[quote=Moundbound]Johnson centrals Logan simkins appears to be third in the rotation for the eagles. Jc will be tough especially if their sticks still continue to produce.

Pikeville will be very beatable without Burton on the mound. With Burton pitching they will be a very tough team. Very good matchup will be pikeville throwing Burton and LC throwing shep. Can't wait for that one.[/QUOTE]

I think there is a preconceived notion that Burton would be throwing in that game? I'm not sure he gives you the best chance to win in that situation? You have a couple of other pitchers on that staff that can probably give you a better game against LC? I may be wrong, but I think it would be a bad move to start Burton against LC? Shep handles those situations better than Sam, he has been since he was in 7th grade. I just think if you try and put Shep against Sam then your setting Sam up for failure. I would much rather see Cecil go against LC?

the players of LC would of course yell at sam, maybe trying to get to his head, his heart.... either way i agree putting burton in that type of situation could probably be handled another way, we will see cecils frist start against williamson but pikeville has hamilton who is perfectly capable of pitching against LC as well.
