He is going to be on short rest. Why in the world would you also choose to disrupt the routine he has had all year by also bringing him out of the pen?
I have a source. Its honestly a buddies source so IDK how trustworthy it is but he also said its Hurd to start and Skenes gets the ball in the 7th to finish the game.
Said they told Skenes he is on a hard pitch count and can go a max of 3 innings and he said he'd rather have the last 3 innings than the first 3 innings.

Which is why he should start regardless of if he is or isn’t on a pitch count

Look I agree that I would want him to start cuz if he has an efficient inning or two he could give you 4 or 5 or 6 innings. But if he is only being allowed like 50 pitches and/or 3 innings, it would allow UF to take defensive ABs and run his count up and possibly we only get 2 innings out of him. Its harder to do that when at the back end of the game.

This makes zero sense! You bring him off bench and you have way better idea of when you should bring him in and how long to stretch him. You start him and he comes out in tie game in 4th you just have Fla a massive shot in the arm of confidence! Starting him if he's not going distance is worst plan ever.

Pitchers are also creatures of habit and you ruin his routine by not starting him. It's also mentally entirely different to come in up or down a run or two versus starting 0-0.
Closers live off the adrenaline and use it to their advantage. Starters have a complete different mentality. Having him come in late is, IMO, the wrong call.

I think you need to be able to hit the ball first kinda like Florida was doing. They rose up to the occasion when their coach called them out to show up and Lsu was no where in sight not even trying. Did you watch that second game? The whole team has to click not just your Paul Skenes guy

I will be shocked if Skenes isn’t starting tonight
