Half of them are aholes, so that is not very meaningful.

Baloney. Much of the back and forth was other people. Some of yall are just assholes. Aside from a few comments, this thread was a decent one.

You play to win the game! Pretty sure I heard someone say that before.

Have to try & insure a 1-0 start, then figure out from there.

It is also true that the goal is to win the Regional, not game1. Most agree that we pitch Jump game1. All agree that Jay will do this. This thread was a debate on approaches.

Don't sweat it. There was some decent discussion here, aside from the snarky ones.

Why are you so mad that someone has a differing opinion


I’m not mad at all.

You asked a question and it was answered in the first 3 posts. You are a self proclaimed “non-expert in baseball” yet have spent the last 8 pages debating why you think you are right. COULD your way work out? Sure. It’s baseball. But in the post season you do everything possible to stay in the winners bracket. After the first 2 innings I am extremely glad we started Jump. We need a strike thrower who can take the outs when they want to give them. They are already manufacturing runs and look to be very good at it. Free passes against this team would not be good.

You didn’t want an answer, you just wanted to argue.

That’s called a troll.

Man it's almost like I knew what I was talking about

Hare - 1 RBI
Mannelly - 1 RBI

Well, I am certainly glad Johnson went with Jump today. It was always about the percentages. I expected LSU to put up more than 4 runs today. They didn’t, but Jump gave them enough to get it done. I’m still not at all thrilled with the prospect of having to beat UNC at least once with the pen, but if they can get the win tomorrow at least Wofford will have one of their top pitchers waiting for them in the losers’ bracket.

Because you are facing one of the best hitting teams in the country and you want to win the freaking game and not fall into the losers bracket !!

Exactly. It was always the right call. No matter how many scenarios people want to run through their heads.
