The main reason to start Ginn is you absolutely do not want Ginn starting against Miami. Ginn has shown he struggled against lefty heavy line-ups, it’s why LSU shells him. Miami is a lefty heavy line-up, Plumlee is the better matchup with Miami.
Says more about your judgement. If we are up big, and Jake wants to...why not? He's done it before and seemed to have fun. Lord knows our fans enjoyed it. Could be a nice experience in one of his last games at The Dude.
ETA - you do know I wasn't suggesting starting Jake...just letting him pitch an inning or two if we get up big. Saves arms and could be fun.
Its not the transitive property to say that if one team proves they can beat an SEC caliber pitching staff that they might be capable of doing it again. It’s common sense that if we aren’t careful, the same thing can happen to us. Therefore, we shouldn’t dick around with a midweek guy in the opening game.
