Those with 20-20 hindsight were quick to blast him last week for starting McCune on Sunday, so isn't it only fair to give credit for starting Glenn last night, since it turned out well?

If he had started him on Sunday, he wouldn't have been ready for Thursday. So the people that complained about not starting him on Sunday would contradict themselves by saying it was a good move to start him on Thursday.

But it's not like LSU fans have ever contradicted themselves on this board before.

The only reason he started him last night was because of the heat he got from ranters.

Risky putting your number three up against the opponents ace but it paid dividends.

CPM makes excellent pregame decisions and has done so throughout his career at LSU.

and he would have thrown Nola, Eades, Glenn in regular rotation and never even mentioned the rain and 1 extra day rest

Bingo


It was a dumb mistake to start McCune last Sunday, bottom line. Mainieri certainly makes some good calls, this was not one of them.

I like CPM so don't take this as bashing ....

However, I struggle with CPMs timing on making the call to the pen. He was late last night and he's late a lot. If we don't get 2 hits to start the B8 the game could have been differnet.

That said, the same decision will be inconsequential tonight. Nola rolls.

a lot of people didnt like the move after glenn having such a good outing. he didnt deserve to lose his spot after having one of his best outings of the year. and those thoughts were had before mccune's sunday performance.

you thought he was late last night? i disagree. glenn had given up a 2 out single. it was the first hit since the 1st inning if you take away the bunt singles. and his pitch count was under 100. i dont think it was late at all.

As I recall, we got 2 hits to start the bottom of the 8th!
