Why not give him a extra day? If he's not ready and you lose game 1 you are fricked.

Either Monday or Tuesday we'd have to go Wholestaff... steal game 1 and we're a lock

Here is the question.

What rotation gives us the best chance to put the ball in Langes hand in game 3? If we lose game 1 with Poche on mound it's probably over in game 2. So give him the extra day and put him out there at 100%.

We could win game 1 with Peterson and Bain who knows? The bats are alive!

Is everyone afraid to question the decision not to start Poche on Monday and then start Lange on Tuesday with three full days of rest for this one-time, special occasion? This used to be very common.

I know I am going to be pissed if we go two and out without our best pitcher ever setting foot on the mound.

Screw this line of thinking. Poche has great shot to put Florida away in game 2?or hand off to Lange in game 3.

You would be playing him against uf's other ace. If you lose, with poche on 4 days rest mind you, we are screwed. I'm all for putting our best against thiers but taking the short rest in account I like the move by pm. As hot as we have been, if we somehow someway take game 1, with both poche and lange in our back pocket...........we will be in great shape.

I'm sure Lange and Poche would do whatever CPM asks and be okay with it but it still might not be the best move for the team. I'm talking about moving the rotation up Poche game 1 and Lange game 2 it might hurt our chances because its not a sound decision if they lack proper rest?

No people aren't afraid to ask, but they also aren't dumb enough to think we'd start a 1st round pick on 3 days rest right before he begins his pro career. Poche on Monday would be slightly more understandable but either way we're not throwing Lange on 3 days rest, so we need to use Jack Wholestaff at some point anyway. May as well give Poche another day to rest.

This isn't about fear. This is about playing the odds, without the advantage of our 3rd starter. If we had Walker available, he'd be the guy on Monday.

As it stands, JWS, Poche, and Lange is the right way to go.

If we take game one, and have a multi-run lead late in game 2, we have the option of going to Lange out of the bullpen to close out a championship

We have to go whole staff in either game 1 or 2. We dont have great odds in that game, so I like this approach with rr in game 1. poche gets another day of rest this way. It's really better for lsu if fla throws their best at us Monday. Then you get the match ups you want in games 2 and 3. As another poster mentioned, if we steal game 1, turn out the lights.

I think that the key is to win one of the first 2 games without using Hess, then we have Lange with 5 days rest, Gilbert with 4 and fresh Hess. I like our chances.

Sure. And why not bring in Walker to pitch? He's probably faking it!

Smoking used to be endorsed by doctors doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. Things change as you learn what things like that can do to people long term. CPM would be chastised by Major league reporters and some clubs for overusing his pitcher. That's not a good look for recruiting purposes.
