have to play to win every game we can if we want to host. It will be close. If we lose Sunday, Tuesday will be a must win game. Need to go with Pico Sunday.Khal will have four full days of rest in between Thursday and Tuesday. So unless he throws a crazy amount of pitches Thursday I would think he would be available Tuesday. I could be wrong.
I think at best theyād consider throwing him a couple of innings out of the bullpen. I just donāt see Lemonis going all in for Tuesday in Hoover no matter what happens. He strikes me as the kind of coach that would rather risk having to play on the road than risk possibly burning out his Friday guy for the postseason. He is probably the most conservative coach weāve ever had in terms of pitcher usage.Khal will have four full days of rest in between Thursday and Tuesday. So unless he throws a crazy amount of pitches Thursday I would think he would be available Tuesday. I could be wrong.
He only threw 20 or so pitches over 2 innings this Tuesday. He should be more than ready to go Sunday.Makes ya wonder if Pico is held to throw next Tuesday...
We are either beating this guy 12-1 or heās throwing six shutout innings against us. Usually how it goes.First career start for Jacobi on Thursday. TBD will pitch on Friday and again on Saturday (short rest).

It would be very on brand for us to give Arkansasā starting rotation hell and then struggle with randoās from Mizzou not even a week later.Longest outing this year is 3 innings.
I hope to hell he doesn't go 6.
Knowing our luck, we will get RAT 1 and RAT 2.We are either beating this guy 12-1 or heās throwing six shutout innings against us. Usually how it goes.
