Well at the beginning of the year I wasn't getting a big warm and fuzzy...
yeah, I would absolutely have a different opinion now, still Pete said something liked drain the tank a few days ago which I took to mean leave Mazz in there long as possible and she ended up getting a complete game. There were points in the 6th and 7th inning where that was in the gambling zone of leaving her in or bringing someone in relief not named Carrico who you wanted to be fresh the next day. Carrico was left in until she started losing it a little bit (Duke wasted a lot of pitches in the 3rd, was worried about that) then she had some quick innings but one was like three flyouts so they were beginning to see the ball...)
I'll stop. I would say FSU did the committee thing, I think mainly so the VT hitters wouldn't get grooved, so a comittee to keep batters off balanced with their two star pitchers. I would guess Pete didn't like what he saw, mainly her energy levels and yeah, went with a fresh pitcher.

I agree. She sometimes seems overlooked with most attention given

Yeah, I thought so, Pete made some comment about "pitching by committee"

To me, "by committee" meant "situational," or to change styles midgame.
