Still would guess Labas

Nope

I think they will go with Bush or Gilbert
60% Bush
20% Gilbert
10% Labas

Matt was saying the Paul said something to the like he didn't think Labas was was ready to take on SEC hitting because his velocity wasn't all the way back yet. Maybe if we win first 2 games he will give him a shot anyway? I'm just spit balling really.

quote:

quote: Mainieri said that hooking Labas after just 63 pitches was more about wanting to get some key relievers work than saving his arm for a potential start on Sunday.

quote: If LSU was going to pick a third starter right now, the top choice would actually be lefty Nick Bush. He’s a capable veteran with a three-pitch mix who can control opposing running games, but the problem is he’s established himself so well as LSU’s setup man ahead of closer Austin Bain.

quote: The coach didn’t portray it as a return to the Johnny Wholestaff approach that LSU used on Sundays in years past, though a deep bullpen certainly allows the possibility. Instead LSU will decide how to handle game threes on a week-by-week basis.

Mainieri even mentioned the possibility that Gilbert could start this Sunday if LSU doesn’t need him in the first two games, but he’s not committing to anyone as a starter right now besides Hess and Hilliard.

Yep. That's what Matt was reading from on AFR the other day. Good stuff.

I’m out on a limb and saying Cam gets the start. He looked real solid last week.

Guess we’ll see on Sunday

shite, if Cam can reproduce what he did Friday, LSU would have an incredible weekend rotation. Sanders was simply phenomenal.

Getting Cam and AJ online would give us one hell of a starting four. That coupled with our pen could make for an interesting back half of the season!!!

If Sanders is warming up in the bullpen now, I would think that prolly means no start on Sunday. Obviously not a certainty though.

Paul wants his weekend starters to be consistent and reliable. Sanders isn’t at that point yet.
