Looks like Pollo starting Friday

[Will James]

Good. This per Kendall Rogers btw.

[Coach34]

aye yi yi

[msstate7]

Bet it goes pollo, bracewell, Ross

Sounds right.

[Todd4State]

I'm a little surprised since we don't know who we are playing. Maybe they feel he will be effective vs. either one. He can throw it down the pipe and it's probably not going out.

How does ball carry day vs night?

This is true- you have to be Mark McGwire circa 1997 to hit it out of there with those bats

It doesn't carry there any time of the day.

[Lefthandersrule]

Ball carries better at night. But that doesn't really matter the Coached decided that Pollo will go against the Yankees, Padres, or whoever.... Think it's interesting that they all of the sudden change how they ann

[I seen it dawg]

If this is true, which I'm not believing yet, I ****ing hate it with all I have. That being said lets get after it you little ****er and get thru a few innings.

[Hump4Hoops]

If he goes 3 solid innings without giving up a bomb, I'll be satisfied.

I'm sure that's all Cohen wants out of him (1 time through lineup)

I'd rather do that with Bracewell myself

[I seen it dawg]

I hate gambling on this move. He's pushing all the right buttons though.

I'll tell you whether I agree or disagree about 2:30-2:45 Friday.

I really don't see it as a gamble, it was either Pollo or Lindgren for me.

[TexasDawg]

Looks like Cohen's confident we will beat Or St/Indiana Friday and he wants Graveman to be as fresh as possible for game 1 next week

[I seen it dawg]

We beat the hell out of this in another thread. We won't ever agree on it.

[The Croom Diaries]

I am shocked Cohen would announce this early. But if we can win this game with Pollo, BB and Ross we are set up pretty good.

The move doesn't shock me (starting Pollo), but I'm with you. What benefit does announcing early give you?

[Sandman14]

there could be several reasons. he may even be trying to influence OSU in their pitching decisions. they have some quirky stuff going on with the ace coming out of the bullpen now.

one thing for sure: there are reasons...good ones..

[I seen it dawg]

Maybe a little gamesmanship going on as well. I'm not opposed to that.

Where was it seen as an announcement?

[Goat Holder]

Talk about endearing ourselves in Omaha lore forever. If we manage to win this thing with our unconventional pitching, beard craze, bench mob, sledge-hammer, hard work sob story antics............THEN add a 5'5" Mexican pitcher to the mix..........we will become America's college team.

By the way, it's looking like #MState will go with LHP Luis Pollorena later this week (Friday). #Bulldogs like how Pollorena matches w/ TDA

Fixed it for you


Talk about endearing ourselves in Omaha lore forever. If we manage to win this thing with our unconventional pitching, beard craze, bench mob, sledge-hammer, hard work sob story antics............THEN add a 5'5" Mexican pitcher who is a cancer survivor to the mix..........we will become America's college team.

You are right. We do have great story lines. If a cancer survivor has a great game the media should go nuts.

[Spider-Man]

I like this move. Pollorena does tend to give up fly balls. This is a cavernous park, let's let the speed of our OF go make plays for him. Cohen isn't playing just to make it to the championship series, he's playing to win the whole ****ing thing.

Absolutely. I love it. Why the hell not?

[Coach34]

if there was ever a park that helps Pollo- it's TDA

[Will James]

Kendall Rogers wrong again. According to Bob Carskadon it's Graveman. Quoted John as saying "Kendall's probably going to be our guy".

This means he definitely can't go Game 1 of the championship series and Game 2 would be on 3 days rest.
