Skenes Game 1 in Omaha

Money threw fine last night. If we play defense behind him he likely goes 5 or 6. He's pitching good enough to beat a 4 seed in the regional. We need the bats to come alive early.

I think for us to throw someone like Money game 1 of regional it's gotta be a pretty weak 4 seed who would not be throwing a very good pitcher against us. Can always run into a 4 seed who actually has a good pitcher and if they use that good pitcher it's certainly rolling the dice to not use Skenes/Floyd that game. I think I agree no matter what you save Skenes for a 2/3 seed matchup...but still have to be cognisant of who the 4 seed is throwing game 1. They might not be a very good team, but could have 1 very good pitcher that we may struggle against for 5-6 innings.

I only am more worried about this as our national seeding is dropping it seems and they could pair a 4 seed with us who could bring along a good pitcher or two. For instance if Nicholls gets sent here as a 4 seed and have Jacob Mayers who has a 1.93 ERA on the season with 88 K in 60.2 IP. Are we going to risk someone like Money/Hurd/Little against that?

You don't need 2 pitchers to step up for his prediction.

I'm just going off of what the OP said.
