[QUOTE="CINCYMETJACKET, post: 798272, member: 4003"] When I read "starting rotation", I read "one of our top 4 or 5 starters", whether that be on weekends or midweek (due to fewer midweek games this year, I'd say top 4). Granted, for college baseball, most people fixate on the 3 weekend starters as their "rotation". But I'd go back to the days when Mark Pope was definitely a part of our starting rotation as a freshman, and was drawing, and thoroughly beating, UGA on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. I suspect Buck Farmer started the same way, but Pope's dominance over Georgia midweek is what I recall. Clearly, Pope was a significant part of our starting rotation, just not on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Our problem lately is that we don't have a 4 or 5 deep rotation. If we did, we could move guys around and better handle a missed Hurter start. But Roedig has been hurt and not particularly effective when he pitches, Grissom has been out due to injury. Imagine Tech's trajectory if we had a "starting rotation" of Hurter, Roedig, Archer, Grissom, Crawford. And that's ignoring the potential starting contributions from other highly qualified pitchers that we may have seen or not seen yet. Grissom may start this weekend, and I would be excited to see it, but I also wouldn't be disappointed if he finally nails down our midweek slot, although I don't know how many more of those we have coming up. other than... UGA... [/QUOTE]
