We didn't start our ace in 2025
Also, what happens if the #2 (not Anthony Eyanson) can only go 4 or gets in trouble? Then you have to go to your bullpen a day earlier. Then your #1 is pitching on less rest the next weekend. It compounds and snowballs.
Just look at the trouble the 4 seeds gave the 1 seeds today. I don't know what else to tell you. More 4 seeds won the opening game last year than any time in the last 15 years.
two 4 seeds have already won today.
UF and Kansas struggled. UCLA is in a dog fight. A&M is trailing in the 5th.

In this day and age you never save your ace
All these teams can make your life difficult
You want to stay in winners bracket at all costs

Thank you. Little Rock is no joke.

Starting Skenes game 1 helped in so many ways. It saved a lot of your other great arms for the rest of the games. And it avoided losing him in the weather delay the next game. It also established confidence in the team the rest of the way. Imagine messing around and even if you won game one without him you possibly burned a bunch of arms.

I mean you can’t really determine if it was smart or not after 1 game. If a team that pitched their ace today and won 12-2 then goes and loses tomorrow 8-6 then it was probably a bad decision…

I’ve tried for years to convince young coaches, you play to win and the importance of being 1-0 in a double elimination format.
