Here’s your preview. Sadly, the article focuses on silly criticism of Avent’s calculated gamble last year (saving his best pitcher for the winners’ bracket). I thought Avent was correct then, and still do. If State couldn’t beat Stony Brook with a lesser starting pitcher, how could we expect to beat the bracket’s better teams with same and advance? Just because something doesn’t work most certainly doesn’t mean that it was the wrong decision. It was still the correct odds play (like going for it on 4th and short in almost all feasible situations). But I’m getting pissed just starting that argument. After reading my shit for 10+ years, you know where I stand by now.
Fun fact – my former boss and mentor played baseball at Stetson. Well, it’s fun to me.
