These three top 16 seeds lost and have a tough road.
A few others barely won baseball this time of year it’s the hot teams that are scary . Tulane was hot.
Win and advance.

Why is it so hard to understand that the correct tournament strategy isn't dependent on an individual game result?

If a qb throws a touchdown into triple coverage because it was tipped and lucked into a td, would you post a thread talking about how it was a great decision? Bad decisions sometimes have a good immediate result.

Probably not. Auburn and Coastal’s starters pitched great. Coastal’s starter had a 6 inning no hitter and they took him out.

LSU has fallen as a program if they justify decisions based on what mighty Auburn, Coastal Carolina, and Oklahoma State do. Plus starting pitching didn’t lose those games for those teams.

Dude Coastal was up 8-0 and Rider scored 9 runs in the 7th off their bullpen.

Auburn went against the IVY league pitcher of the year, then couldn’t capitalize on the pen. Kid from Penn was dealing.

I’ll give you Okie State.

So 1/16

Another bad example from someone who probably doesn’t follow college baseball until June.

I do.

We’ll never know but I think we still could’ve beat Tulane.
We’ll see what Oregon St does tonight.

Ell must be a genius to figure out that every single 4 seed in the field won their conference tournament.

It’s amazing how many people blindly accept the talking points without doing a little thinking about them.

Tulane was 19-40. First 40 loss team ever in the tournament. You don't make decisions in hindsight, you make decisions based off of sound logic by playing the percentages. You live with whatever result comes of that.

You should not lose to a 19-40 team, period. If you're not setting yourself up with the best chance of winning the regional, because you're scared of losing game 1 to a bad team, then you might as well not show up.

None of this means we can't or won't win tonight. That isn't the point. We had a far greater chance to win tonight with Skenes, is the point. If you had lost without Skenes yesterday, if that's the hypothetical you want to play, then how much worse are our chances of winning today without him? This is how you evaluate and make a decision. Anything more than that, and you are overthinking it.

If we can’t beat Tulane with our 3rd pitcher we don’t deserve anything

To me that is the exact reason to start your ace. I don’t see how you claim that is check mark for the “sit your ace group”

Are we talking about starting our ace vs the ivy league pitcher of the year for a 33-14 team or some average pitcher from a 40 loss team?
