Pretty smart..
Going against LSU and Skenes is almost certainly a loss..if you are trying to win two out of 3.. it’s pretty smart I was wondering when teams would do this.. it’s been done in the past

They still didn't expect to be down 10 runs after 2 innings.

Not smart. LSU’s weakness is their bullpen. Now we’ll either run rule them and not use anyone, or finish the game and not use anyone of consequence to close it out. Now we’ll have all of our bullpen arms for the next two games.

You can throw in intentionally walking Crews in the first to give White an extra RBI while we’re talking idiocy. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it.

And if we can’t match our run production tonight the next two games, we may be in trouble. The way Kentucky is hitting Skenes doesn’t bode well for the rest of our staff.

They started a pen guy because they’re coming off a short week. I guess they didn’t want to mess with their starter’s routine? I don’t know what their schedule looks like next week, but we didn’t have much of a choice to move our guys up a day when we did it because we had several weeks of T,F,S games.

It’s what Jay did last week after the lightning delay, and every moron in South Carolina was beating his chest because they pummeled a bunch of scrubs.

Part of it was due to injuries as well:

quote:

Nick Mingione on the decision to start Zach Hise tonight: "With the Thursday-Friday-Saturday series, and Logan Martin and (Darren Williams) coming off injuries, we didn't want to push them up. Zach's a guy that has starting experience, a guy that's thrown in SEC games before and he'd been throwing the ball well for us."

Paul tried to save pitchers in the world series championship games against Florida. It didn't work out that well for the team.

I mean Teams have beaten us Game one

We also haven’t last a Game 2 this year.

Idk why they would start a reliever their Sunday starter isn’t good enough to pant on this strateg.

Also Logan Martin hasn’t gone past 2 inning all season and they pitched like 20 guys tonight.

Only having to use Cooper and him throwing like 20

They also threw 3 of their 7 lefties. And only maybe 5 of them have pitched at all.

Logan their game 2 gig hasn’t pitched over 2 innings in SEC play and when he has pitched over 2 innings in OOC play he gave up a lot of runs.

Basically the 2 guys who have been splitting Friday starts are not pitching well in SEC play against a weaker slate than Floyd has faced.

Don’t know why all the upvotes, it was a desperate gamble that reeks of insecurity. Shows that LSU is already up in their dome.
