It adds pressure to the game. So here's what I found: Pre-Conference: Less than one full inning: Christo, Perry Less than two: Perry, Bragg, Schanaman Less than three: McCarville Less than four: Olson Less than five: Schanaman, McCarville (x2), Perry Less than six: Perry, McCarville, Frank At least six: Frank, Schanaman (x3), McCarville Less than four: 7 out of 19 (36%) Less than five: 11 out of 19 (57%) Since conference play started (including non-conference opponents since then): Less than one full inning: Less than two: McCarville Less than three: Jelkin, Christo Less than four: McCarville Less than five: Frank, McCarville Less than six: Frank, Schanaman, McCarville, Olson, Brockett At least six: Schanaman (x3), Olson, Frank Less than four: 4 out of 16 (25%) Less than five: 6 out of 16 (37%) Overall: Less than four: 11 out of 35 (31%) Less than five: 17 out of 35 (48%) Actually not as bad as I thought. But nearly a third of the time we go less than four innings which doesn't seem very good. 1 Quote Link to comment

I know we don't have a bulldog arm like Shane Komine, but we really need a friday starter to get you 6 every time. Sometimes 7. Saturday should be your #2 that gets you 5. Sunday can be more of committee approach of 4-5 arms for the game. And I would use my weekday games for the young arms to gain experience. Having said that, if the Fri/Sat starters are throwing too many pitches and not enough strikes, that can become a taxing problem as well. Too many walks will kill you. On the flip side, if you are throwing strikes and give up 5 runs through 3+, you should be a good enough pitcher to stay in and keep working (pitching/battling) to get 5 innings in. The bats have to help you out, and the defense too. Sundays, I'm all for managing less innings and more arms as needed. I am guessing since we aren't doing well at the plate with RISP and 3 run home runs to keep us in games, there's only so much you can do with the pitching staff you have. Quote Link to comment
