Sounds like the JT pitching experiment will continue. Second link is another game article. Pierce is well protected by the AAS, LHN, and Radio Broadcast. LHN "Game Plan With David Pierce" is scheduled at 7PM tonight if interested.
"I'm trying to win. The reason why is because I think he's a kid that can help us just like Cade, just like (Whitehead)," Pierce said after the UTRGV game. "At the end of the day, we're trying to win baseball games and I'm not going to sit and watch the same stuff happen without trying to explore all of our different options. I really think JT's an option."
"JT is a good pitcher, I'm telling you," Pierce said. "It wasn't perfect, but we've got a lot of baseball to play after that. I'd much rather have done it tonight to start versus his first time in a leverage situation. He has toughness, he has grit and he'll figure things out."
