Have you watched college baseball before? Have you watched this team?

Anyway, really nice and encouraging outing from Cowan today. We absolutely need him to consistently give us some good innings if this is getting turned around.

Could be a surprise Paul Skenes appearance.

Good point.

He only pitched 0.2 innings a couple of days ago.

Should be good to go.

Lets see what the bullpen can do in the start tomorrow. I thought Cowan would be the guy.

He blew the lead in the first game at Vanderbilt. Gave up three runs in the ninth and LSU lost 13-12

Good idea. I did that in the 70’s when being a kid was fun. These days kids are entitled little pricks and I’m glad I never had any.

Tomorrow is a golden opportunity for a young man to turn this team around.

I know he had a plan and it was a good plan knowing Schmidt wasn’t going to go the distance to have another guy like Cowan who could take it 3-4 innings after him. My issue isn’t with the lack of planning. It’s with the rigidity with which Johnson tends to stick to his plans regardless of game circumstances. I’m not questioning his competence from a big picture perspective nor do I question his ability to prepare his team for postseason. I just think sometimes he gives games away in the regular season that aren’t entirely necessary to achieve postseason success.

LSU didn’t need a shutout today. If the same pitchers they are going to have to rely on to get them 9 IP tomorrow couldn’t have given them 3.1 IP with 6 or fewer runs today, then they are in trouble. Cowan pitching 3-5 innings of shutout ball tomorrow likely has more impact than it did today. He should have been ready to go today if things got tight, but there was no reason not to try to get innings out of guys they are going to have to use anyway with a 5 run lead and especially when they extended to 7.

Does Hellmers have any eligibility left? Great kid, felt like he was just starting to developed his stuff before we stopped seeing him in the rotation.

Jay said he considered it but simply had to get the W today. Some things will work, some won't but you can rest assured that Jay analyzes the options backwards and forwards

Oh, I absolutely agree he analyzing everything to the nth degree. Nothing in what I have said should be construed as thinking Johnson isn’t the best coach in college baseball right now. I get the rationale for wanting to ensure the victory today and if this were a one-off I wouldn’t have commented. It’s what he does more often than not sticking to a predetermined game plan and not adjusting for the circumstances. We’ll see if they have enough pitching tomorrow or can outscore them. I’d feel better if they had Cowan available.
