Ok, and when that happens, will it be open season for judgment? This road has been traveled so much that it's got ruts.

He didn’t give up 5 runs what are you talking about?

Skenes was charged with 3 er and I believe it was 2-2 when he came out.
Maybe 3-2

He pitched Dutton because he wanted to try to hold the lead without having to use the better arms left considering we would have a game or two left

It wasn’t his fault the inning was extended. But it was. And that isn’t a spot to really continue unless it’s potentially the last time he throws all year.

It’s not my fault you don’t understand scorekeeping

What part of the "SECT doesn't mean shite to LSU", this season?

Skenes would have been given the chance to pitch out of that if he’d not been on a strict pitch due to what’s ahead. He was at 88 pitches

Clearly his command was off relative to the secondary pitches but he still competed well enough for us to win.

Despite that we were right there and only a very unfortunate break for us was the difference in the score

If Arkansas or anyone wants to say they “ran him” then ok lol. I’m not gonna even try to argue if people really think you pull your best guy in that situation when the weakness of your team is your bullpen

It’s almost like he’s setting things up for the games that really matter. What a dumbass he is

Some just can’t wait to bitch and moan about a game ! A meaningless game! A game where your bullpen did pretty good but the bats didn’t compliment them it happens it’s a hard game to play your comment is spot on !

He was taken out immediately after getting the second out of the inning. It was not in any way a typical time to take out your ace. If he was going to get “run”, it would have been when he loaded the bases. It’s pretty clear his pitch limit was 90 and that dictated the moment he was taken out.

He would have thrown more pitches if that inning hadn’t spiraled. 88 laborious pitches isn’t ideal no matter the game circumstances

He had just went through B2B 8 pitch at bats. Cooper was warmed & a LH was coming up.

He’s not coming out for the 5th regardless so yea, he kinda got ran

Agree to disagree. Skenes wasn’t going over 90 pitches imo regardless

No reason for him to do so.

I know lots of posters are in their feelings about a loss today but the sec tournament is irrelevant for this team.

We were looking at a 3 seed if we win the thing and no worse than 5 if we don’t. It’s really inconsequential and Jay managed it with the focus on getting ready for next week. He wasn’t thinking win at all cost by any means

Ya, if he was cruising and the game was close, he’s going 7 & throwing 110.

The pitch count is a problem when you are at 88 in the 4th & have thrown 45 pitches and gotten 2 outs.

Yes. How many times do you think he gave up 5R in an inning and threw 45 pitches?


And? Not before.

Simultaneously, he could have kept going.

I can’t imagine there was any way in the world they would have had him throw that many in a meaningless game with the regionals next week

He wasn’t coming out for the 5th because they had him on a pitch count. It’s not coincidence that Floyd was taken out around 90 pitches too. If your point is that he hit his pitch count in the middle of the inning because it was a rough inning, yes, that’s true. I wouldn’t call that getting ran. They didn’t take him out because they didn’t think he could get out of the situation.

Yet they let him throw 42 pitches in an inning and still only had two outs. you are borderline already going way off script if M.O. is to baby him. You’re another casual inning from 110 anyway. And if he were cruising, not much difference
