Outside of Anderson and Eyanson, Evans is the only pitcher to throw more than 5 innings in a game. And he's only started 3 games. 
but yea, somehow you know what you are going to get, i guess.

For me give it to Shores, he's starting to turn the corner

It would be great if Cowan could see the mound. The key, of course, is winning, but some arms haven't been in motion for a while and need the work.

We could just whip arse using noot and shores and then let Cowan and Evans both get their work in knowing we have the game like the first two games so far. Why we are going Noot then Shores and seeing how things go with regards to deploying Evans and cowan

Do you think Evans is more conditioned than Noot given that he hasn't made an appearance in over 2 weeks and his last outing was only 27 pitches? Genuinely asking because to me it would seem a toss up. I think I'd rather Evans start anyway because I think it's important than him and Cowan both pitch this weekend. I'm a bit concerned that if one of them doesn't start it will be tough to get both of them in the game assuming Shores is first out of the pen
I had also hoped to see Fontenot make another appearance this weekend but at this point that doesn't seem like it happens unless we lose tonight

So you are going to base your entire decision making process on one game? Evans has been far more effective as a reliever than as a starter. I’d rather get 3-4 innings from Noot to set up getting more effective innings from Shores and Evans than to gamble on a less effective Evans starting who probably won’t go more than 3-4 innings anyway.

Personally, I would go with Noot after the way he stepped up in the SECT.
Evans was so fricking good as a closer that it makes sense to put him in that role again with others like Noot and Shores looking like they can be your extra game starters.
I really want to see Cowan get the ball for middle relief tonight. This is the perfect opportunity to get him some confidence before the supers and Omaha.

as opposed to you basing what you are saying on 2 games? huh?
Im trying to understand what the disconnect is with you and this. Do you think I am saying Noot isnt any good? I dont understand the stance you keep trying to dig in on based on what I am saying.
If LSU truly knew what to expect from any specific 3rd starter, we wouldnt be here discussing it.

Like 99% of every pitcher in the world is, and would be.

Where do you people come from?! It's not just the crazy opinions, but the absolute certainty you say them with that blows mt mind!
If Noot gets you 60, you are going to be able to use the rest of the pen accordingly, especially getting Evans in position to do what he does best.

Why do you think this is crazy, or assume that i am insulting him by saying that?
If they want to patch together a game with a few guys, that is perfectly fine, and he would be a nice option to go with.
If they want to go with someone with the potential to go later in a game, it wouldn't be him. Why does this hurt your feelings?

What’s stupid is you assuming Williams isn’t pitching 2. That’s stupid. If it is DBU, expect Williams before others out of the pen.

I don’t think you are saying Noot is bad. I just think you aren’t being realistic about the options LSU has available at this point. It’s unlikely that any pitcher is giving them more than 4 innings. Dismissing Noot as an “opener” when the other options more than likely won’t give you more innings (even if Evans is capable of throwing more pitches) isn’t a compelling argument to me. Evans and Shores have both been more effective out of the pen. If Noot can effectively open the game to set them up in the pen, that seems like the logical choice.
Posted on 6/1/25 at 2:09 pm to Lester Earl
What Lester is saying actually makes more sense. Evans has shown he can give you length. The goal today is to win the game and be done but you also have to keep your pitching in an advantageous situation incase we have to play tomorrow. Going Evans, Cowan, Williams, Fontenot, today would still leave you a pretty good combo of Noot, Shores, Mayers if you need them game 4.
ETA: also considering it’s been a while since Evans and Cowan pitched, it’s reasonable to believe they are in line ahead of the others. If we win, it will be going on a month since their last appearance before they get a chance again in Supers.

Noot, Williams, Shores and maybe Evans if DBU. Look at the number of lefties they have and consider the arm angles and type of pitcher. Shores shoves it at the end of the game.

Why do you think this is dismissive

Every. Pitcher. Is. More. Effective. In. Short. Spurts.
Whether Noot starts the game or comes in relief, its the same reason he doesnt throw more than 60 pitchers or so.
It's why MLB teams have multiple setup men before the closer.
What you are saying isn't profound or only specific to Casan Evans and Chase Shores lol.
