Houston not using Cole mid-inning = Weaver not scheduling make-up game


In 2000, after the BCS "where is my refund" game --- supposedly TCU (with Tomlinson) was willing to play an extra game in December, but Weaver didn't pursue. His official excuse was something about "Wouldn't want to present our fans with an unfamiliar situation."

Because driving to Blacksburg in December is significantly different than October/November games?

Same with Houston & Cole --- you have the best pitcher in baseball (since the All-Star break). Start of inning, middle of inning, whatever. Let him pitch, and he'll figure it out.

Oh no, there was already a runner on 1st base! Because starting-pitchers never have to deal with runners on-base?!?!??

  I thought they pulled Greinke too early. ** -- BG Hokie 10/31/2019 12:00PM
  I thought it was perfect timing! ;-) -- Nova Hokie 95 10/31/2019 12:03PM
  WRT to the "right question," your question is a valid one -- VTHokie2000 10/31/2019 11:25AM
  Osuna probably would've blown it as well ** -- Technocrat 10/31/2019 11:33AM
  Why wouldn't you use Cole in the eighth, though? -- Freddyburg Hokie 10/31/2019 11:18AM
  Because you never know when you'll need your closer -- Nova Hokie 95 10/31/2019 11:21AM
  If he's in at that time, he can continue on into extras... -- Freddyburg Hokie 10/31/2019 11:22AM
  He was on 2 days rest though ** -- Brown Water 10/31/2019 11:25AM
  Maybe Hinch saw signs that fatigue was starting to set in -- VTHokie2000 10/31/2019 11:35AM
  He acted fatigued the inning before -- TomTurkey 10/31/2019 11:47AM
  He was given one the previous inning on Turner though -- Technocrat 10/31/2019 11:52AM
  I get second guessed all the time 😎👍🏻 ** -- B777Fr8Dog 10/31/2019 10:48AM
