Really the only decision unless you just throw someone who barely pitched all season and they get hot.

Then why play the game?

You play to win the game…within reason. Send him out to start an inning with 45 pitches? No.

Leave him in to throw 6-7 more pitches with two outs? That’s not unreasonable.

6-7 additional pitches is not going to be the difference between pitching great 5-6 days later and completely falling apart

Pulling a reliever who’s gone through the lineup and has a high pitch count

The results aren’t nearly as important as you think they are.

Jay felt it wasn’t reasonable. He had a plan and stuck to it. Sorry you’re upset by it.

Why pull a guy killing people with his A+ stuff? Thx Jay 3run bomb off Ulloa


Coach JJ literally explained it during the in game interview. He even left Ack in for one extra batter. Why can't you people understand the bigger picture when the coach literally spelled it out for you

I don’t care about whatever strategy they thought they were employing.

Why even engage in the discussion then? There is in fact a bigger picture than this game

Authority bias rules this board. A coach could go to the mound, drop his pants and fill up the pitchers cap with shite and 80% of the board would argue it was a genius move and anyone who disagreed doesn’t understand baseball. That isn’t hyperbole, it would absolutely happen.

Like anywhere from 1 to 8 pitches would’ve ruined him from regionals. Such a dumb argument. He could’ve got 1 more out and had zero affect on that.

Not upset about it. Just rebutting the argument that he HAD to do it because of the pitch count like a handful of “extra” pitches in that situation is going to tank LSU’s chances next week.

Ack was pitching lights out, there was no reasonable reason to not let him finish the inning.

apparently winning the SEC is just not a thing.
Because there is no way anyday LSU is going to beat a team like Tenn with these last two pitchers.

You people bitching about a planned pitching rotation are pathetic. You know nothing about baseball, you know nothing about sports, and you probably live in 500 person town, with nothing to do, and jerk off to VHS vids from the 70s.

Jay won a National Championship last year. My dumb arse will defer to his decision making. I don’t get paid millions to coach baseball
