Gotta go with whoever you think is your best at the moment. UW has one of the best starters in the entire CWS in Demers.

I think that’s good. You can’t risk getting yourself into the loser’s bracket on day 1.

I'm holding out hope that we see a dominant performance from Pilk, if Small does his thing tomorrow, Game 2 would be about as timely as ever.

I get what you’re saying, but I think it’s too risky. Putting yourself in the loser’s bracket on day 1 is a disaster. Also, couldn’t you use Small later in the week too? Because the games aren’t on back to back days. I also think we have enough bullpen guys to save us if one of the starters gets into trouble.

You just suggested that we hold not only our ace, but also our number 2 and 3 pitchers for game 1 of the CWS when Washington is throwing one of the best starting pitchers in the country. You’re allowed to have any opinion you want. When it’s one that off the wall, it’s going to get a lot of wtf’s.

In my opinion France is a starter. He performs better when the slate is clean. Conversely pilk isnt a starter. Hes best for about 3 innings. It doesnt matter which of gm 1 or 2 you lose, if you do. Unc and osu are clearly better teams that wash. Given that i save my ace for gm2 and throw what i think is a more accurate combo of their abilities in France/Pilk

France could be a starter but we have to throw our top 2 guys in the first 2 games. Also, GH may like the Small matchup better today than any of the other guys. France is very capable of setting us up for a W coming in behind those guys later in a game.

Pilk is a starter and this year has been rough, happens to the best. Pilk is a work horse with good stamina. Early in the season he had some bad bounces, shelled, errors and some bad luck. Pilk brings great experience in big games, unlike France.

We have to win game one and undoubtfully GH thinks Small gives MSU the best chance.
