Exactly! Or sell them to me and I'll be there for every game!

Same with softball damnit!

Kind of reminds me of the year OU got in over us because of Trae Young

Accurate

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Quick look at Niagara, they went 38-15 and 20-4 in the MAAC. It appears their best win was splitting a pair with James Madison.

They finished 103 in the RPI with a SOS of 288.

Complete lack of respect for Big 12

Does Josh/Robb DARE going down staff for Niagara and having Garcia for Saturday and Holiday/Benge for Sunday?

I would strongly consider that approach. We play in second game on Friday so have benefit of knowing outcome of Neb/UF.

Could be a great spot for a Davis/Molsky/Bogusz appearance, maybe not in that order.

Agree. I was thinking Tommy as starter honestly.

 

[Stilly2OMAOKC]

Also I like that we are matched up with the Clemson regional. Worked out well for us last time.

Wonder if they moved fences out since we last played there? It seemed liked every fly to the OF had a chance to be a HR.

Did great in that spot against the squats. Tommy start, pending how long and well he can go have Bogusz and Blake on deck, hopefully youre comfortably ahead enough that's all you need. Then Garcia/Holiday/Benge are all untouched for starts in as many games as needed, Davis, O'Toole primed up for relief, and Cranz ready for closing. God forbid more than that is needed, you're throwing the kitchen sink anyway.

All this said, still no clue what's going on with Keisel.

Or Ure…

Or Ure…

You haven't given up hope on seeing him for more than 5 pitches at a time?

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

Nebraska will use that guy against Florida most likely, right?

Maybe….i hope so. Their ace has a 2.02 ERA…that’s top 5 nationally

I'd think you can't risk not winning game one when you're a 2/3 seed

 

[cowboyinexile]

Why are we whining about getting an undeserving team in our regional? Isn't that good for us?

This was my thought. I think it sucks that someone who deserved to be there isn't but as much as we have gotten screwed over by the ncaa over the years it's nice to benefit from their incompetence for a change.

I think Florida maybe doesn't deserve to be there by results, but is also the kind of team that has the talent to get hot and make it to Omaha.

I agree…but you just never know. Some coaches are bigger gamblers than others.

 

[Pistol Pete's Mustache]

“Saving” pitchers in this sotuation is risky and has bitten us before, but it feels like the right move, especially since the bullpen just beat OU in the conference championship game. I hope UF and NU beat each other up into extra innings and our starters can take over:

Ole Miss from a few years ago would agree with this!

Yep that’s the one seed advantage. Have the luxury of getting by with a down staff guy most of the time. Our offense should be good enough to carry us through

I agree but I have a feeling we'll see Garcia on Friday.
