We are going to need all three to pitch well today if we are to win 2 games
Bree/Avery in G1 and Mazz in G2.

The starter needs to be the one that you could re-enter if needed = Bre
Although Bre got a little wild herself last night - or frustrated...Avery finished strong. Id go with Bre to start - Mazz gets a fresh inning starting with the number 6 or later hitter. Avery for in inning changes. Bre for clean-up... Same for Game 2

Start who you feel best about FINISHING a game. To me that’s Bree

Would you dare start Layton?
I just don’t trust Mazz, unfortunately, and I’m not convinced that Bree’s arm is totally healthy.

Start Bree.

I think you have to start Bree with Layton in relief.
Mazz? You certainly can't start her and risk multiple BB to start the game. Can you pitch her at all? There's really no way to know what you're going to get but you can bet LSU will force her to throw strikes.

Yep. And when she throws strikes, she throws “bad” strikes
Velo in, velo out. When she grooves one, it usually ends up leaving the yard.

Completely agree!
No way am I going down with Mazzarone in the circle today.

For us to have been successful at the very end of today ...
We'll absolutely need Mazz. Bree --> Mazz --> Layton Let's compete and put some pressure on LSU today. Nobody has made them even break a sweat so far this weekend.

Agree, but Mazz will be needed at some point if we win first game. Whoever
is pitching can’t give up walks. We put too many “free” runners on base, that end up scoring.

The umps have postage stamp strike zones..frustrating to Mazz
