LSU would not do that now. I think maybe in the old days of the 4 man rotation in the pros. But not with our current pitching coach. I think they did a one inning close on Friday with a start on Sunday a few years ago and got blasted by the national media.

Committee under Mainieri ends up being like untouchable Nolan Cain and relief appearances from Buzzy Haydel and the DoD. I can't wait to see Foster's knuckler.

Arkansas won. I'd say save Nola or put a pitch count on him tomorrow, so that you can use him again on Sunday.

Nola will not pitch twice this weekend under any circumstances.

Pitch Bouman tomorrow!! Save Nola for the single elimination game Saturday.

We will be facing Arkansas's third starter and their hitting is not good.

Throw Bouman and the bench tomorrow. Nola Saturday and Poche again Sunday.

If we beat Arky tomorrow our next game is our Sunday starter, backed by a completely rested bullpen, against some middle reliever and an exhausted Johnny Wholestaff that's muscled through three or four games. Hell yes you pitch NOLA. Even if you weren't worried about the regionals you'd pitch him.

1000% agree.

Although this isn't a bad suggestion, I'm pretty confident CPM will stick to the plan and pitch Nola tomorrow knowing a W cements a regional host and allows Nola extra rest in advance of a Sat. regional start.

We will piece the SEC tourney together as the NCAAs is much more important!

"HOOVER" is not written in giant letters in the LSU player lounge.

Win tomorrow 99% chance you host a regional

Win the whole tourney 5-10% chance for a national seed.


You pitch nola tomorrow no doubt. We could have an entire bullpen ready for a team on their 4th starter.

Since he'll pitch Saturday next week, I'd like to see him pitch Saturday this week. Get him in a normal routine before the regional.

Such a waste vs lowly Arkansas playing their 3rd straight game.

It's at least worth chatting about, holding him to Ole Miss or Vandy game on Saturday.

He'll be pitching on Friday in lafayette if we lose to Ark.

We don't need to hold him, if we win OM and Vandy won't have shite left to throw.

I believe we have to throw Nola tomorrow, bouman Saturday, then if we get in the championship, CUNE would take the mound

Remember how we fricked around with that swac team and almost lost?

It would be dumb as shite to underestimate any team in the sec tourney. If we win tomorrow, we host a regional for sure.

Gotta go Nola tomorrow. In my mind, the win cements hosting a regional. At this point, hosting is the immediate goal, and Nola is the best chance of reaching it.

It depends who you get paired with, losing the first game of a regional is a death sentence. There are some pretty stout 3 seeds in the tourney who would throw their Ace v us.

Obviously as a host you get a auto bid team or some crap and you can start whomever.
