re: Start and pitch Skenes like normal tomorrow

Pitch him till his arm falls off. We are talking about a championship on the line.

You do realize that he may not be physically capable of performing at the level you expect?

Suddenly the wave of DVs at daring suggesting we pull him an inning before he did against Wake in order to spare his arm to tomorrow makes sense.

Y’all just magically assume he will always perform like he has had a week rest just because y’all need him too.

He got the job done on Thursday but his numbers were empirically worse than against Tennessee. You have no idea how hard he had to push himself to do that.

And yet you frickers just assume he has more. “For nine innings if needed” to quote one poster.

Yea, he will pitch tomorrow. Yea, he will be an asset. But you got to stop daydreaming that he will single-handedly give a shutout performance all games.

The rest of the team, both pitching and bats will have to step up. I’ll be SHOCKED if he goes more than 5 innings as a best case scenario.
