Teams don't get to Omaha and then try something that they haven't done throughout the year. If Matty Ott was going to move to the starting rotation, it would happen during the regular season. Now maybe in post-season play if LSU have to play about 3 games in 2 days, it's possible that by that point he may need to start a game.

But let's say Matty Ott starts a game in Omaha, there is no way he goes 9 innings. So with the season on the line in the 8th and 9th innings, who do you pull out of the bullpen to get the last 6 outs?

Well...maybe we dont even get that chance if we have to start JB and he walks every other batter and gives up 5 or 6 early runs. Id be comfortable with Ross coming in to close things out. He has great stuff and throws strikes. That's all you can ask for.

If its for an inning or two, and is a need, I wouldn't mind Ranaudo coming in to finish it, or Ross

Arkansas tried it in game 2 vs LSU last year.. started their closer after Keuchel had to pitch extra innings vs Virginia to advance.. I don't remember exactly, but I don't know if their closer even made it past the first inning.
