Skenes is a machine. He can warm up pre game. And be ready if need be. He’s going to do what he does no matter what.


He's going to pitch so well he will undo the 2 runs they've already scored?

Wow. Okay. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're just trolling. But either way, it's dumb to claim there's no risk. And utter chickenshit that you have completely refused to address how putting Skenes in in a bad situation automatically means we get out clean. You know full well that he is capable of giving up runs, and waiting until we're in a bad spot significantly increases the chances of that.

He does listen to himself and no one else. That’s the problem. Well that and he’s not very knowledgeable about baseball.

It's 4 days rest. NCAA rule is 3 days rest I think. MLB use to be on 4 days. The weather could also give him more rest nobody can predict that so it might be 5 days rest who knows. Regardless, LSU is at a massive advantage in this game because there's nobody in Florida's bullpen you want in a game 3 against Skenes on the mound.

You asked that other guy to explain why things went bad and batter by batter but now you’re asking him to explain a hypothetical scenario you originally brought up.

You explain how things went bad. You’re the one who brought it up in the first place.

I believe if you put Skenes in a bad situation, he gets out of it. That’s an opinion, sure. But I have that much confidence in him.

If I knew he was coming back to start game 3, then I’m all on board him starting tomorrow.

So you don’t start the best pitcher in the country in a must win game.



This is either a really bad troll or someone who doesn’t understand how baseball works.


Either way, I’m done trying to explain it. Wow.

I’m asking for hypotheticals of how things went bad because things should t get as bad as people are saying. Furthest it should get is man on first and second in inning 1 with no outs. Then you bring Skenes in. It’s not going to be 5-0 before you decide he’s needed.

Irrelevant, because that's not what you're saying. You keep saying there is "no negative", which means that it does not even increase the RISK of something bad happening. Now, is your confidence so high that you are insisting that your understanding of baseball genuinely leads you to believe that putting Skenes in after another pitcher has given up a leadoff single and a home run present no more chance of us losing tomorrow than starting Skenes from the beginning?

Because if it increases the risk, that's not "no negative".

Why do you want to limit Skenes innings? Wake could score quickly early on before we can make a move. Skenes could give us 7-8 innings tomorrow.

I’ll say what I said already. If Skenes pitches 5+ innings tomorrow, I think we win. Whether that’s 1-5, 2-6, 3-7, etc, we win.

Are you honestly claiming that you genuinely believe that situation will present zero increased risk of losing as compared to starting Skenes in the first place?

Because if you are, you simply don't know how baseball works. Because it 100% irrefutably and inarguably does increase the risk (unless you believe Skenes would actually have done worse than that against the first two batters had he started).
