Get out of here with that bullshite. He would be going on the 5th day just as he will when he is in the pros. If he is strong they will let him go but I would bet he doesn't get above 90.

It’s so funny to me to read you dummies tripping over yourselves, acting like y’all know what it’s like to manage a multimillion dollar arm
Y’all even go as far as throwing out specific pitch counts like y’all know wtf y’all are talking about
1.) you don’t know what it takes for skenes to heal and be ready for his next outing
2.) you have no clue what his arm can/cannot do healthwise
So why on gods green earth do y’all think you know what’s best for him? It honestly blows my mind that y’all think you’re qualified and informed enough to make these calls

Remember this kid is going to be a multi-millionaire soon and the guys that are prepared to write that check make the rules. I don't care if he's got a perfect game going, he's not going over 60-65 pitches.
It will be like 117 hours since he last pitched. Nearly 5 full days of rest.
Throwing 110 pitches on 5 days rest instead of 65 is not going to jeopardize his career.

Where do y’all come up with these magic numbers
The coach said before the tournament they planned to throw Skenes 2-3 times. He’s pitched like 4 times in the last month and one of those outings was only a few innings. It’s really up to him how much he wants to push it, but he hasn’t exactly been over worked.

When is the last time Skenes pitched in a reliever role.

I'd take the over on 60 pitches for Skenes!
Yep. If the decision is made to pitch Skenes tonight then you have to be prepared to have him throw more than 60 pitches.

The thought of giving our offense a chance to go win this early with Hurd (whose FB they couldn't hit the other night) while having Skenes on red red alert is not as ludicrous as some might think.
It’s not ludicrous at all.

His pitch count will be 90-100 put that in your pipe and smoke it.
This may be his last game till next year. No way he pitches over the summer for his pro team.

Lol...so delusional he goes 100 pitches tonight Johnson loses the trust of every single parent and coach of a big time prospect considering LSU. Will severely damage his reputation in the coaching world as well. And that is straight out of the mouth of someone that played this game at the highest level for a long time and knows arms (not me).
Everyone will understand protecting him and it would be a death nail for Johnson if God forbid anything bad came of it. Ain't gonna happen.

Why ? Are we keeping him fresh for the pirates postseason run? This is what he came here for. Hard limit my arse.
He had those pitch counts earlier this season so he could throw more NOW. Quit acting like that still applies in the World Series.

I 100% agree. If you can do what you said, then you may save Skenes and give him his normal start.
The thing about “relief” is you can bring him in T the start of a new inning.

Agree with you 90-100 pitches at least , if he’s feeling good . He’s a big strong guy . Not out of question.

4. Soemone besides Skenes is going to have to throw strikes tonight and probably going to have to do it for 5+ innings.

One of their hitters even admitted this in the press conference last night after the game. Said they need to adjust how they hit.
And then proceeded to say "hitting is hard so can't control that." Let them keep swinging for the fences and flying out.

1- Wake has been wholly unimpressive offensively in this series. Their "legendary" offensive numbers were put up in an inferior league and pitching (to the SEC) playing homes games in a matchbox ballpark.
I don't know where this concept that Wake had a legendary offense came from.
Wake is #26 in the country in batting average (LSU is #18)
Wake is #2 in the country in runs scored (LSU is #1)
Wake is #14 in the country in hits (LSU is #6)
Wake is #5 in the country in home runs (LSU is #2)
Wake is #5 in the country in OBP (LSU is #2)
Wake is #8 in the country in slugging percentage (LSU is #5)
Their numbers are very similar to LSU's, which is why it isn't surprising that the combined total score of our two games is 7-5.

You simply cannot sit Skenes in an effort to hold him for a game we may not even play. So the risk you take is that in order to get to the championship series, you play your ace and see how it plays out. Couldn't we also go up 12-2 in the first three innings and sit Skenes?

So you think that Skenes, if he starts, will be pulled in the 4th inning? Based on what?

5. Our offense is still better than theirs is (even with Thompson and Millazo)
Yep, see above.
