re: There’s no negative to not starting Skenes

Why are you bringing him in after they score five runs? Whoever starts has a SHORT leash.

This is what people are missing. If you start someone else and it goes to shite quick, ok bring him in before damage is done and have him shut them down.

so you just leave skenes warming up and/or hot all game? that isn't how it works. If it goes to shite quick, it stays shite until the next pitcher is ready. WF pitcher has an exceptional ERA too. Skenes can prevent more runs, but can't take runs off the board. You don't want to fall behind with Lowder on the mound. You're worried about Florida, but LSU isn't playing Florida without a win tonight. It really is simple. Skenes should start tonight if it's determined he is ready.
