Mainieri doesn't expect to have to pitch Walker this weekend, which is why he let him pitch so long yesterday.
Gilbert, Lange, Poche.
If you don't pitch him this weekend then there's a chance he doesn't get a chance to pitch the following weekend. If LSU makes it to the Supers, the rotation is going to be Lange, Poche, Walker. You don't want Walker's first start in 3 weeks to be in Omaha.

This. For supers, we know it will be Lange-Poche-Walker, and in Omaha Lange is throwing Game 1. So if Walker doesn't throw this weekend, then you kind of hope you take supers in two and he doesn't throw that weekend. You don't want him sitting in the dugout until Omaha.

Exactly.
We have 3 quality starting pitchers, unlike some years in the past. The three of them should start the first three games. You don't plan for an "if necessary" game. We should go 3-0 in this regional.
Can't risk Walker not making a real start for 2.5 weeks.
