big mistake... going to wreck Poche's mentality IMO


There are too few games left to worry about that now. Poche is not coming back next season. So as harsh as it is to say, his mentality as a result of such a move is immaterial to the lone goal...wining the CWS. If LSU can win the first two games it's going to be tough for someone to keep them from getting to the championship series.

Game 2 is either going to give LSU a shot to seemingly lock up a spot in the championship series OR battle to save their season. Poche hasn't looked good in his two postseason starts against weaker line ups than what he will see in Omaha. If PM doesn't trust him, now is not the time to hope he figures it out.

Major kudos to CPM if he does in fact make the call to pitch Walker in game 2. At this point, he seems to be our second best pitcher, but it still has to be a difficult decision to not start Poche.

He will still be in a lose/lose situation with some of his critics here though. If LSU doesn't win, there will be 20 threads saying that he should have started Poche.

The comment about arm soreness makes me a bit uneasy though.
