Thatcher Hurd gets the start tonight. 11 MPH North wind going straight to right field to start the game. North to Northwest winds 8-10 MPH for the night. Left handed batters and opposite field right hand hitters, it's time to shine. Hurd, do your thing big guy. Bats, do your thing. Let’s fricking GEAUX!

Not a fan of this call.

Hurd has shown to be a better reliever and Skenes is a pure starter.

His last start was awesome. He has been a better pitcher period since post season started.

I'm mixed. Skenes is used to starting and the routine and not used to coming into a pressure situation. It's a different mindset.
But Skenes has the bulldog mentality and will likely relish coming in mid game or for a save. It would be really cool if he is on the mound with the lead in the 9th and gets the save.

Skenes’ team may have red lighted him for today and you can’t disagree if they did.

You're gonna bash people for making a decision to not risk hundreds of millions of dollars after the kid has thrown nearly 300 pitches in a little over a week....how entitled are fricking LSU fans...Skenes nor his people owe LSU anything.

Tried telling all of you that Skenes was not getting the start tonight but no one wants to listen.

Start Hurd, hope for 5 complete.
Herring for 6outs.
Skenes gets the ball for 7-9inn.
Cooper is the safety valve if Skenes runs out of gas or we go extras.

If we don’t hit ALOT better tonight with RISP and with 2outs, it won’t matter.
