Sorry but I don’t get it. We are a team just making the tournament and we
“Save” pitchers for the next game? Play your best to win game one… And I was of this opinion before we lost.

Makes zero sense. But having said that, two runs wasn’t gonna win with
Renfrow out there either.

One can certainly disagree with the approach, but I see some sense in it
Of course you don't want to lose *any* games...you also know you're almost certainly going to have to beat the overall #1 at some point...maybe beat them twice...you can't afford to lose there either. Maybe it wasn't even the approach. We'll see.

Odds are, UCLA would not have lost
and Renfrow might have never seen UCLA If VT lost to Cal Poly and then lost in the elimination bracket...... we would never have faced UCLA with Renfro.

Of course there are scenarios where it doesn't work just are there
Those where it does. People are acting like Eisenreich was a sure loss

It is so intuitive, it deserves a "duh". Less margin for error

Do we know he is being saved or is that just an assumption
Because he didnt pitch? I saw the post the Sefc said he would return… ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 5/30/2026, 7:25:53 AM

We won’t know until the game starts today
Seems more likely he is unavailable and Szefc is going a bit overboard on the deception angle but who knows. If available I would throw my best in game 1.
