Do you designate Hurd as the Sunday guy or do keep him in the pen?

you can't go wrong with either/or, but I would say the only con about Coleman getting the nod for Sunday is his pitch count restriction.

Sounds like he’s throwing game 1 of the regional. In the post game interview they were asking Hurd about the early start time, and jokingly asked jay if he’ll keep him on an early schedule because of his performance today. Jay jokingly responded they’ll be asking for game 1 of the regional to be 9:30 am start

If Johnson thinks Hurd can duplicate his performance. He's 100% your Game 1 starter in the Regional. Coleman could be valuable in the Regional if LSU's forced into an elimination game.

I don’t understand the question. 3 game weekend series are over.

He's likely going to start game 1 of the regional, although I think we could get away with a Money start and save Hurd for a possible 4th game start or as backend to Floyd.

For the Supers, I think, whether we're up 1-0 in the series or facing elimination, we may see him come in to close out a close game. If for whatever reason we don't use him through 2 games, he'd start game 3 if it comes to that.

Start him in the regional
Use him out of the pen in the super.

I think we will all be very disappointed if LSU doesn't have at least one more weekend series left, and hopefully 2 more 3 game series to be played in all

Leave him in the pen. Coleman is much more consistent. Hurd has had a couple of awesome outings but he did that earlier in the year than imploded.

Coleman's pitch count is being ramped up.

Hurd is now the first guy out of the pen if you need multiple innings though. That used to be Griffin Herrinf

Listening to Jay, he's brought up multiple times that Hurd has been great in 7/8 recent appearances. He has a bunch of confidence in Hurd right now to start regional game 1 and save Skenes and Floyd for the next 2. Hurd pitching well could change everything for this team.

Consistent in that he can only go 3 innings, albeit solid, and then turns it over to a bullpen that consistently blows it.

I would expect he starts the first game of the Regionals. If he doesn't then I would expect he pitches a do or die game 4. But I would wager the most likely scenario is Hurd, Skenes, Floyd for the Regionals. And then the Super Regionals it would be Skenes, Floyd, Hurd/Coleman.

Coleman can only go 3 innings max four. Hurd is gaining confidence and has thrown great the last third of the season. I think Jay knows what he is doing here.

If Jay truly is sold on Hurd’s consistency, I would think he would prefer to keep him in the pen to close out games rather than start him against a 4 seed that we will probably score double digit runs against. Now if we pull a 4 seed with a legit quality starter, then maybe he starts Hurd.

After his last two outings, he is a starter.

Someone doesn't know what a Super Regional is.


Regardless, there are third games and that's the overall point.

Comments that Jay made and also him starting Hurd today suggests that with the outing Hurd showed lately, he will likely start game 1 of the regional.

You hope to see guys like Collins, Guidry, and Cooper have some good bullpen outings this weekend and also an appearance by Money similar to Ack today where he can come in and give you innings with a lead minimizing the runs scored to get you to a win.

That sounds great in theory, but I'm not sure you can risk pitching someone else and putting it into the bullpen's hands if Hurd is throwing this well. Post season play is a different game.
