My thoughts?

Every team in Omaha is fricking good.

Go Skenes game 1. After that then and only then can we try and get cute.

The whole "save Skenes for Wake crowd" will be in for a rude awakening if LSU loses game 1 and we don't see them.

Exactly.

Wake winning their first game isn’t a given either. There’s no easy W’s in Omaha. If you pitch Skenes in the opener, he’s possibly available on short rest for a potential Thursday winner take all game to decide our bracket….or he’s fully rested for game 1 of the championship series. If you save Skenes for game 2, then he’s definitely not going to be available until the championship (and probably not until game 2)

Skenes for first game, then TBD.

Hurd is my 2nd game starter if we have Wake then. If Hurd is on, he is our best chance against Wake.

Floyd, then Coleman for next starts.

Let's hope Cooper is as good as he has been in his past couple of appearances. Will need Auk and Money to have good outings as well. Both Money and Cooper may eat up some innings in the large park at Omaha.

Whether you lose game 1 without Skenes or game 2 without Skenes is no different in the CWS.

Or what if they don't win their first game either? It's not impossible that Stanford or Texas could beat them.

Remember that year we decided to hold Alex Lange and not pitch him in Game 1 of the CWS?
