This is really a great move. Looking forward to the series!

Not sure how I feel about weakening our pen for 3 days for this move. He sure looked great on Sunday though
quote:My first thought was not to mess up what is working with the pen, but this makes sense. Need to figure out if we are better off with Hendrix staring and Simonds in the pen, or the other way around. We can try it now and make adjustments later, if we need to.
This is the time to experiment with it so that we have everyone's roles figured out for the postseason. The way I look at it, our great start affords Childress the opportunity to try a few things out down the stretch. It's not like Simonds hasn't pitched well out of the pen, so we shouldn't lose much in production there.

speaking of starting pitching...it would really behoove the Ags to win their regional in 3 games. Otherwise it will be a very nervous situation to run Larkins out there for a game 4

Speaking of using Simonds and along those lines...will he still be available this weekend after having to go long relief last night?

Paging "The Debt". LOL

Does anyone here think simonds gives up those 3? Or loads the bases with 1 out?

For his first start of the year against a good hitting team, Hendrix did pretty good. Yeah, he got himself into trouble, but it wasn't like he got shelled out there. And guess what, Simonds was the guy we brought in to get out of another bad Hendrix inning, Simonds was also the guy RC bumped from starting this game.
