Anyout out of the combo of: Bourgeois Matulis Rittiner Maybe all of them trying to get 2-3 quality innings a piece out of each.
Stats for each against Bama this year: Rittiner: 0-0, 1 save, 3 innings, 1 ER Matulis: 0-0, 6.2 innings, 3 ER Bourgeois: 1-0, 5.1 innings, 4 ER Now, Ott only has 1 IP in the weekend and Bama is the team he infamously demolished for 7 innings in the season. I'd never suggest he'd start, but if he could get 3-6 outs and build some confidence, I'd be all for it.
i wouldnt. when he got rocked as a starter a few weeks ago, it seemed to shake him bad. i dont want to to there again. i think he can be used an inning or two in middle relief, but not multiple innings as a starter. edit to add: i cant find the article, but i could have sworn i read a statement by cpm after the fiasco of ott starting before saying something to the effect of "never again".
thank god! i thought you had lost your mf'ing mind! :lol: i guess i did cause i completely misread what you wrote!
It would be sweet, but no sense risking a tender arm with the NCAA coming up. We are peaking at tournament time in true Skip Bertman fashion. All of the pitchers will have to step up.
