Starter strategy; Ivy, Mac or Keely for next game?

BYU has played 3 games to our 2 and would have to beat us twice/5 games played in 3 days.
Wouldn’t it make sense to see if we can score and support Ivy/Mac combo in 6:00 game? Maybe have each go 3, then let Keely close in 7th if a lead?? That way IF BYU beats us we haven’t gassed Keely?

I think that’s what I’d do if I were Pete. Then you’ve got BYU pitchers in their 5th game and we’ve likely seen all of them by then as their ace started our game & both yesterday

Go for the jugular in game one. Best way to go, imo. Our pitching options -- VT One 05/22/2021 11:28AM

Just as interested in who's going for the Cougars... -- RRHokie90 05/22/2021 09:56AM

Does BYU have 25+ yr olds playing like their men’s teams -- hokiepro 05/22/2021 09:59AM

....you know that crossed my mind as I posted that! ** -- RRHokie90 05/22/2021 10:02AM

Yeah, ASU was hitting her pretty well last night. ** -- RJHokie 05/22/2021 09:57AM

I'd live to see our younger pitchers get a chance...... -- mygreenbaypackers 05/22/2021 08:46AM

For long term health of program, it’d be good to pitch Ivy/Mac AND WIN -- hokiepro 05/22/2021 09:44AM

Agree with that. ** -- mygreenbaypackers 05/22/2021 12:06PM

Keely is the only option -- VaTechHokiesACC 05/22/2021 08:37AM

You start Keely ..imo You go with your best and try and end it ** -- Hokie83 05/22/2021 07:23AM

While I understand that thinking. What if we lose a close low scoring duel -- hokiepro 05/22/2021 07:36AM

If we do it’s on the bats and not the pitching. -- hokieZ71 05/22/2021 09:36AM

Umps in VT's 2 previous,games,not calling low balls -- Sportsman 05/22/2021 08:38AM

That’s a good point re: no low strikes ** -- hokiepro 05/22/2021 09:34AM

You never ..... -- 2hhoop3 05/22/2021 08:33AM

Ok. I certainly want to win it in Game 1 -- hokiepro 05/22/2021 08:36AM

I wouldn't mess around with a team that has already won 2 in a row -- HokieAllMyLife 05/22/2021 09:09AM

Maybe .... -- 2hhoop3 05/22/2021 08:48AM

Yep I think it’s an interesting decision -- hokiepro 05/22/2021 09:41AM

I think the best chance to advance is to win game one. That means do not -- dallasvt 05/22/2021 12:54PM

Yeah, fer sure....probably same for both teams, 2nd game gets more -- `lag 05/22/2021 07:34AM

Yep; makes sense to me... ** -- TomA 05/22/2021 07:32AM
