I’ve heard differing reports on Aiden, the last being they were hopeful for him to start this weekend. A friend said that Coach Canham said he has been throwing bullpens, which was in a pregame interview… anyone else hear that from Coach? That would be a really good sign

He could have started 2 weeks ago or be shutdown. No one knows outside the program.

I fear he secretly did something really bad like Tommy John and we won't see him again this season.

Judging by Canham's past announcements and/or non-announcements about injuries, my guess is that May is done.

It will still be a pitch-by-committee approach for a few weeks on Fridays as they will use an abundance of caution with May. It would be great to see him pitch an inning this weekend for sure.

I'm not saying it's flawed or wrong, just that I don't "get it". Why is winning Friday more important than Saturday or Sunday. Considering two of our NC's took place after dropping the first game, I would think of all programs, we would appreciate the significance and satisfaction of winning the final two games of a series. Yes I clearly get you have to win Friday to sweep, but that's not really what is on the table (at least I don't think it is). Pulling Kamatz for Friday may help Friday's chances but doesn't it hurt Saturdays' chances? |

The "pitch by committee" option is shrinking. We are reaching a point it mighty be prudent to keep those arms fresh and lively. With 37 games left on the regular season schedule, we might want to save as many bullets for post season play as we can.
Currently, we know Johnson and deCremer will not pitch this year. We know Palmer is out for an extended period. Jimenez underwent UCL reconstructive surgery and is out for the year. May's status seems to fluctuate but for now, it is week to week. Scott and Lattery also are MIA and appear to be on the shelf - they currently fall into the "status unknown" category and Reynolds hasn't appeared since February 21st.
We had 21 pitchers throwing during fall practices. Today it looks like we have 13 healthy hurlers but with some of them struggling to find their rhythm.

Yes I clearly get you have to win Friday to sweep, but that's not really what is on the table (at least I don't think it is). Pulling Kamatz for Friday may help Friday's chances but doesn't it hurt Saturdays' chances? Having a pitcher pitch well on Friday sets ups the rest of the weekend better for pitching. More fresh arms for Saturday. And, if everything goes well on Friday and Saturday, more fresh arms for Sunday. Look at the Utah series. If Kmatz had pitched on Friday, followed by Mundt, Oakes, and Talavs, Mundt, Oakes, and Talavs would have been free to pitch on Sunday. Instead, none of the three could pitch on Sunday. Instead, after Segura and Lawson got into trouble, you had no pitchers left. Oregon State brought in a tired Hutch, who threw a perfect inning. (It should have been a perfect 1.1 innings, but Bazzana booted it.) Hutch threw a perfect 15 pitches, which is all that he had left. Hutch then gave up two singles to knot it up. Ferguson was on full rest but pitched terribly. And apparently Oregon State's only option was a tired Montgomery, who immediately gave up another run. I am not that upset, because of the terrible conditions in Salt Lake City on Friday. As long as Segura does not just implode, you have a sweep. But at some point, not throwing your best starters in order will come back to bite Oregon State. And the current decision will only get dumber after this weekend, because of Easter. |

Segura imploded so much that he still had a 3 run lead when he left. Bullpen still should have been better and not given up 8 runs……2 more than Segura did. |

My point was that they would have been more able to had Segura been throwing on Saturday rather than throwing two pitchers who were obviously still tired from Friday. Not throwing your best pitchers in order sets your bullpen up to lose Sunday games, if the starter has problems. It is like walking a highwire without a net. If things go perfectly, great things can happen. But things can go South very quickly as soon as you run into the slightest bit of trouble. I do not understand what in the holy hell the coaching staff is doing. It makes no rational sense to me. |

Segura could have easily blew up on Saturday as well. If they think May will be back, you stick with the normal routine. |
