Charlottesville: An Odd Choice

By Elliot Olshansky - June 04, 2006

Kyle Smith walks in the bottom of the eighth, and Ray Tanner brings in Alex Farotto to finish this inning, which he does, in short order.

You know, for a guy who's arguably overworked his starters in this one, Tanner sure picked an odd time to be liberal with his staff. The Gamecocks are three outs away from playing tomorrow, and I'd want to have as many arms ready as possible, given the way Evansville has swung the bat here. Curious, very curious.
