re: How would you use your pitching staff in an ideal perfect scenario today?

They'll be at home.

Don't believe Poche will be used today.

It was said somewhere that today would be like a bullpen day for Poche' during the regular year and that he might could go 20 pitches or so if needed. He would be good to throw an inning where some of OSU's lefties are due up.

LSU scores about 18 runs in first inning and let lil sweet take the mound so he can get the attention he's craving.

I think we'll see something like:

1. Gilbert for about 5
2. Poche/Newman/Bain/Reynolds/situational into the 8th
3. Hess for 1 2/3

Strall complete game no hit shut out. We win by 1 run, dupes scores from first on a passed ball 3rd strike 2 out in the bottom of the 9th.

Ideally Gilbert goes 9, but I think the best realistic scenario is

Gilbert 5 and change
Beck for 1 and change
Newman for setup in the 8th, finds his mojo again, rolls through the rest of the game to build his confidence back.

Hess gets some good rest and can close all three games in the finals.

Zero chance Lange goes Game 2 of the Championship Series. He's Wednesday at best.

Poche is not listed on the lineup. He is not available.

Lange on 3 days rest? No shot. Like zero.
