Moot point as they will choke on their micropeens in Palo Alto.

Let's get through Coral Gables before we start worrying about aggy. 

[Cairn Horn88 8169]

aggy and Standford....two cultures miles apart.

[troph 24562]

Of course.

anyway, so far we have EK grab at the wall, DC diving catch, LBJ complete game/1 ER, Daly with a bomb, DC with clutch hits, playing spectacular baseball.  Just magic right now. Gotta find one more pitching performance even if it’s by committee.

I'm not sure what you're talking about I haven't seen anything that magical. I want to see more from these guys. They haven't proven anything yet.

Would really like to see Travis get the start tomorrow with Witt waiting to relieve him.

Witt has started the previous four series though. Be interesting to see what Pierce decides to do.

[Had Enough 2057]

Anyone but Witt would be surprising.

Some teams (Miss St. two years ago most recent) just have to get HOT at the right time to win it all.

 

Not even the most recent example

I can't imagine getting to host a regional and then seeing Texas as your 2 seed draw. 

It's kinda like seeing that you're getting sent to the College Station Regional, except the exact opposite.

The Indians, please try to keep up.

[Hookem2147 20932]

I *think* I would consider Hurley our 4th starter at this point. So everyone but him should be available tomorrow. They seem to be committed to bringing Sthele out of the pen (which I agree with).

I read that Pierce said Witt's pitch count would be ~ 60.  Assume that means he starts.

I bet he starts Witt but with Shaw and Tole going down I like being able to keep my cards close to the vest by bringing Witt out of the bullpen. If Travis has a good start tomorrow and you take a lead to the 4th or 5th, then turn it over to Witt. If Travis doesn’t have a good start you have Witt for the if necessary game

Starting anyone but Witt would be monumentally stupid.  He's the Sunday guy at this point, even on a pitch count.

Why do people continue to see value in fucking with a good thing?

You go with Witt and have him on a very short leash.

I mean he hasn’t been good in his starts. Plus without Shaw you end up bringing in guys that are very similar to him to replace him since he’s on a pitch count. 
I would still start him but there’s certainly a case to made for starting someone else.

We're starting Witt and we're beating whoever comes out of that game's ass tomorrow.

Were you onboard with fucking with a good thing up until OU? Actually, we did that at BU, which got it off the rails.

Long ass win streak and jumping out to the Big 12 lead.

MSU barely made the tournament (like almost last in) and landed up winning it all. Ole Miss wasn't as much as dark horse as them. Tomato, toomahto.

Fuck aggy

[troph 24562]

What the fuck happened to one game at a time. I get my tits slapped and then you boys start telling CWS champions. Double standard I tell ya.

[GreenspointTexas 9566]

Im pretty sure we would be in the drivers seat for the directors cup if aggy eliminates stanford and we win tomorrow

[jimmyjazz 45557]

Starting anyone but Witt just plants seeds of doubt.  We are going to be fresher than our opponent.  We've only thrown 3 guys so far. I like our chances of piling up late runs.

Witt would only go 3-4 innings max, anyway.  If he struggles, so be it, but he looked pretty good to me against WVU.  I see no value in tinkering with the rotation.

Ole Miss was the last team in the tournament last year. Mississippi State was the #7 overall two years ago.

[Had Enough 2057]

Yeah, there’s no reason to change it now. I think had we seen Witt in some closing action that’s a different story.

Witt for 5 is likely the plan.

Tonight was significant. To win first and foremost. Then we got a bonus in only using one pitcher.

It is time for the bats to put more pressure on the opponent.

East coast better than west coast. Playing until 1 am our time was bs.

In case yall forgot… LBJ was legendary tonight!!!    Bring on Sunday!!!   Hoping Miami and La go about 15 in game 1.

Your emotional scars from the 1991 Cotton Bowl might not be as severe as mine. 

Oh they are. I was in the 7th grade when that game happened. Watched it with dad. I’ll never forget it, trust me.

That was the most BS series I can remember. Crooked umps and we got dicked on a bunch of game changing calls. 

[Hookem2147 20932]

I haven’t been his biggest fan, but Jack O’Dowd has quietly been pretty solid the last month or so. Was at .259 a month ago and is now at .280. He’s probably average defensively but makes the plays he needs to make the majority of the time.

A month ago I thought we needed to upgrade both middle infield spots this offseason, but I would feel fine if he was our everyday 2B next year batting 7th or whatever. He has 10+ homer pop. Definitely needs to get better against lefties.
