I can't say I agree with the decision but I am not up in arms over the decision. In the past few regionals Stanford has held back their ace. I am curious if there is a magic number from the Stanford offense that could turn this into a short outing to save some of Mathews for the back end of the regional. Either way, hopefully Quinn has a steady outing and gets some confidence back!Who we go with today is an interesting question. I think I go with the decision as made, give Mathews the ball. I think winning this first game is really important for this team. So much of this teams success has resulted from them being able to put up football type scores and come from behind, but they don't always make that happen, witness the Pac 12 Championship series. If we win this one we have two chances to move on. I think this team will fare better if we give ourselves the best chance to do that, and Mathews seems to be it. After Mathews it seems far more of a crap shoot when it comes to picking the next most likely guy to win.
So FWLIW that is my less than expert opinion.
