Do you agree with Paul on pulling Nola to save for regionals?

While winning the SEC tourney might be good, the tourney doesn't get you to Omaha. Then again you could be sacrificing your top 8 seed, but I think we are in the driver seat for a Super Regional site.

He didn't pull him to "save" him for the Regionals. He would have been able to pitch next Friday regardless of how much he threw yesterday. He pulled him because he threw 108 pitches through 7 innings.

Fine to not burn up Nola but I was wondering why he didn't bring Cotton in to start the 8th? Let him go 2 innings and see if we could get a run.

I am guessing he wanted to give others a chance to step up in a pressure situation. Unfortunately they failed.

National seed is a lock so I think that's why PM didn't try harder to win that game.

The tournament is important. SEC titles are important, I'm sick and tired of people saying they aren't.

Our bullpen has been pretty damn good all season, there was no reason to think we would end up falling apart when Nola came out last night.

Manieri was not sacrificing that game by any means, otherwise he wouldn't have pitched Nola at all.

he threw 110 pitches. In his complete games he threw less. Definitely a smart move.

Bro, 108 pitched in 7 innings....

And you think we are at risk of losing a national seed? We could have been 0-2 and still sit at #4.

Yes I agree. SEC tournament means nothing. It's fun to win it, but for a team like LSU and Vanderbilt, it's really just great practice for the regional and super regional.

... 108 pitches , 7 innings .. absolutely pull the guy.. correct move..
.. 1-1 game , Nola did all he could do .. now , LSU getting only 1 run since 1st inning of game 1 against 'Bama - thats 17 innings and only 1 run - that is a concern . Deja vu to getting just 2 runs in 18 innings against USCe at the Box .. Tiger have a little habit of going VERY long stretches without scoring with high runner LOB ... makes me nervous , true dat, cher ...
