Plus the whole psychology behind it - why tear your guy down the first series of the season - wreck his ERA and flush what otherwise might have been a winnable game. Seems like we have a bunch of unknown pitchers we could have given a couple of innings to.

Because Paul wants to see if Hess can work his way out of a tough situation. He wants to see what his velocity looks like after 80 pitches.

We go through this every year. Paul uses the first month and every midweek game to learn his team and to have his team learn about themselves. That way there are no surprises come the SEC play/the post season.

Theyve seen and done it all by then. Calm down and enjoy the ride

You said it right here. Everyone behind Hess is unknown. So you let your best guy try to work his way through it, because who knows what you will get behind him.

His ERA is not shot for the season. It was one damn game....ONE.
