UL uncertain on game one starting pitcher

[CajunEXPRESS]

I agree. Marks appears a little more consistent than Guillory at this point, but Guillory has become a lot more consistant. It may be a crap shoot.

I would not be surprised if his name is Milhorn......

I wouldn't be surprised but after listening to tony I think he kind of likes having milhorn and bacon available in the pen for long relief. I think it's between Guillory and marks, they are both hard throwing righties and both are true freshman... But Guillory is on an extra day and only had 1 apperance compared to marks 2. Logic tells me Guillory but marks getting the nod wouldn't shock me.

Man...which of these pitchers that have all been red hot do we throw? This is such a terrible problem!!!

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it is Milhorn. He has been lights out over the last few weeks and it allows Coach Rob to push Gunner and Wyatt to Saturday. It depends upon how he matches up with the Rice lineup, my guess is Milhorn.

But then you are limiting yourself by having Bacon be the only option for long relief. If Milhorn gets off to a rocky start Friday, you've now burned Bacon (no pun intended) and he wouldn't be available Saturday.

I still think its Evan or Wyatt and Tony keeps Milhorn and Bacon in the normal bullpen roles. Don't mess with what got you to this point.

This is playoff baseball though. You can't worry about not burning pitchers. It does you no good to save your best pitchers if you go 0-2. You play to win the game.

But it's about having guys who have been successful coming out of the bullpen. You still gotta win at least 3 games best case scenario... Which will involve the bullpen at some point. If you drop a game you really gonna need the bullpen. Having milhorn and bacon in the bullpen was the reason we are in a regional.

Its about getting to the championship game. It comes down to matchups, but does Coach Robichaux want to go with a freshman against Rice in the opening game if his name is not Gunner Leger? It sounded like he was reluctant to do that, but again it comes down to matchups.

I think if he chooses Milly and he gets in trouble, then it would be pitcher by committee if Bacon would struggle.

You are confident that Moore can give you "Moore" than one inning, you also have Charpentier and Carter who have started games that could go long relief, but if that did not work, you might see inning by inning. But I think Bacon, Charp and Carter would be your long relief options and Lee, Cooper, Stoelke, Bazar would be inning by inning guys.

Again, Moore would be the "X" factor, he has gone 2 innings plus in 11 times this season including 3 innings vs App State and 4.1 vs McNeese State. Charp has pitched 3+ innings in 4 games this year and had multiple 2+ inning games and Carter has pitched 7 innings, 3 innings, 5.2 innings and 2 innings in his last 4 outings. You have other options besides Bacon, if Milly pitches is my point.

Hopefully it won't come to that this weekend.

I agree that Milhorn and Bacon have been great in long relief. But Milhorn was in the starting rotation before he was injured. Milhorn has already pitched in regionals and a super regional. He was pitched against Alabama twice over the past two seasons. He is the only arm that can start that has pitched in a regional, to me that negates the discussion of his present role. Guillory could come in and pitch long relief in Friday's game as well. Again, we may all be off because it comes down to matchups and I'm not sitting in the room with the coaches.

Why wouldn't he go with a freshman? He's gone with a freshman on the weekend for the last few months. You don't change that now.
