I know we gotta win tonight, but do you keep Skenes under 76 pitches and hope Hurd can come in and keep a lead...if we have one.

Based on pitch count rules, if Skenes throws over 76 he's out til Monday.

There are some thresholds set for college baseball pitchers mentioned below:

Less than 25 pitches - No Rest Days
25 - 51 pitches - One Day Rest
51-76 pitches - Two Days Rest
76-110 pitches - Three Days Rest

You pitch him what he needs to win. You hope we don’t need him against Florida. At worst he pitches Monday

You get as much out of him as he can give for as long as you need him.

If we’re up 7 runs then yea we might keep his pitch count low.

If it’s a one run game we’re riding him as far as he can take us.

You worry about the finals when you get there.

Can you post a link to the source for these pitch count rules? I keep seeing them hard coded and with Skenes over 120 pitches a few times I am wondering when the NCAA is going to lower the boom.

If these are actual rules no one enforces it.

I’m pretty sure Cooper threw more than 25 pitches Tuesday and then pitched last night.

There aren't pitch count rules in college baseball.

Bottom line, is we need the bats to show up big tonight. If we can hold Skenes to about 80 pitches which for him is around 6 innings on average and we can go up 4-5 runs then we should be able to rely on our bullpen to finish the job.

The best part is we’ll be going up against a RHP which gives us a better chance at getting some runners across.

The Washington post is going to cry and I am fricking here for it. They can’t handle him being a complete alpha who wants the ball.

Where are you getting pitch count numbers?

Tanner Hall threw 123 pitches in the first game for So. Miss in the regional against Samford. Came back 3 days later and pitched for 30 against Pennsylvania

These aren't rules, they're guidelines. Some pitchers can come back faster, some not as fast. Skenes has such good mechanics, I would put him on the faster route because he doesn't appear to put the tremendous torque on his elbow many pitchers do.

It still ultimately depends on how his arm feels when he throws today and no matter how good he feels, he shouldn't throw over about 75 pitches.

I mean at the end of the day he's about to be an MLB pitcher anyway and their typical rest period is 4 days which is what he's on now. So it's not like this is something just completely out of the ordinary. I think 80-100 pitches would be fine which is basically what you get out of MLB starters these days on the same rest.

You hope we go up big early and are able to get him out sooner than later.

save him for the last three innings, bring him in earlier if it's needed, then hopefully all day saturday?

he should be good to go

If we have a big lead like 4+ runs? Sure can cut his outing short. But if its 3 or less you ride him as long as he can go and then turn it over to Hurd.

It's a player by player thing. Some players can take a beating and others can't. Obviously you don't want to ruin his arm but he's shown time and time again that he's a workhorse. I would love to have an early lead so Skenes can rest.
