entry by Carl - May 21, 2024, 6:12 p.m.:
I agree with the decision to go to Buhr early. Bothwell was not sharp, despite being effective from a run prevention standpoint. With less than 60 pitches, he could be available as soon as Saturday, or if not needed come back on Sunday if the Hoosiers can get to a title game.
