I would have thought they would at least get to go through the order one time.

Yeah and we then had to overextend our ace on 2 days rest. Yes it worked out but we've yet to see what if any lingering effects there are.

And did you know he’s been battling an injury? Evidently you didn’t but you still seemed pissed off at the coaches. Maybe they actually know more than a message board

He built his resume for that by being the midweek starter against inferior opponents. He was not good in SEC play. Also not sure if you remember but LSU won 4 of those 5 games.

What injury? How would anyone know if it’s not shared or asked about?

Maybe he got the nod because he played two positions?

Why don't we let the media run our team? Is that what you are suggesting? I think our coaches know better than them, and better than you, who should be pitching.

I don’t feel that coaches need to publish every injury. He wasn’t available for the SEC tournament

Hellmers average on the season was 2.3 innings and he hadn’t started in 21 days. I really like Hellmers, but I would imagine the coaches felt that Oregon would eventually get to him and so he was just used to get to the back end of the pen in Edwards, Marceaux, and Fontenot.

Id really like to know the reasoning behind pulling him so early, i feel like he was starting to find his groove

If Woody doesn’t hold Paul accountable for this then we will. This is unacceptable.

It would be one thing if he got taken out because he was struggling, but Hellmers was pitching really well


Thankfully it didn't come back to bite us, but if that game had gone, say, 12-14 innings, not running Hellmers another 2-3 would have been disastrous. Hellmers had multiple 7 inning games in HS.

It’s not a bitch thread. He has pitched well for us and he should have pitched more, regardless if he was deserving of the list or not


His midweek efforts were way better than his SEC efforts.

It was his bullpen day. He was on a pitch count.

A message board, sure, but THIS message board?
