If Smith gets the start then to me that's a sign that the organization has no faith in Rittich being the #1 guy. He's played great this whole season and Smith has been probably the worst starter in the entire league, yet they keep going back to him? How many lives does he have? Smith did play good against the yotes but there was no real pressure on him in that game since the flames were running away with it early.
I'd be pretty disappointed if Smith starts not only because Rittch absolutely deserves to keep starting but also because that basically means the organization is telling Rittch they don't believe in him.
