It’s well past time to make Tanner the Saturday starter.
Gives us our best 1-2 punch back to back to have a shot at winning SEC series’ again.
OT: Boogs MSU not men’s softball...

- Start date

All I see is a gigantic eyesore that makes my tummy queasy..
Doing my part to cheer on the Boogs men's sAUftebaulle sqaud. I think one more beer and we can pull this thing out.
Yep. I think Mitchell should move into the Sunday starter spot.
Burns is throwing pretty well, but I’m pretty sure our girls softball team could score more runs than we do..
Poorly executed hit and run costs us an out. Can’t play small ball if you aren’t disciplined enough to execute it, I suppose.
Brutal. My men’s softball squad would quit if we ever scored less than 15 runs in a 7 inning game.
MSU put the scrubbiest pitcher I’ve ever seen in in the 6th and we started raking. Nothing really since.
Happy to see something good happen for this team. They've continued to grind, and it's good to see that paid off, even if for a brief moment. That was a big AB for Venter. Hopefully, that's something he can get some confidence from and build off of for the next 5 SEC series. I thought Greenhill was really good in his first extended outing. If he can add a third pitch, he's probably in our weekend starting rotation next year. I thought Burns pitched pretty well too. Probably need to move Mitchell into the starting rotation to see if we can have a more competitive start with Daniel struggling.
Big series coming up this weekend. Need to find a way to win 2. Bama's pitching staff has been a big surprise so far in SEC play. Their starters aren't world beaters, but their bullpen has been very strong for them so far this season. Going to be a tough series at their place.

Just looked up the standings. 3rd place overall in the SEC and last place are just 4 games a part.
Yeah, I could see about 10 teams finishing somewhere between 13-17 and 16-14 this year.
I posted this on the bunk, but Butch made some interesting comments about the pitching rotation going forward. Said Mize and Burns would likely stay Fri/Sun and Mitchell would likely start Saturday in place of Daniel. But he also talked about looking ahead and how future series set up. Florida is a Thur-Sat series, and he talked like they're having conversations about not moving Mize up and letting him stay in his Friday spot so as not to shorten his rest and put more stress or fatigue on his arm. Given that 3 of our final 4 series are Thur-Sat, I found that comment interesting. Makes me think we would bump Burns up next week for the Saturday start and throw who knows against Singer next Thursday. Then, you'd probably have to mix the Thursday and Sunday starts up from here on out given the short rest there would be. Might look something like this:
at Bama (Fri-Sun): Mize/Mitchell/Burns
at UF (Thur-Sat): ???/Mize/Burns moves up a day (it might make sense to move Tanner up against Bama if they are seriously considering this "Mize on Friday" routine)
Vandy (Fri-Sun): Mize/Burns/???
at OM (Thur-Sat): ???/Mize/Burns
LSU (Fri-Sun): ???/Mize/Burns
I’d take 13-17 today and not play the games. We will struggle to get there if we don’t turn it on quick.
Really hope we go Mize, Burns, Johnny Wholestaff this weekend.
Tanner’s biggest challenge is getting to 6-7 innings of consistent command instead of 4-5 innings. When he gets there, we will be tough to beat with him on the bump.

Looks like that’s the plan. They announced yesterday were moving Tanner to Saturday and TBDing Sunday’s starter. Probably going to start one of Coker, Mitchell, or Greenhill, whichever is the freshest on Sunday.
