LSU should have gone with a midweek guy honestly, this move makes no sense at all. I am mad for yall


They’re going to end up wasting Skenes in a blowout. That’s just silly to me.

Even if they pitched a midweek guy that maybe didn’t have an excellent game, their hitting and defense are going to run Tulane out of the park.

Corbs always throws our best in game 1. Keeps rotation on schedule for supers and saves the pen for remaining games.

And this is exactly why Johnson started Skenes. Our #3 is so inconsistent that he didn't want to risk going through 3-4 guys in our inconsistent bullpen in game #1. I would have started Floyd to be safe but I think we'll be fine either way in this region.

Thank you. This decision has effected my entire mood. Les Miles in BCS level poor decision. I support Jay Johnson but this is the worst decision I’ve ever seen. He’s the best pitcher in LSU history and facing a team with 40 loses.

This is the REAL tournament. You play to win the game you're playing and worry about the next game if you get to it.

So what’s the reasoning behind it?



win the first game. Their pitching isn't great. Assure Skenes isn't pitching from the losers bracket.

That's a great question


How many innings has he pitched today? Would he be ready to go again Sunday?

I agree...seems strange to throw your ace today. You probably have enough talent offensively to overcome it this weekend, anyways.

Failure to use the word "our" seems to point to no

Corbs, at least in all outward appearances, only cares about winning the game in front of him. I'd say his track record in regionals speaks for itself. Granted, most years, the back end starters at Vandy are probably Friday night guys in their own right.

I haven't seen the status on Owen and Holton, so this regional should be interesting.

I didn't think LSU had an ace this year, but that's just my perspective as an Arkansas fan. I've not watched any of your other games

He pitched Skenes cause he was skeered duh. No confidence in his team or pitching staff.
