This is so dumb. Why would you concede any game from now on out? It doesn't matter if it's a 3 game series. Lsu has lost a couple of games that AE has started. Anything can happen at this point or any point really.

If Eyanson doesn’t start game 2 he will certainly start game 3 and I want Evans ready to go to close it.

This was in the event that Evans had a two inning close in game one. I would not risk Evans two days in a row when he has not demonstrated that ability. If Evans closes game one there is one, and only one comprehensive 9 inning solution left for LSU, and that is Eyanson and Evans in game three.

However, if we get lucky, and Cowan takes a lead into the fourth inning, there is your comprehensive solution. You come in with Eyanson with six innings to go and a lead, and with WVA running out of first line pitching.

Y'all have lost your minds.

Eyanson pitches game 2 so you don't risk having to play a third game.



If we win game 1, I disagree.

I don't see any additional risk of starting Eyanson (more rested) in game 3 vs. game 2. In fact, it's less risk.

Now, if we were to lose game 1, obviously you have to start Eyanson in game 2.

Concede a game? What the hell are you talking about. You aren't conceding a game. You are deciding to pitch the guys you'd have to start in game 3 anyway.

The reason you'd do it is obvious. Eyanson pitched on Monday after pitching a complete game on Friday. Giving him the rest would help.

Why is Anderson out? If he’s given up 1 run should still be decent pitch count

You aren't risking Eyanson in a relief role on Saturday with a lead in the fourth inning.

Shores is getting way too much hate for one bad outing where his warmup was rushed. He's been good the last month or so. Also yall are forgetting that Evans threw 109 pitches on Monday after not having pitched for over 2 weeks. I'm gonna guess that Evans won't be ready to be as effective on Saturday but that's what the coaches get paid the big bucks to guess correctly

Concede means to admit or accept the truth or existence of something, usually in an unwilling way. It can also mean to admit that you have been defeated and stop trying to win


Have you seen us win comfortably in any game that KA or AE don't start in?

You would essentially be saying i don't mind losing game two so we can save one of our aces for game 3. That's dumb as frick and any coach with a brain would never do that. AE will have had plenty of rest to pitch on Sunday in game 2. This is a 3 game series where you try not to make it to the third game.

This shows how absolutely dumb you are. Nobody in the field wants to go to a game 3

Well I’m assuming I can’t jump in a time machine and bring back Mariano Rivera in his prime, so I’ll say Evans.

You have to trust Eyanson and the bats to make it two straight.

Exactly. These clowns saying to start Eyanson in game 3 if you win game 1 are the epitome of bandwagon retards that know nothing about college baseball or the tourney format

He's out the game. Could be any reason he's out but he's out.

Who you going to?

Need more info for a final decision....like what part of the line-up is due up. Top of the order may dictate a higher credentialed pitcher. Middle to bottom of the order may allow a lesser pick, at least for one inning.



There is no more info. Anderson is out the game. Who you going to?

I don't think it matters where they are in the lineup we need 6 outs who you going to?

Leave Anderson in.

Why take him out in that situation? I imagine his pitch count would be below average.



He is out the game for whatever reason. Pitch count, hurt, dehydrated, has to take a dump. Who are you going with?

This is blatantly illogical.

You would essentially be saying we should pitch a guy on short rest and who was overworked the previous week because you can't logically understand that the order of events isn't important.

The chances of losing game 2 without Eyanson aren't any different than the chances of losing game 3 without Eyanson.

You are fooling yourself into believing you have a better chance of winning by pitching Eyanson on Sun and everyone else on Monday than vice versa.

In reality, you are giving yourself less of a chance because Eyanson would be on more rest Monday and its needed...you'd probably have a more rested Evans as well...and you'd be facing a lesser starting pitcher on Monday than you would on Sunday.

...as opposed to what...not going to a game 3? Congrats genius.

That's as dumb of a statement as me saying, nobody in the field would want to go to game 3 without a viable starter vs. their rested #2.

A logical view of the situation would be asking yourself which scenario gives you the best chance of advancing. I can promise you that your assumption that it's always the first of two games isn't always true.

For 6 outs Evans.

Game 2 you hope Eyenson goes deep and with a lead bring Evans in again.



I like your thinking. In fact i was hoping one of ya'll would say this.
