Send him to the bullpen for a while. Shores, Herring, or Edwards need a shot at starting game three’s.

Yep, most of his starts have not been great.

Lsu has a Sunday starter problem.

Move him to midweek to get more reps.

Who else do we have though?

The one thing you can’t abide in the bullpen is walking guys.

Hurd is not a valid bullpen option right now.

Let him start the midweek until he fixes whatever is going on

I think Shores should get the first opportunity to start on a Sunday.

It has to be Shores, but that's a crying shame given how good he's been out of the bullpen.

We're going to need Hurd or Little to settle in as a middle reliever who doesn't suck. And that's a bit scary because Hurd can't throw strikes and Little stinks out of the stretch.

Or Collins, Money, Hellmers or Dutton.

Right now that's six right-handers with experience who can't get anybody out.

Wes Johnson has some work to do.

His problem seems to be when he misses his spots, balls are right over the plate in hitters sweet spot, he throws strikes just in wrong spots

Do you want to win a national championship or just get to Omaha? Hurd is the difference.

I agree it does, but what really needs to end is the fricking Jobert experiment.

I would like to see Herring or Little get a chance at starting but we still need good arms out of the bullpen. Keep Edwards in the bullpen and let him be the stopper and keep Shores in the bullpen in the role he is in and let him succeed. No matter what we need arms out of the bullpen to count on.

Don't see anything special about this guy at all...pitches alright for a short while then tanks. Good for maybe an inning or two in weekday games.
He gave Tennessee the game and kept us from getting the sweep.

Give Herring a start midweek and see how it goes. Love that kid.

Hurd will get better imo. The strike zone. Yesterday was ridiculous Blue missed easy strikes. Also Dugas was error prone in First inning 2 errors and 6 runs later. Hurd will get better. Jay has not given upon Hurd and neither have I. I remember last year everyone wanted Thompson on bench. Who wants him on bench now!!!!

Yesterday was a new low, but it wasn't just Hurd to blame. Atrocious play in the field led to Hurd's demise.

It is a bit frustrating that we are getting shaky results from our two transfers from other powerhouse programs—Hurd from UCLA and Little from Vanderbilt.

Edwards or Shores. At this point it’s not that complicated.
