Either way, still feel confident heading into the weekend. The real issue here is whether the poster who knows what happened will finally spill the beans on Glenn's transgression. Be a good American and let us know.

So you are just assuming that ULL is going to be there Sunday?

It's about burning their depth. Why match our front line pitching verses their weaker arms?
You mean like we are doing against Jackson St...a team that lost 20 games in the SWAC?
Eades/Newman vs. their weaker arms is much better than Newman/Bonvillain or McCune.
The only downside is the fear that we won't beat Jackson St., which I think is ludicrous.

Yeah but Sunday gives you the benefit of knowing "whatever pitching concerns we've got, that team over there...their pitching concerns are worse."
You don't think we'll have that comfort against Jackson St.?

Makes the most sense to go 2-0 and if by some chance Sam Houston or ULL beats us on Sunday, the rag arm they throw out on Monday will likely be pretty terrible. No guarantees, but the odds favor the 2-0 start always.

Who has ULL been hot offensively against? Just because your hot in a minor conference doesnt mean youll be hot against one of the top teams in the country. You cant compare ULL's offense with LSU's. There is no common ground to compare them on.

There's an argument to be made both ways. There is no right and wrong answer.
Whoever pitches Friday needs to pitch well. Same goes for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday if need be. I've got confidence in them all TBH.
The chess match is fun, but at the end of the day, whoever we pitch needs to pitch better than the other teams guy, simple as that.

If LSU's 4 and 5 aren't better than these other teams' 2 3 or certainly 4, then shame on us. You don't want these things happening a day before the "real" post season starts, but this is a minor bug.

God, you're dumb.
If we throw Newman, LSU's chances of winning are 99.99999%
If we throw Eades, LSU's chances of winning are 99.99999%
If we throw SlowFlowPro, LSU's chances of winning are 99.99999%
Nobody thinks LSU is going to lose tomorrow, however if we throw Newman over Eades we will almost assuredly have to go to the bullpen a lot earlier.

I would venture to say that the talent gap b/w LSU's remaining pitchers come Sunday and the rest of the field is even greater than the talent gap b/w LSU's number 1 & 2 and the field's 1/2. That's how much the drop off in their pitching will be. It's a clear advantage all the way through throwing Eades, Nola and then Bonvillian/pen.

Everything is relative. I can tell you with certainty that ULL is more of a threat than Jackson St. And, we are choosing to throw our best pitching against Jackson St.

I don't blame PM sticking to Eades Friday. If we win the first 2 games it's a significant advantage to LSU. Loser bracket is an uphill battle. You need to win three games. That's a lot.
If we lose the first 2 games then we should be embarrassed anyway. PM is pitching Eades to guarantee a win. It's the same pitching Nola on Saturday. It gives us pretty much a 99% chance to win. And yea, I'm pulling that number out my arse but it's probably true. ULL hasn't seen a guy like Nola all year I'm betting. Not even close. Nola pitching on his worst day would probably still be overwhelming.

If LSU cant beat Jackson state with Newman/Bonvillain or McCune LSU doent belong in the NCAA tournament.

Let me ask you this. What are the chances that LSU wins the regional after losing the first game vs winning the first game?

Did LSU belong in the tournament in 2009 when Southern led for most of the game?

No argument from me on that point.

Except not, best pitching would still be against ULL or SHSU.

Well, to be fair, we actually are throwing our "best" pitching against ULL on Saturday.
