Agree with the Lingo idea too. At some point you have to look at results and not potential results. The bullpen, with some exceptions, has looked pretty good but we arent getting to them quickly enough...especially on Friday night.
Lingo needs to stay put in the BP. He was bad as a starter and has been good in it.
Yeah he needs to be in the pen. Idk that there really is a Friday answer this year. We dont hit most teams ace and we dont have a true Friday night guy yet. I guess you could try Crochet, Hunley, Wallace and Benoit with the first three getting one time through the order and then if it close handing it to Lingo.
Staying with Crochet on Friday's will pay huge over time. But,Anderson and Vitello need to be better with getting guys up and ready when things go sideways. Last nights pull was way to late.
Why not give Neely the ball Friday and move Crochet to Sunday. Wouldn't mess with Stallings spot or Hunley week day role.
How about Lingo, he did go 5 innings against FLA?
