re: Zack Hess to the Bullpen

I think Paul was the only one in the world that saw Hess as a starting pitcher.
And Zack Hess himself and every other school that recruited him.
Hess has some of the most electric stuff on our team. With the shortage of arms we've had last year and this year, we absolutely had to try and make Hess as a starter work. He showed glimpses of greatness but the lack of consistency just couldn't make it work. Im glad everyone is now on the same page and he will be where he has previously been the most consistent and successful.

Now, Peterson need to go back to a starters role and I will be vindicated!
And don’t forget, I called Bregman to third base in the majors. I ain’t letting go of that.

Aside from Florida lighting him up he has been effective in every outing.

If Hillard can be effective for 5 innings you hope to get Hess' best stuff for three innings and then Fontenot. If Hess can be a bridge to Fontenot the pitching situation looks a whole lot brighter.
The boost Hess could give the pitching staff by being effective for three innings would be huge.

If that was the case, why was he coming out the pen freshman year? And you said the same thing I said about his consistency.

He was recruited as and began the year as a starter but was moved to the pen. He did well in that role and stayed there.

Right and you also said that Mainieri is the only one who saw him as a starter, which is verifiably untrue.

Indication that this is the last year we see him...I hope he shines there!

Any of you in-game baseball thread folks want to apologize to me for the relentless harassment?

Let’s fricking ride boys. Team will be hitting its stride come postseason.

Everyone could see this last year.

not to mention given his performance this year, he just hasn't been a consistent enough starter to keep him in the weekend rotation
That simply isn't true.
ETA: I think a lot of people here confuse the move being better for Hess with it being better for LSU.

If that's not inconsistent I don't know what is. He's been lit in more starts as much as he hasn't. I hate it for him but he's actually regressed as a starter this year. I think most of it is in his head but it is what it is. But I don't know how you can say that isn't true.
The move is better for both Hess and LSU

What some of you don't understand is that there's a part of the season to try different roles and give guys opportunities. What matters is that everybody is where they need to be come May. Yall just want the coach to try to win every game in March based on the results of February. It doesn't work like that.

I hope Hilliard has a good outing because lately he has struggled.

No, it's not true that his performance wasn't good enough to keep a weekend job...you know, the part of your post that you intentionally left out. We don't have anyone sitting in the wings who looks to be a better option.

why is that funny? That is a pretty average outing from what you'd expect out of a Friday starter. That's a 1.41 WHIP, a .346 OBP (he also had 1 HBP), and 3.18 ERA in that start. Those are neither great nor are they bad numbers, which is why I called it an average start. Posted on 5/2/19 at 1:10 pm to moneyg

how do you figure? Excluding his one relief outing this year, as a starter he has a 2-3 record, a 4.88 ERA (worst on the staff among starting pitchers), a .297 OPP BA (worst among starters), and has allowed a .395 OBP (worst among starters). So you tell me again how it's not true.

Even with Hilliard's struggles, he still has put up better numbers than Hess this year, and that's saying something. And when Cole comes back, it's basically a no-brainer this is better for both LSU and Hess.
