re: Ty Floyd

There is an argument for Floyd against Tulane that I could listen to:

I think Floyd is a more proven commodity than Hurd. Less variance in his outings than Hurd’s.

If Floyd pitches Friday he could possibly be available for a few outs on Monday if needed. But also, if you look ahead fo the Super Regionals, you could draw the Friday-Sunday Super Regional dates. You might already have to pitch Skenes on one day short rest in game 1 of a Super (since he will throw the Saturday game of this regional) and if Floyd doesn’t pitch until Sunday, he could also be pitching on one day short rest in the Supers.

So it Floyd starts against Tulane, he would be on full rest next weekend for the Supers, and also could be a choice to pitch game 1 of a Super so that Skenes could get his full rest before his start.


Just a thought, I would not necessarily pitch Floyd on Friday, but there are a lot of factors to consider.
