Which bullpen arms do you trust most going into next week?

Obviously everyone will have Evans #1 but has anything changed beyond that? I think Williams gained some ground but I'd still have Shores #2. I'm hoping Sunday was just an off night for him due to a rushed warmup. Schmidt had a good outing. Im listing him at the bottom since it was one inning and low pressure but im hopeful we can get him back in this weekend and give him a chance to move up the list. Mayers, Rizy and Primeaux all had a good outing but followed it up with a shite outing when asked to pitch for the 2nd time in a weekend. None of them should be needed for 2 appearances this weekend so im not completely down on them. Unfortunately Cowan still hasn't returned to form.
Evans
Shores
Williams
Noot
Cowan
Mayers
Rizy
Primeaux
Schmidt

Anyone other than Anderson, Eyanson or Evans on the mound and I'm going to be uncomfortable. Shores and Cowan are still the next two, but Williams looked pretty good Sunday.
ETA: The concerning thing with Cowan is no one is confused by his changeup anymore, which is the pitch that made him so effective. They know he's throwing it more often than not and they are just sitting on it now. No more swinging through it and no more chasing it when it's down.

Need to have Evans as a third starter.

Did he? He ended up giving up no runs, but it was about as ugly of a scoreless inning as you can have.

If I need long relief and holding the team to a minimal score:
-Evans
-Noot
-Williams
If I need a shutdown inning or “4 outs” by the curry standard:
-Evans (both categories)
-Cowan
-Shores
-Mayers
The other guys that only need to be used in lopsided games to save our high leverage arms:
-Rizy
-Primeaux
-Schmidt
-Ware
-Fontenot
-Evans
-Noot
-Williams

Maybe Yeskie shouldn’t be so predictable at calling pitches.

If LSU makes it to Omaha I think Fontenot may be that out of nowhere X factor that comes in a wins a game for them. He will fill up the strike zone in a pitchers park.

Maybe I'm misremembering but I thought he got the leadoff man out and then there was a dropped 3rd strike somewhere in there that allowed a baserunner, think he walked a guy but settled back in and got another strikeout to end the inning. In a postseason game vs a good DBU lineup that's a good outing for a guy who has struggled in big games

I was surprised that we didn't use him this weekend. He had some good outings to end the season.

Depends on what is needed. Am I looking for 1 out to get out of the inning with 2 guys on base or am I looking for someone to stretch out 2-3 innings? In general I'm not far off from your list though.
Posted on 6/3/25 at 11:20 am to Yeti_Chaser
Not 1
Posted on 6/3/25 at 11:22 am to Yeti_Chaser
Fontenot
Posted on 6/3/25 at 11:27 am to Yeti_Chaser
Williams pitched okay, but he got behind hitters alot, i cant imagine his strike percentage was too high sunday night.
For me its:
Evans
Shores
Noot
Rizy
Mayers
Williams
Cowan
Fontenot
Schmidt
Primeaux
A dropoff

62% which was his highest strike % in a game with more than 9 pitches since March 18th. (He threw 6/9 strikes on April 26). His season strike % is 56% so it's an improvement

We have Hope at this point. Not trust.

Based on his last 3 SEC appearances. I would give Fontenot a shot in this group. They were all short, but 2 were getting out of jams others fricked their way into and 1 was closing a game.

He's looked better and better as the season has progressed.

I don't think Cowan should not see the ball again unless it a situational setup and should be one or 2 batters
