Jump was great. Threw stikes. Did not get rattled against a hot team

tRant has explained to me to never throw your ace, just save your best pitchers for contingency games you may never play.

tRant knows everything, so how could anyone disagree. I mean - shite - half the game thread posters checked out after the Wofford HR to make it 3-1. Easily they know everything.

Right. We really shouldn't pitch Holman tomorrow against UNC because if we win without him then we have him to win the regional..........

Sadly some idiots truly believe that.

You don’t throw your ace when you are a top seed facing a much inferior opponent. This team is not a top seed and doesn’t have an offense consistent enough to throw a bullpen guy a team that hits .340.

Why are y’all trying to equate a 2/3 game to a 1/4 game?

Yep. You go 1-0 or you are cooked unless you have a pen and bats to really rally. Jay just won a cws 1 yr ago. Maybe he knows a few things more than me. I like the idea of having jump tomorrow but man we’d be 0-1 had jay not put jump on tha
hump!

Just wait if LIU wins, then the hold Holman threads will pop up.

Edit: LIU goes up 3-1 in the 3rd right after I posted this.

Metrics are nice but can be wrong, you throw your ace because teams are HOT entering post season play. Wofford was HOT. We needed someone that was commanding. Jump was commanding.

Losing game 1 and losing game 2 put you in the exact same situation.

Without Jump and considering the crap zone of the HPU, LSU may have been blow out without the ace to manage blue.

I agree, but Holman is just as good. I am glad Holman is pitching tomorrow.

Serious? Not if you are playing catch up and unloading your pen all day. Having jump go 100 allowed us to have a pretty full pen game 3 assuming holman goes deep
