I've had a bad BJ before, just didn't complain at the time.

The kid threw 30 of the least stressful, easy going pitches you'll ever see tonight. He wasn't being taxed in the least bit.
We need him for an inning (or two) tomorrow, he can go.
Gotta find something to complain about.

The difference between 15 pitches and whatever he ended with (less than 30?) is nothing when your arm is hot.
This felt like a plan from the beginning. Highfill pulled at exactly 75. You have Fritton - Consiglio - Smith tomorrow almost guaranteed. If things get weird, Dudan can throw.

Handled business tonight. All that matters. Win the game in front of you!

Great win! On to the next one. Go Pack!
But you have more games than just tomorrow. Just seems odd the plan wasn't situational.

He threw less pitches in the game than he did to warmup, and all but 6-7 of them were off speed.

30 pitches he may be able to pitch tomorrow but it won't be more than 40-50 pitches max and he for sure won't pitch three days in a row. Up 7 I just don't see why waste the bullets if you don't have to? Throw a lower tier arm and if you get in a jam you still have Smith.
You realize he threw 30 pitches not 75, right?pblanks said:

Sam threw 76 and Jacob 30...We finished the game with 2 pitchers throwing 106 pitches and we're sitting here complaining about it.
Man...LOL

Yep, win tomorrow and all this is moot.
We need to win, avoid the extra game
The "win the game in front of you" mentality is a silly argument. If that's the case, why not close with Smith in the 9th tonight?
I think questioning using one of your best arms up 7 during a regional that can be 4 or 5 games is fair game. Saying it's complaining is dismissive of something that should be a conversation.
Great win, beat cocks.

If Fritton, Consiglio, and Smith can't get it tomorrow then you never needed the bullet IMO

I just fall in the category of save your high end RP for pressure situations. I don't care if it's in the fourth inning or the 9th.
Dudan is a true FR playing in his first regional....low stress, low pitch innings to get him used to the environment. Like I said, kid didn't even break a sweat tonight.Jtilley said:

How many arms did the chickens use?
40-50 pitches have pretty much been Dudan's max all yearJtilley said:

They used their Friday guy, best middle reliever for about 30, and then their closer for over 70
I actually would have used smith in the 9th. I think he's had a long rest and could use some work. But the win the game in front of you is not a silly argument. It's the most important thing that matters.pblanks said:

He's still available to throw tomorrow and Sunday if you need him to in a pinch.Jtilley said:CLTWolf said:You realize he threw 30 pitches not 75, right?pblanks said:

I mean SCar's best reliever tossed 73 stressful pitches today. He ain't throwing tomorrow.
They threw one of their
Yeah, that's tough right there. What Dudan did tonight...nothing.

How many teams fans thought they weren't going to use their best arms today and are now in the losers bracket? Could we have won today throwing second tier arms in relief? Probably. Do y'all really wanna find out for sure? Probably not.

I just don't see a scenario where we absolutely need Dudan and we can't throw him again after just 30 pitches. We got 3 other really good bullpen options still completely fresh. Ideally you use at most 2 of those 3 tomorrow then you have the one that doesn't throw and Dudan available again for Sunday

Yeah, I'd prefer to walk Messina so I can get out the next guy (which they did).Borowolf10 said:James Henderson said:

Don't let the other team's best guy beat you. I hate coaching from a manual.JMU coach Marlin Ikenberry in pitching to Messina: "It’s kind of a catch-22. Don’t want to walk the tying run on base."

It's absolutely amazing that we're *****ing about this. In a day of upsets, we used two arms in an easy win. We have our entire pitching staff available for the next two (possibly three) days, and the dude they're *****ing about could literally come back on Sunday or Monday with zero impact. There's virtually zero difference between 15 pitches and 30 pitches in the game scenario Dudan was pitching in tonight.
Enjoy the win. We play again tomorrow, and then we can find something else to ***** about.
Why are we starting so and so vs South Carolina?
Why are we leaving him in so long??
Why are we wasting outs bunting to move runners over?
Why are we bringing in so and so to pitch long relief?
Its actually amazing how many Buck Schowalters we have on here every May-June.

Preach. Today was a mess across college baseball. We were one of the four or five 1's to not have a stressful day. Set up really well for this weekend still.
Hell, Highfill could throw 1-2 on Monday if it got weird (shouldn't need to and probably won't but still).

I think some of yall are forgetting that Regional Weekend is PEAK internet baseball expert season. They live for this. Don't go to a single game at the Doak, and wait to ***** about everything, One of my favorite times of year.
