I believe they give the ball to Sam Tweedt for Friday, or one of the lefties Eisert or Britton.
My hunch is Tweedt, but I want Eisert. Eisert pitches have a lot of movement, and he pitches well to righties too.

Going to be either Raz or Jake. Yeah, you've got to approach this game as an elimination game. |

I just don't like throwing a hard throwing rightie at a LSU team that feasts on those types of pitchers. Thompson appears to be fatigued. If it's Raz, I would pull him after the second time through the lineup at most. And bring in Mulholland or Eisert for the change of pace.

Jake is due for a good outing. He will be ready. If he keeps the ball down early he will be fine. He gets stronger as the game goes on. And if not, we have Ras ready to go early.
Absolutely play this like an elimination game. Two headed starter.

Whatever Casey picks is the right call. Whatever pick he makes, he'll have his reasons, and he's been right all year long. Seriously, if he said "Li'l Sweet is transferring from LSU and will pitch for us tomorrow", I'd blink, shrug, and just accept he knows best.
If I were picking, I'd pick Razz. Assuming no injury things that we don't know about, I see no reason he wouldn't be fine. This gives you Thompson/Fehmel/Razz for the final series, assuming a victory. But I think it's ultimately a coin flip, so I'm 'going with Casey'. After all, how many times this year have any of us said "we left him in too long" or "we should have brought in _____" because Casey made the wrong move? That number's gotta be really low for all of us.
I don't think LSU's pitching is as bad as we saw in the back half of Monday, I just don't. But I do think our bullpen is notably stronger, and if we get to the LSU bullpen with a lead, we should win this thing.
Put it to bed Friday, then go for the title.

But you better be right  |

I just want to see Mad Max in relief. I want complete baffling of hitters who can't pickup the release point or ball rotation. I want Max to get glory.
I want him to walk out there as closer and show there is more than one way to win at baseball. That was the beauty of Gundy.
Max to me is Oregon State baseball personified and I hope he is physically ready, gets the chance and performs.

I'm with blowcheese - Casey and Yeske seem to know who to slot and when, and what to do if the first choice isn't working out. Jake will be ready, Raz will be ready, everyone will be ready, and the Power of the Kwan (and Madrigal et al) will see us through.

How quick we forget Tweedt was 8-1 with a 2.85 ERA in 2015. now, I agree Tweedt is not a style match up for LSU at all, but we seem to think the kid is garbage. We was a real serviceable mid-week kid a few years back and unfortunately got snake bit with the injury. He also pitched a lot of real good relief innings in 2015. |

I think it will be Jake. Jake threw 78 pitches on Saturday. His fastball was at 92mph when he exited the game. Casey likely wantd him in this game where there is little less pressure with it not being a must win so he can relax and do what he has done most of the season and better locate his pitches.

If Jake is going, the umpire's strike zone is critical, more so than with Razz, I think. If he can get the low strike consistently, then he will be able to aim at the paint and keep the ball out of the power zone of most of the LSU hitters. The temp is going to be about 78 and the winds will be light and blowing out - they are crowing about the big boost in home runs hit this year, but a lot of that can be attributed to a reversal of the standard wind patterns for June, thanks to a few nice fronts moving through. |
