The Official Kentucky @ Tennessee Series Thread (Fri. 5/12 6:30PM EST SEC NET+) (Sat. 5/13 Noon EST SEC Network) (Sun. 5/14 1PM EST SEC NET+)

I don’t know who makes the decision about when to replace a pitcher. However, I do believe that often they wait one batter too long to replace a pitcher who has already thrown over 100 pitches. It has cost us runs in the past and it cost us today. Not only does it cost us runs, it puts a lot of unnecessary strain on a pitcher who throws a lot of fast balls and sliders. We have a lot of arms in the bullpen and our starters need to be in top condition for the SEC tournament as well as the NCAAs.

I’m not a coach so will defer to our coaches. As a fan, I thought they’d go to the pen earlier a batter or two earlier.
