re: Starting Poche was the correct decision, even in hindsight

It takes at minimum 3 victories. Nothing wrong with the strategy Paul used.

This would all be moot if Poche could throw to first, Hale can catch, and we could hit the ball better.
Poche has looked great in his last two outings, TCU runs a lot and having a lefty helps negate that. Nothing wrong with the decision, especially considering they aren't going to pitch Lange without a good 6 days rest. This is something that should help us in recruiting top flight pitchers to come to LSU instead of going to the minors.
