[Hit and Run]

not counting them out but wouldnt it make more since to throw your number one first round so u can have them for championship game

Monday games could bring their ace back on Friday if he throws on Monday. Also, they considered the Thursday quarterfinals to be on Wednesday last year. This gave the opportunity for a team to throw a kid 3-5 innings in the Thursday quarters, and bring him back Friday. If you play a Monday game it seems more logical to me to bring your ace in the first round, and hope to get by the second, and then come back with your gun again in the semi's. Once you get to Saturday night anything can happen.
