Smaller Rotation?

[BaseballFan913]

I'm not a frequent poster on this board, but I do watch a majority of games and I'm really confused as why Pike forces this 9 man rotation (10 when Eugene is healthy).

I'm not going to call out any amateur athlete, but I keep seeing one player not contributing and I'm wondering why we don't go to an 8 man rotation? I see a lot of interchangeable parts on this team. Quite a few guys can play many positions and roles.

Is it a conditioning thing? Is an 8-man rotation just too rigorous?

8-man rotation should be be too rigorous for a well conditioned athlete. Doubt that is the reason he goes with more.
