Crushed holy shit

Damn, lets hope Pierce can step it up
-
I mean it's always been that way. But offense is up this year for some reason, that makes guys who would be 4s now 6s.
Offense is up this year to a crazy degree. R/G the past few seasons was 5.9. This year is like 6.5.
Home run rates have jumped ~20%. TL;DR: Ball is juiced.- 1

Sthele? Really?

The baseballs are definitely juiced this year. Certainly creates exciting postseason games/moments
For real, I’d suspected earlier in the season, but the regionals have been something else. Half the biggest comebacks in regional history will come in this year. Every other game is 20+ runs. Nuts -
Silas is struuuggling
-
Probably that they have no arms past Skenes
-
Damn, so close

Close play, good slide

Back to back innings, one strike away

Skenes says I’ll do the fielding myself

Voting Stevens as game 3 starter.
1) Stevens still has a 4.5 ERA in his relier appearances against non-midweek teams. His value is not in being a shutdown bullpen arm, but in the volume of ok innings he can throw. Stevens gives you 6IP of 2-6 run ball and without the same specter of a blowup like we had against OU.
2) Morehouse isn’t the guy, not in the playoffs. He’s given up 20 ER in 19 innings against “real” opponents (not UTRGV) and 12 in his last 7 (including against Kansas and WVU). He is not a viable posteason starter based on the resume to-date.
The only alternative to Stevens is Johnny Allstaff, which gets really dicey really fast. If our bats get blown away (OU) it doesn’t matter much. But keeping it to 5 or 6 v 8+ honestly matters with how potent our offense can be. I wish we could keep Stevens in the pen, and if we get in trouble in the first two games he should probably be our long relief option. But if we can, we want him going 6+ IP and giving us a real chance in a G3.- 1

IVAN HITS 29
-
I understand they won their (weaker) division in the best conference and aggy won the h2h series away, that makes sense. But Vandy’s RPI is 6 and Aggy is 20 for a reason. The difference in their conference performance was 5 games - their schedule was almost identical except Vandy played Tenn and Florida while A&M played Alabama and Miss St. And A&M had a much weaker non-con. If A&M won the tourney or was the undisputed best of the SEC, sure. But its a gilden win to say you “won your division in the best conference” when you dodged the two other best teams in the conference.
My point is that you can’t have a soft NC and then lean on the SEC if you aren’t the absolute best - RPI cuts through that and Vandy and Florida both are better. If your division was soft, tough, play a real team non con or win your tourney.- 1
-
A&M as a top 8 seed is laughable. Their RPI is 20 and the SEC already has Tennessee and Vandy. They do not deserve a super.

LETS GO FALTINE

I don't care who's pitching it's going to be a patchwork game of guys that haven't been good enough to start weekend games this season. All of y'all pining for Stevens must have forgotten how fucking terrible he was in his last few starts. I commented earlier that he's got some stuff cooking out of the pen - why mess with that? He will get innings today either way.
Bigger issue - Ivan needs to show the fuck up. Trey finding a couple hits would help as well.
No disagreement that the offense needs to show up. Any way you slice it, this game we need a big showing. My only thought is that we need a third starter much more than another arm in the pen. If morehouse isn’t that guy, its most likely stevens. Maybe I could see throwing southard or Olivares and hope you get a good showing they can roll into regionals. But Dre, we’ve been through this…its just not going to happen.
Lets also just reflect on the fact that Olivares has 1 ER in twenty(!) innings and we’re throwing Blair and Duplantier out there. Really saving him for that super needed situation huh. -
Oh Christ we’re starting Duplantier!?!? Well. Here we go. Time to be a hero
Makes no sense. Have to go Stevens. -
Stevens is the only chance of a third starter, its clear now. Morehouse doesn’t have the stuff to beat quality D1 hitters. Stevens probably gets rocked, but throw him third and hope he can give you 6+ innings of less than 6 run ball.
-
Old man is so damn clutch this season. Hell yeah Todd
-
Fuck yeah! Gordon getting it done. Great performance
-
May be an inning too many for Gordon
-
Laughable that Tech is still in the top 10
Seriously, RPI and ISR have them in the mid 30s. Even suggesting they’d host right now is questionable. Also, A&M at 5? I rolled my eyes seeing them project as a national seed, but #5?
Way too much credit for the SEC there, especially since they didn’t play Tennessee or Florida
