30 pitch count cap when it’s likely they’re going in the weekend. 2-3 innings is likely twice that amount
An efficient inning as about 10-12 pitches.

Um no - LSU has had exactly 14 half-innings of less than 12 pitches thus far this year. Sans Skenes, they’ve been averaging just under 17 pitches per, and that number approaches 20 in SEC play. Couple that with Coleman not having been in live game situations for nearly 14 months, 2-3 innings ain’t happening.

I’d imagine they’re gonna warm him up, let him go live for one inning, then shut it down. This is 100pct about conditioning the rest of his body for what lies ahead, not just his left elbow. His body’s reaction tomorrow and Thursday is what they’re monitoring. THAT’S what is going to determine his progress moving towards postseason.

It’s been 14 months. It’s not coming back overnight.
