[QUOTE="TCUdirtbag, post: 2418531, member: 61297"] You keep talking about Traver's last 2 starts. I don't disagree that he was very good in both. But they were against Central Connecticut State and Texas. Virginia, DBU, and Missouri State are significantly better hitting teams. Janczak and Howard are significantly ahead of Traver. And I don't even know where to start on the ridiculous Lodolo comment. Kid has good stuff but he's young. Where he was drafted last year doesn't make him a better pitcher. Hell, Janczak didn't pitch as a freshman - he was redshirted. Now he's our ace. You set up your rotation planning to win 5 in a row and have a backup plan. It's not terribly complicated when your clear top 2 are both righties. Ace in game 1 (Janczak), #2 in game 2 (Howard), #3 in a national semifinal (Traver or Lodolo), and have your top 2 ready to roll out on full rest in the finals in games 1 and 2. If you lose game 1, you stick with your #2 in game 2 because it's a must win if you win game 1, but win game 2 and wind up having to play a second national semifinal, you probably go back to your ace on full rest to try and get into the finals. Do what you can and try and get the ace back for a finals game 3 if you can. I can't imagine a scenario where Lodolo or Traver start game 1 or 2. I've been wrong before, but this seems incredibly predictable [/QUOTE]
