re: You have to have Anderson and Eyanson on schedule for Super.

We have RPI #19 as our 2-seed. We will probably have to play them twice.
We have RPI #240 as our first game. Anderson would be killing a mosquito with a grenade.

You guys must have forgotten when Paul got was starting to get a reputation for ruining guys arms.
Last time Anderson pitched after short rest he came out holding his arm with a wrist cramp and everyone was scared it was an arm injury.

One of Kade’s worst outings of the season was on 6 days rest.
Also, you turned around after your speech and admitted that this isn’t a ferocious regional. If it isn’t, then you at least try to keep your guys on schedule and limit their pitch counts if you build leads. Then they could be used again if we need to close out a tight one or drop a game.
My point is that a Top 8 seed should have an eye on the Supers when game planning pitching.
This is a reasonable opinion. You’d certainly rather have Anderson and Eyanson both on full, regular rest going into the super. And I do think there is something to be said for the idea that a less-imposing regional (specifically the 2 seed) leads you further in that direction.
I also think it makes a difference that there’s not really any drop-off from Anderson to Eyanson, so your odds in the most critical game (winners’ bracket vs. 2 seed) are basically the same regardless of whether you pitch backwards.
But OP’s assertion about Anderson being unavailable for next Friday if he starts this Saturday is just dumb.

I posted in another thread that if you start Kade Game 1 and let him throw 4 innings then you might have him available for a Monday game if necessary. So we are on the same page.
And yes this isn't a tough regional so if JJ wants to start Noot inGame 1 then keeping our top 2 guys on the same schedule is thrown out the window should we make the Supers. 7 day rest or 6 days rest for both starters does it really matter.
My point is it's the post season there is no keeping the same schedule anymore.

Bingo we have another winner.

Idk why people will even be mad. It gives the best possible chance to start 2-0 and Noot is more than good enough to pitch and win game 3 of a regional
The argument is that you'll be 1-0 either way. So, do you want to be 1-0 and having burned Anderson? The OP makes you think you want to burn Anderson because you don't want to pitch him after Friday.
It's a fair point that figuring out how to win this regional isn't necessarily what you want if it harms your chances next weekend.

The advantage of being a top 8 National Seed is you get to play a weak 4 seed at home.
Therefore…..THE ADVANTAGE is being able to save your ACE for the Saturday game against the 2/3 seed winner.
Pitching your Ace against a weak 4 seed takes away your greatest advantage. I don’t understand why most don’t comprehend this. Skip and Paul most certainly did.

You've missed the point.
The argument is that being on schedule for next week is more important.
I'm not saying you have to agree, but you didn't even address the argument. Instead, you decided to explain why pitching off is beneficial to winning this regional.

Does your dumbass realize the best pitcher possibly ever in college baseball threw a complete game against fricking Tulane with a losing record in 2023?

Do you realize LSU pitched Austin Ross against Southern in 2009 and closed the game out with a position player throwing the 9th?

There is a huge possibility that our super starts on Saturday. That’s keeping your pitching staff on schedule.
Also…. Did a lot of you just start following lsu baseball in 2023?
Skip and Paul, for 38 years, never pitched their Ace in game one in a home regional. I think they both did very well in regional play and knew what they were doing.

who's to say our Super even starts on Friday?

The problem is our lineup is not on par with that in 2023. So, it would be best to save our aces for DBU (likely twice). We don't generate the offense like in 2023, so we need to shut down DBU. We won't need our best pitcher vs Little Rock

Its up to JJ to say who starts not me or you. Its a message board we are allowed to voice our opinions dumbass.

That's a better argument than the one you originally posted.

That's a poor argument for many reasons. But, at least you are addressing the issue.
The point of the OP is that it's there's a cost to forcing your starters to pitch on shorter rest. I think he's right. Whether or not the advantage gained during the regional outweighs the cost is where the issue lies.
My immediate reaction was to start Noot.
Honestly, the OP makes a decent point. I think LSU has plenty of pitching available.

True, but there are some people who are dead set on being right, at least in their own mind.
