It was typical LSU down the stretch, making it a little harder than it had to be. But to get two wins only using 4 pitchers and get the rest of the night off…huge. It’s a perfect setup for tomorrow, and if the boys take care of business, an even better one for next week with Skenes having this much time off.

“Gamble”.

He pitched the best pitcher in the country in the post season when he wanted. Oh the horror

What if Hurd goes out against Tulane and gives a similar performance? Aren’t we in the exact same spot?

I feel like you if lose Skenes due to a delay it would be deflating.

It didn’t pay off.

Hurd pitching a gem made everything work

The rain delay would've fricked Skene's start today.

It’s almost like Jay is a HC with more experience and insight into this team than the rant. Shocker!

We won the game but that doesn'tmake bad decision good.

We will have pitched our two best pitchers a total of 3 innings against the best competition in the regional. Was that the plan?

Well Skenes would have started and been wasted. Hurd wouldn't have been available for his 12k. So we would like have been screwed.

It would have wasted the best pitcher in college. Not sure we win last night or tonight is the rantperts (rant experts) get their way.

That's been the rational thought process this entire time.
