As I’ve thought more about it, DP has the opportunity to make the ballsiest move of all time. And piss many of you off.
This regional could go anywhere from 3 to 5 games for the winning team.
The Aggies are better. They aren’t going to blow a top arm in game 1. Grambling lost by a combined 47-3 versus the Pigs and LSU. Both games ended after 7.
We are likely better off losing game 1 than game 2. Lose game 1, and you get Grambling. They gave up 10 or more runs 21 times against the number 274th schedule. 20 runs 5 times. If we hit, and we should, then any arm we throw should be sufficient.
ULaLa will have used their top 2 guys. The Aggies will have used their top guy. We need to win 4. We will likely need to beat them twice whether it’s winners bracket or losers bracket.
Go Cody Howard. If he somehow comes thru, you’ve still got your top 3 starters plus Hurley. If we lose, we have a winnable game and should be able to piece together and preserve our staff. So our choice versus ULala #3 or Aggies #2.
Our least likely win is versus Aggies #1.
It will never happen, but if Pierce is going down, it might as well be in flames.
