Pitching Rotation

Even though apparently Anderson and Childress have decided to go with the rotation as is (Joba, Dorn, Zach) would it not be advantageous to NU to throw Zach in the opening game and push Joba back a couple of days?? Even though Joba was awesome last week, he had not been as dominant in the past, oh about 6 starts. He was pretty inconsistent, and some think that it was due to the fact that his arm is a little tired as he is not used to pitching this much. A couple of extra days rest could help him out tremendously, and Zach is fully rested as he won’t have pitched in 2 weeks going into the CWS. Also, ASUs strength is its left handed bats, and they have fared worse against lefties than righties, according to scouting reports that I have heard.

What should they do, switch up, play the percentages and go with the rest of Zach and Joba, or do things as they have been done all year??

I'm feelin' ya former, but you can't coach or teach guts and a will to win. I saw the entire Miami game live, in front of my face, and I haven't seen a dominant pitching performance like that in .....I don't even know when. The guy thinks he's going to win every game. He respects his oponent, but wouldn't think twice about pissin down your throat. That's the kind of guy I want pitching for me.

The first victory is very important, plus he will be ready early when the Huskers get farther in the tournament.

Joba's gonna get the start, remember if he can't get it done we have Duensing and even Kroneke in the pen.

 
Methinks he'll get it done...

I certainly hope so. There is no doubt in my mind that Joba is capable of another performance such as last Friday's :thumbs , its just with his recent inconsistency, I wonder if he has enough left in the tank.

Like you said, they have Zach, Brian, and even Dusty in the pen, ready and rested. I guess we will soon find out :cheers
