Researchers of the rant - help the rest of us out.

How could someone know who's starting if it's not been announced?

I don't know who is on their roster for this game but here are the pitchers who have starts for them this season and the number of pitches they have thrown in this regional.

Pitchers with starts on the roster (not sure about regional roster or injuries)

Shea Sprague - 13 Games Started, 3.76 ERA, 93 Pitches in regional, 69.1 innings pitched this season

Other than simple stats, I am no real help, though

I don't expect to see Sprague or Hough at all. There is an outside chance we see Decaro but not for more than 40 or so pitches (I don't expect to see him at all). Boaz is hurt and out for the season from what I have read, otherwise, I would have expected him. I suspect they will put together a patchwork outing just like LSU is likely to do unless the starter (I guess Coleman or Ack) can put in an excellent deep outing.

Decaro

They'll probably keep him in the bullpen. I think they have about 5-6 innings of good pitching. After that things are gonna get wild
