re: Should JJ Have Let Skenes Get The Last Out?

Everyone but some LSU fans would have ripped Johnson apart for putting Skenes in a game on 3 days rest if we were up by 10-14 runs (8th/9th). IT would be totally pointless and a completely unnecessary risk.
Jay is here to win games and look after his players and balance that. He's not going to unnecessarily risk a guy in a game thats been long decided.
If it was a 3 or 4 run lead, it's a different story and very justifiable to go to your ace on short rest in a winner take all game.

Did you listen to JJ's postgame regarding this. He would of gone in if it was a 5 run or less lead and we was never going to start bc he said he was slated to go maybe 30 pitches and when he would of got pulled it would of emotionally lifted Florida so he was going to use him possibly as a closer if the situation dictated and thank goodness we didn't have to see him. It's more impressive to say we won the series without him.
