In 1 scenario we make the finals and in the other we do not. But more importantly if we did save Skenes we would still need to win 1 game with out him, so in your scenario we lose the finals to Florida either way

No, they don't. They also don't understand that the season is over if we lose tonight. Skenes gives you the best bet. That is who will be on the mound.
Exactly! You can't win it all if you don't get to the finals!

Pro pitchers pitch on 4 days rest so Skenes will be fine. It was not many years ago pitchers threw every 4 days. They threw for years with 3 days rest. He will be fine probably throw 7 innings.
Not up to you. Not up to me. It’s up to CJJ.
And I think CJJ’s first concern is Skenes’s future career and he’s not taking any chances on PS getting injured by throwing him early.
We’ll all find out soon enough but NC or not, I don’t think you see Skenes until Saturday assuming we win tonight. And it has nothing to do with strategy or tactics. It has everything to do with PS’s future career.

Not immediately, you dip shite.
New pitchers are conditioned to pitch on fewer days rest SLOWLY. A fresh out of college pitcher who is pitching on 7 days rest won't IMMEDIATELY get thrown into a short rotation. How freaking stupid would that be? Ruin a new arm that you just paid huge bonus bucks for? Just think it through just for once in your life.
And believe it or not his future career is way more important right now.

1) Making the finals is better than making the semis NO MATTER WHAT
2) younger players and the coach get more experience making their way thru the tournament.
and the most important reason why we want to win tonight...
3) AT LEAST two more games I get to watch this team play.

Right. Skenes has at most around 120 pitches left to throw in an LSU uniform, one way or another. Its not unreasonable to want more of those allocated to Florida than to Wake Forest.
A Skenes complete game or nearly complete game on Saturday likely means a national championship.
It's not clear that Skenes is even physically able to go a complete game today, and the more he contributes today the less he can contribute later.
I'm just not sure why people think its a no-brainer for Skenes today but wasn't a no-brainer yesterday...the same "do-or-die" reasoning applied yesterday, and at least yesterday you'd leave him 4 days rest before Game 3.

When the media was having a melt about Skenes throwing 124 pitches a couple of weeks ago, I thought about the time Nolan Ryan threw 235 pitches in a game then came back 3 days later and pitched 6 innings.

If you save Skenes for Game 1, you're giving Floyd/Ack, etc. an extra day of rest as well and therefore more likely to win Game 2. I don't think there's really any argument to the contrary. You're either content to beat Wake and increase your chances of a loss to Florida in the finals, or you roll the dice, ask your guys to dig deep, and put yourself in the best possible position for a championship run.

How old was Ryan when he did that and how many years had he been pitching in MLB?
Jesus, you people have no contact with reality at all, do you?

Everyone that says don’t throw Skenes tonight then who would you start and who would you go to in relief?
LSU doesn’t have much left in the way of pitching.

Sigh. No. He wouldn’t. Not for a couple years. And even then it’s usually just the top 2 or 3 starters. And they only do it for about 10-20% of their starts.

Can Scenes pinch hit for Thompson during rest days? Asking for a friend. :)

I liked the way you got “rest” to do double duty.

He better get used to that but he is not used to it yet.

This is your problem right here. It’s not a matter of “being content” to beat just Wake If you don’t beat Wake, the seasons is over, that’s it. So you are right there is no argument, you have to get there first then get your guys to dig deep
