Insider: @CollegeBaseCNT is hearing that Thatcher Hurd will get the nod for LSU tonight. Meaning if we see Paul Skenes, it will be out of the bullpen.

I’ll believe it when I see it when the game starts.

I learned after Katrina, whenever someone made a statement like this, it’s usually BS.

Hurd gets the Tigers 2 times through the lineup. Skenes can come in and get you the rest....or really close.

Bottom line is the bats will have to get going. Cag can throw gas but is all over the place. and when you get people on base, got to get them in.

I love Jay Johnson, but he is crazy if he has not had Skip, or Ryan Theriot, or even Joey Burrow talk to the team.

If this is true the arse hurt on this board is going to be at an all time high level for another correct decision from JJ (and Skenes, his family, and his future pro team).

It will be worse than delaying game for Skenes start in the SR which was also the right decision.

Today’s wind does not scare me. I’m on record about 1000 times before the series saying I was worried about Waldrep vs pen if the wind was blowing out.

Waldrep sucked but nobody knew it would be 30 frigging mph to straight away center.

We can smash right field.
Cags can be wild.

The relievers we will see today threw a bunch in the 11 inning game.

This is evenly matched, and is gonna come down to who has the biggest nads.

I’ma go with LSU on that one, with Skenes closing out a storybook season in relief today.

Unless we stop leaving runners on base and produce timely hitting and the bottom of the lineup after Cade actually produces, its not going to matter...

Go crooked in the top of the first.

Take the pressure off the pitcher and allow them to work without having to be perfect.

Hurd is starting. Everyone settle in on it and LFG.

I think that is a good. If Hurd can hold them scoreless and we can pitch some runs across. It will be a real shock to Florida in later innings having to adjust to a fresher Skenes.

If this is true, BIG MISTAKE! O well. We needed Skenes to shut FL down early. Not good.

If Skenes is "ready" and wants to pitch for whatever pitch count Jay would agree to, then you fricking start him. Do not wait and hope we don't end up needing him.
If Jay trusts Skenes to throw 40 pitches, then let him throw the first 40

This makes no since to me. The only reason to have him come out the bull pen is to preserve a lead however if Hurd falters and we fall behind it does no good to bring in Skenes. Play to win. If they get ahead against Skenes at least we gave it our best shot. Just my opinion.
