Illinois wins 3-2

not sure if that helps or hurts us. It definitely hurts Indiana temporarily and they likely threw their day 4 starter so I'd imagine the hoosier rotation this weekend will be their friday starter vs ours. Saturday, their 2 vs our 3 (unless we throw our 3 against OSU's 1). So.. my question now for everyone is:

Would you throw your 2 against OSU in the morning game? (OSU throwing their 1)

or

Would you save your 2 for the evening game against Indiana?

Personally, I'm throwing my 3 against Ohio State and my 2 against Indiana.. Opinions please :)

edit:

another thought would be to throw your 3 on friday to setup the 1 & 2 on saturday. Hmm.... decisions decisions

Not sure how the team that is in second place losing somehow hurts us

All 3 of Indiana's starters are good 

 
It likely creates more focus and urgency.. that's my point of "helps or hurts". Mostly, like the message as a whole, it was in context of my random thoughts.

That's tough because Shay has struggled against both team so far this year. He really gutted out 5 innings to save the pen after an awful beginning to his start against IU.

Both Shay and Chance have been up and down this year. But if it's me I'm probably letting Chance have a crack at IU for the first time and seeing if Shay can have a better outing against tOSU the second go around. 

 
He also has Michigan sweeping Maryland which I don't see happening. I think he's right at 2-2 but I think Maryland wins 1. Speaking of Maryland, they're hating on us right now. They hold destiny in their hands with Michigan and Indiana but not against us.
