Do you understand how this tournament works? Losing game 1 gives you a much tougher road but you can and teams have come out if. If you lose game 3 from the winners bracket, you force a 4th deciding game, with all the pressure on you AND you’ve used all your top pitchers.
I think that is a reasonable argument against using Skenes or even Floyd in Game 1, but that’s not really what this poster is saying. He’s saying they need to use one of their top 3 pitchers. I agree with that position. Their best path through regional is to go 3-0. The best way to do that is throwing Hurd, then Skenes, then Floyd. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to save Hurd for an “if necessary” 4th game. The only argument for using Coleman or someone else is if you think the best use for Hurd is to use him for 1-2 IP each game to finish out for Skenes and Floyd.

For game 1 it’s Coleman or Hurd people are arguing for Floyd which makes no sense. The goal is to win the regional not avoid “embarrassment” or lose a game to a 4.
