Marceaux or Henry on Saturday?

Obivously for a Super, you want to ace first always, so conventional wisdom would say Henry, but is there some consideration for Marceaux, considering Henry probably is still recovering his sharpness.
He gave you 5 innings on 85 pitches in what was his first full start since returning. Meanwhile Marceaux was pulled after 5 on 53 pitches against Stony Brook only because the game was out of hand and there was a potential to bring him back if LSU played Monday. Before that, Marceaux's last 2 starts have taken LSU into the 7th inning.
He gives you that again, hypothetically, on Saturday and you try and save the pen for Henry on the backend of Sunday?

Henry especially with the regional starting on Saturday

You never ever play for tomorrow in a tournament. You pitch your best out of the gate. Fans shouldn’t overthink.

Marceaux and Henry coming back from injury is a good debate for who is LSU's best right now.

Marceaux has better command of his secondary pitches at this point, so I vote for him.

Henry has been more dominant easily

Not in the last 2 weeks since he has been back.

Despite criticism of PM's selection of 1st pitcher in the regional, it appeared to be the correct choice. So I'll leave it up to PM.
I'm optimist. The entire staff is rested and with enough healthy arms for a three game series.

The argument for Marceaux would be that if we waited to to pitch Henry Sunday that would give him an extra day of rest. But, since Henry threw last Saturday, I'm not sure that it's necessary to rest an extra day.

I thought Henry looked better in the regional and against a better team. They both pitched well, so this isn't a knock on Marceaux, but I just thought Henry was on a slightly different level.

Really tough call. I haven't made up my mind yet.
Posted on 6/4/19 at 4:50 pm to Broski
I mean does it really matter in the 2 oo 3 format? It’s pretty clear that those two guys are 1 and 2. Both are Freshmen so it’s not like experience favors one over the other.

You always want to win that first game for confidence and emotional reasons. We're still dealing with 18-21 or 22 year olds here.

They’re going to be the game 1 and 2 starters regardless of order.
Marceaux has been pitching like an ace the past 5 weeks.
I go with Marceaux Saturday because he pitched first in the regionals and had a lower pitch count, but IMO it doesn’t make a world of difference which order they start in.

I think the biggest reason Marceaux went first in the regional is to set the rotation for the Super.

Marceaux.
If you win, then you have Henry on the mound with a ticket to the CWS on the line.
If you lose, then you have Henry on the mound in a game to stay alive.

If he’s still on pitch count. No Henry
