Probably.

In reality, the risk for games 3 and 4 and the tournament overall are higher because of the decision.
I disagree. Losing game 1 means you have to win 4 straight. Losing game 3 means you just get a rematch. Game 1 is much more important and often times a more difficult game to win. You're playing a 4 seeds ace vs a 2 or 3 seeds #4 + depleted pen in game 3. I'd argue that typically a 4 seed has a better ace than a 2 or 3 seeds #4. I won't pretend to know who DBU and RI's #4 are but that guy tonight wasn't bad.

They couldn’t hit shite… We could’ve brought in new or wear or went bull pen on their arse and I’ve been the same damn thing! But that’s OK we are 1-0

What worked out?
You think you are right because as I said, you struggle evaluating multiple events at once. You are only able to evaluate tonight.

Why don't you look around the league at the other scores? Not just the upsets but some of the close games too. Get you head out of your arse snowflake.

Ole Miss choking in an Oxford regional like they usually do isn't a reason you should have done anything

obviously having Eyanson still available is an advantage. The question is whether or not the additional risk in game 1 outweighs the advantage of having Eyanson for game 3.
I think it’s self evident.

Agreed but you should always throw one of your best two game one just to keep them on a semi normal schedule for the supers. I damn sure don’t want Kade or Anthony throwing a Sunday or Monday game and then having to pitch sometime in a super. Especially not a Thursday-Saturday regional. The calls to throw Noot were dumb Imo.

You don't risk it in game one.
I know that’s mind blowing for a simpleton.

If Murray State wins they have to take Matt McMahon back

You’re not factoring in the risk of burning relief pitching by not pitching one of our aces in game 1.
By doing what Jay did, you have a much better chance of having all of your bullpen still available after game 1.
If he had started Evans, not only is he burned but probably another good relief pitcher was well.

The score was LSU 6 Tulane 2 after 7 innings in 2023...WITH Skenes on the mound. You don't risk it in game one.
Yet, LSU did risk it nearly every season before Jay. You’re just not really knowledgeable on the subject.

I think you're missing what I'm saying. I'll quote it

Not only is game 1 more consequential, but it's also often more difficult. I'd rather Eyanson pitch in the tougher game
Posted on 5/30/25 at 10:52 pm to DeathValley85
Any of you idiots bitching about pitching Eyanson just fricking look around at the 1 seeds who have lost today. Ole Miss tries to pitch off today and ended up burning a few pitchers and losing to Murray St. There is a reason to pitch a day 1 or 2 starter to ensure you get game 1.
