3. If LSU wins, Jason Determan starts game 6. I dont know if that is a good move why not use Dirks, then Determan. But after his good dession today maybe he knows more than i thought. I just hope he doesnt push his luck.
Good decision...it was the ONLY DECISION. You are on Smoke's nuts to much, try taking you lips off his ass long enough to see he was the only real option against NW St.... look I'll lay out the whole regional and options for you. Game 1: LSU v. Marist = Meier b/c Marist is a 4 seed and we should be able to get away with a sloppy pitching job, with our bats getting us the win... and in fact this happened. Game 3: LSU v. Rice = Smith b/c he is well rested, didn't pitch in the SEC Tourney and our best shot against a tough Rice team w/ a great pitcher themself. See the pattern Great pitcher against Great Pitcher.... If we lose to Rice we play NW St. or Marist... 2 low seeds, so you don't waist a great pitcher ie Dirks on them when you know Rice will probably meet us in the championship round. You have to pitch a struggling Mestepey b/c he has some good stuff but has been off of late and therefore gives our bats a chance to win against inferior talent, while not wasting a good pitcher. If we had defeated Rice, we would get a by basically setting the table for a Dirks v. Rice/NW St./Marist whoever got to Game 6 from the losers bracket... then if we are forced into a game 7, we have trusty Mestepey to fall back on, which is a pretty trusty back up. Then we get to the point we are now... we lost to Rice, played NSU and in turn started Mestepey, so as to save Dirks for a possible Game 6 against Rice, which would give us our best chance of winning the first game and taking us to the championship... but since we did not come out of the winners bracket, we had to use Mestepey earlier then we wanted and therefore have to rely on some of our bullpen pitchers to get us through a possible Game 7. (Smoke is actually doing the opposite of what I thought he would do, by trying to piece together a staff out of Determan etc... which is ok, b/c we get a chance to rest him up to close for Dirks on Tuesday). Its blatantly obvious that you are a sheep and have no idea about pitching strategy... if you did then you would obviously see exactly why Smoke did what he did... it was his ONLY LOGICAL MOVE.

If he does, it should be edited and/or deleted out. Please report all such posts you come across. Also, please try to address any issues you may have via private messages. Thanks. I personally do not read ALL of the posts on here but those I do catch I try to take care of. Only the few new posts when I come online are read by myself. I did not want to delete his post. It was very well thought out. I seriously doubt KTeamLSU has a problem with me "toning down" his post. :thumb:
I can't wait for this game to continue this morning. So anxious to see how the rest of this regional plays out for LSU. :geauxtige :tigbas:
Hey! I get posts deleted when the line is crossed. If I call someone an idiot, it's because they are an idiot. My low tolerance for stupidity, combined with my superior intelligence, compels me to point these things out.
