re: Would like to know why Anderson started over Herring

Starting a game guarantees a clean situation. If a reliever is brought in to start the 2nd inning, you have likely already screwed yourself and the situation is much worse.

The fact that they started Anderson shows you that had they started Herring they would have inserted Anderson early and tried to get two or three innings out of him. Maybe the baseball gods would have smiled on that, but how does CJJ know that before the game starts?

Same with the shift. A bunch of retards criticize the shift without giving any statistics about where that particular batter usually hits that particular pitch.
