I think this is a season strategy to try to limit as much as possible the innings of two starting pitchers. I think it is a good strategy as teams usually need to go once through the batting order to make adjustments on a pitcher. If you can get pitchers like White and Orsini to give you a couple of scoreless innings or even a run in two. Then your incoming top pitchers only need to go five which is quite a reduction in pitches and innings over a long season.Have not been able to see any of the games so far,, but have been surprised with White and Orsini starting all the games. Do you think this a temporary move by Karen just to get them some meaningful innings or is there some kind of strategy involved? Seems to be working whatever the reason.
Believe it’s build confidence in the players, team and Karen trusting. All are on a short leash already which isn’t good for them or the team to figure it out without calling Payton in.Have not been able to see any of the games so far,, but have been surprised with White and Orsini starting all the games.

I’m not there so I don’t get to sit on the meetings on this one, but when you have four games in three days, you try to manage innings best you can.Have not been able to see any of the games so far,, but have been surprised with White and Orsini starting all the games.

This my one big gripe with softball scoring. It assumes they can’t make plays unless everything is perfect. No male player would be given the position if they couldn’t field a routine hop from the fielder. It is a disservice to the players and the pitchers. When throwing from the hole it is not always perfect.The hop is the error. It should be an error.
