They were effective and we had no one worth a crap to go to. Really question the quick hooks on effective pitchers to get to McQ

pitching decisions in this series have been head scratchers, for sure. it's like he forgot we have a dozen guys with their arms in a sling

Because it really didn't matter who we pitched. We lost 13 of our last 23 games and that is with a 4 game win streak in Hub City last week. We didn't lose ALL of them because of pitching. Sometimes, when you have a chance to pounce on a team with your bats, you can demoralize them. LSU just did that in 2 games.

So the question remains unanswered

This sure doesn't answer it worth a damn

David Murray said that Jolly was losing location and getting frustrated is why he was pulled. Pulling Barlow is a serious head scratcher tho. He was in a groove

Jolly was losing location, huh? McQ finishes the year with 50 bb in 55.1 ip. I doubt seriously anyone in the country with 50 ip is worse. That's one of the worst bb rates I've ever seen. He K'd 40 in 55.1 ip.

Regional pitching selections were beyond strange in my view. Even Saturday night, if you don't want to go with Self (for whatever reason), why would you not use Barlow against Deichmann in the 8th to get the lefty-lefty matchup? Staying with Plumlee against Deichmann didn't really seem to make a lot of sense.
