re: Who Starts Game #1: Hess or Gilbert?

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.
