High stress, high leverage, whatever people want to call it


3 innings pitched in the postseason or highly contested conference series are just different than 3 innings vs Longwood, MTSU, Radford, etc.

Taking those stressful innings away is important. Pretty sure Alabama didn’t start Montana Fouts on Fri of regionals last year and went with Kilfoyl their #2. UCLA at the WCWS didn’t have Fraimo available and Garcia eventually wore out. UT didn’t have anyone behind Ashley Rogers last year and was eliminated on a Sat of regionals for the first time, because she had to go on Friday and twice on Sat.

We need to be good enough to win in the postseason without Keely in the circle. Yes taking 20-30 innings off her load will help but not needing her to pitch every single postseason game is also important.
