Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 3159928, member: 55"] Polonia starting implies to me this is a bullpen game. I'd be surprised if he's committed to Wang starting the first game given we could still be in a 4 v 5 matchup. But remember -- you need up to 6 games to win a conference championship and that means six starts. Someone can certainly go 2 innings today and still be available to start Saturday or Sunday. And today is still a big game, both to stay out of ECU's side of the bracket and to keep alive the hope for a first round at home if we win the tourney. So while we might not overwork key relievers, we're going to give it our best. Polonia, Gardner and Simeone for 2 innings each. Mayock for 1. And then it will depend on where the game is. One last thought -- it's incredibly hard to understand how Gardner's OBA can be so, so good and he gets as few chances as he has gotten. How can you not want to see if he can continue that over more innings? [/QUOTE]
