I can't say that was wrong. 7-8-9 were coming up and Gordon's pitch count was low. I really have no problem with him facing 1 batter and seeing what happens. Unfortunately that dude got a hit, we pulled Gordon and 11 runs later, we are all pissed off. It sucks, but we weren't winning this tournament. If we somehow beat Arkansas later today, we may have to forfeit tomorrow due to lack of arms.

hind site says he should have left him in--he would not have walked 6

We also wouldn't host even if we won the tourney, so it's pretty moot. Would have been nice to hang a banner though. Honestly, this team just needs to go home and get ready for the regionals. Continuing to stretch out our thin pitching for an unattainable goal (hosting) is something we could pay dearly for when the games that matter begin. That's exactly what happened to us in 2012 when we had an almost identical SEC record and resume heading into Hoover.

Are you saying we shouldn't take our 6 good pitchers and throw them until their arms fall off?
