It's good to know he experienced that last year.

Well. It's basically do or die. Kinda the same thing. Who here wouldn't take the 4 shutout innings he threw against Florida before things went sideways. I'd take Hurd with a short hook. I think Hurd is better as a starter than a reliever. Either start him or leave him

If it's Dutton, he shouldn't see the lineup more than once.

One option is Moffet who gave us 3+ innings against A&M. But he's good in relief so I'd have him ready for after whoever starts.

I could be wrong, but I don't see Jay starting Ack (my first choice) since he threw Friday. We will 100% see Ack, but the question is "when?".

Ulloa will come in as relief at some point, but he's never gone more than 2.0 innings and hasn't hit 40 pitches in an outing.


Dutton 2 innings
Moffet 2 innings
Ack 3 innings
Ulloa 2 innings

This could certainly work without Hurd, but doesn't leave much room for error. I have as much faith in Hurd as I do Anderson or Loer which is very limited.
