Here is an observation after watching Fisher last night and now Sausage and NicFic. Does it seem like the softer stuff gives the LSU hitters more trouble than those 98 mph straight as an arrow ones?
Makes sense. They practice against their pitching staff.

If our utility pitchers can finish the game maybe Slater can be saved for long relief tomorrow
I think that is the thought for sure now. I think earlier it was Slater to finish the game when we were up 4 or 5 early. Now I think Slater is up and warming at the start of the game tomorrow as you can hope Cags can throw strikes, but you can't bet the farm on it.

Need to get both Robertson and the Iron SheikOffer some swings next inning, just in case they have to hit next game, like they did last night.

How much do they get out of Skenes tomorrow?

I would guess 100 pitches max. I know that is a stretch but that guy is a man. And chances are the team that drafts him is going to shut him down for the rest of the minor league season or at least a few months.

I know I’m crazy but bring on the best. Will be that much sweeter. 70 max IMO. Question does he start or relief, alot of eyes on this decision $$$
I could see either scenario. Key will be the confidence they have in available relief.

If I had been told we would get less than 7 innings pitched in the first 2 games out of our two best starters, and the series would be tied, I would have said no chance. That's baseball.
