re: Why not let Herring start from here on out?

First of all I don’t think 2 of 3 every weekend gets it done.

It very well might not. But that’s the bare minimum to even have a chance.

And the most likely scenario (if things go the way they have) is that you’ve lost 2 games already without having thrown your best pitcher.

Losing two games is the most likely scenario even if you do throw your best pitcher. We’ve seen that all year. This team is likely to lose most games in which Holman or Herring don’t pitch a significant amount of innings.

There is probably no right answer to this. It’s fair to say that you can’t waste Herrings innings.

I don’t think there is a right answer either. At the moment I think you could put whatever rotation you want and it’s unlikely that we make the postseason. I mean hell, if we are being honest, the best way to win 2/3 might be wholestaff game 1, Jump/Herring combo game 2, Holman and whoever is left in game 3 but that’s obviously not going to happen.
