if we lose, I would think Routt could handle the pressure of the "winner moves on" game better than Stratton...if Stratt blows up early- Jones is ready to come in and keep us in it
why not save reed and start him monday. he will give us a good outing and give us a chance. no point in throwing stratton when your gonna jerk him out in the second if he gets in trouble thats a waste
Throwing your ace to start the game I don't think is a good idea. Leave Stratton or Jones or whoever a short leash, but leave your ace in the pen just in case.
