Rough seties for ardoin

DYLAN CAMPBELL LADIES AND GENTLEMAN

Its your time Campbell

Alright Silas, time to be a hero

DC!!

Safe too, unreal

Wtf was that slide

Crushed holy shit

Damn, lets hope Pierce can step it up

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.

Sthele? Really?

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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good catch, damn

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.

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.

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
