Nah. Just stick with the Jump/Holman/bull-pen rotation to keep Jump and Holman on schedule.

We should not start ours either. I would take my chances with Ack and save our two aces for North Carolina.

That’s why you don’t coach. It’s regionals. You don’t take chances. As a coach once said, you play to win the game.

They have almost NO chance at beating the top of our or NC's staff consecutively. Not bad strategy actually

IDK the greatest to ever do it Skip said himself he'd throw off, and that was when we thought we were facing Woffrd's ace.

Too much parity in today’s game compared to skips. Plus Jay wants to maximize his chances to win each game.

Going with Jump today and Holman game 2 also has the potential to have a ton of your bullpen available for the rest of the regional. You can also come back with Jump for a few innings on extremely short rest if in a pinch.

If you go with Ack today and he struggles, you could end up using 7 or 8 arms today.

Get to 2-0 and worry about cobbling together 1 more win to advance.

fricking around and burning 3-4 bullpen arms in game 1 would be bad even if LSU won.

Skip was also used to playing a 6 seed who in those days was almost always trash. Skip also said do whatever you have to do to remain in the winner's bracket.

Everyone sit down and throw a shot of bourbon in your coffee.

As the great Skipper said. You win the first two no matter what.
That’s what we are doing. Starting Jump is the move.

Yes and no. 5 years ago absolutely

With nil and the portal the pendulum is swinging back the other way

We should score early and often vs these guys and can rely on Helmers, Dutton, Anderson to close it out saving our better bullpen arms

Trying to squeak out a win to save bullpen arms is exactly how you FAFO and end up in the losers bracket.

No thanks.

You know how you save bullpen arms? Have jump shove it down their throat. Then you don't have risk getting into a knife fight with a team who steals a ton and suddenly you have burned through bullpen. Wofford is not a shitty 4 seed.

Their starter has a 1.75 WHIP. If we cant get by them with our B arms then we don't deserve to win the regional

We.trying to win and advance or just make the regjonal final?

Don’t care. Burning bullpen arms game 1 is a terrible idea.

Getting to 2-0 with a full compliment of relievers is how you advance.

I tried to tell y’all they are not worried about us. I’ve been in their midst. They think they win this thing.
