Yeah it did. He even said that before and after.

If you win game 1, you try and win game 2 but not to the point where it will affect your staff for a possible game 3.

Contrary to popular belief, throwing Eades game 2 is not an automatic loss, but do you think that if they were to lose game 2, Mainieri would have a lot more confidence in Nola on the bump rather than Eades?

No, it didn't. Ranaudo pitched on Friday, there was zero chance he was going to start on Monday or Tuesday.

I disagree with Broski on the saving Gausman for Game 3 if you win Game 1. That only happens in a tournament when pitchers have already been pitching during the week. LSU has enough confidence in Gausman to win his game no matter who the other team starts. You don't give away Game 2 just to rest for Game 3. You never know what could happen, it could rain during Game 3 and your best pitcher could throw 4 pitches to the backstop with a wet ball. Notice that LSU threw Eades last Sunday night even though we had a game to play with. Close a series out when you get a chance, don't let the other team hang around.

However, I 100% agree with Broski that people are over reacting to Eades. He didn't suck last Sunday. He ran out of gas with 2 outs in the 6th inning. Not good, but not terrible. Don't forget he threw 7 shutout innings vs State in his previous start, and the week before, won the SEC regular season championship game at South Carolina.
