If the season were to end today, LSU’s first game would be on next Wednesday.

I know many don’t give AF about the tournament but depending on what happens in Athens, and maybe regardless of Athens, we may need to win a couple for seeding.

I’d prefer to get Skenes back closer to his regular 7 day, Friday schedule. Or is it better to throw him early and have a longer rest leading up to Regionals?

I think I would go Johnny Wholestaff, followed by Skenes in game two, Floyd game three, and then JW…

Anyone not named Skenes or Floyd.

Personally, I'd probably go with Money. I think that may be why they decided to stretch him out against McNeese. Still would like to see Herring get a little more stretched out and see if he can give you 3-5 innings. Getting a little late in the game for that though.

If we win the series this weekend that’s what you will see.

Assuming we lock up a top 8 by winning the UGA series, the SECT is basically meaningless.

Id pitch Skenes (Thu) and Floyd (Fri- if nec.) on strict 90 pitch counts.

In no situation should we bump Skenes up to start game 1 in Hoover on short rest.

If they play Wednesday Skenes will be in the same rest that he will be for this Thursday game this weekend.

Then he will get extra rest going into the regional. Why not throw Skenes Wednesday?

Go for a series W in Athens this weekend making the SECT a non-factor.

Start Money on Wednesday. Then Skenes, Floyd, and Coleman the following games on pitch counts.

Use the tourney to figure out who you can rely on come first weekend in June.

No way in hell am I moving skenes schedule up early.

If we win the UGA series then whoever honestly. Money, Cooper, guidry, Little, Hurd, Coleman or Herring. Whoever has the smallest workload on their arm.

If we lose the series to UGA and need a couple of games then gotta go to Herring or Guidry first, assuming Coleman starts on Sunday va UGA.

Skenes will pitch Thursday in Athens. I don't know his recovery schedule, but if he is 100% after 5 days rest, then pitch him Wednesday. That gives him even more rest before the regional. If he isn't 100% rested, then pitch him Thursday. If he is showing any signs of late season fatigue, then don't pitch him at all. Only the staff knows these answers though.

Things I wouldn't do?

Throw Skenes or Floyd on short rest

Let Money go, let Coleman go, heck I'll warm up.

The SEC tournament means nothing for LSU this year.

We get a bye. And it starts Wednesday. We are not throwing Skenes or Floyd.

You're fricking retarded if you are saying that he should throw the Wednesday game.

He’s not going to pitch on Wednesday. If they win game 1 you’ll probably see him Friday. If they lose game 1 then probably on Thursday.
