The Chase is on
AUBURN - Pitching is better done without a whole lot of thinking.
At least it's that way for Chase Lirette, the most recent Auburn Doubledays' hurler to squeeze into the starting rotation. The right-hander spent most of his month with the Doubledays, and his college career before that, as a reliever but when Hector Delgadillo was promoted, vacating a starting spot, the Doubledays felt Lirette was ready to fill in.
“It's a little different (being a starter),” Lirette said. “It's more of a nervous feeling when you're starting because you have so much time to think about it and when you're coming out of the bullpen, it's a different atmosphere. When you're warming up, you don't have time to worry about it. I was nervous starting because when you know you have to do it for the first time, it starts to build up on you.”
