I actually think one of the games next week was scheduled the week we play Ole Miss but have to moved when that series was moved to Thursday for TV.

Okay, fair enough, but baseball players in college play everyday (except for a NCAA required one day off a week).

When there is no game, they practice and often scrimmage. Baseball players get better with repetition.

So it's not that big a deal, IMO.

The head baseball coach makes the schedule for outside of conference games.

I understand that but we are going to have to be very economical with our pitching staff over the next week. I want them all to be as fresh as possible for next weekend.

Too early in the season unless he averages only 9 pitches/inning.

They let him go nearly 100 last week. So they could let him go 8. Maybe even 9.

Yeah, he threw 96 pitches in 6 innings averaging 16 pitches/inning. I don't see him throwing a complete game this early in the season.

I'm not saying he will. But if he can be more efficient and pitch to contact then he can do it. I imagine they will let him go 100+ if he feels perfect. Limit on 110 probably.

With Vandy next weekend and the likelihood he'll have to battle Beede possibly all nine, I see him limited at around 85/95.

Yea. I'm sure that's what will happen. CPM doesn't like to take many risks with his players.

Which is good. We lose Nola, we lose almost the season.

Yea. I'm not complaining at all. It's better this way. As opposed to giving him the Rodon treatment.

Anything is better than the Lane Mestepey treatment

Most innings pitched:

Career: 480.0 Lane Mestepey (2001-2005)

30 Greatest Tigers of the Decade: #19 Lane Mestepey

Edit:

Aaron Nola 126.0 innings 2013, 89.2 innings 2012

Total 215.2

Mestepey's career inning total is ridiculous.
