Things I like and don't like going in to Supers...

[CadaverDawg]

Like:
- Home field

- Mangum & Westy looked better last week

- Stanford hits breaking balls better than fastballs...and they will be facing Small game 1

- Our experience

Don't like:
- Our bad baserunning vs their Elite catcher

- JT Ginn being questionable

- Their road record

- The way they don't "beat themselves" much, bc we take good advantage of teams making errors

- The weather potentially shortening pitcher outings


What are yours? Or thoughts on mine?

Good ones. Dalbec haunts me

I HATE the JT Ginn situation. A lot of teams have a really good ace and we've shown we can drop a 1-0 or lowing scoring game to teams. Not many teams can match their #2 pitcher to ours though when JT Ginn is on.
I also hate the weather. That can throw a monkey wrench in things. The weather helped us have the postseason we had last year. Delays have hurt us in other years though; you just never know.

I feel very strong in saying that if the weather doesn't interrupt too much and JT Ginn is plays up to his potential, that we easily take the series. If those 2 things go the other way, I'm very nervous.

We would be SEC champs to trade road opponents for comparison

We had Florida, Tennessee, TAM, Arkansas, and OM on the road (15 regional games/6 Super Regional games)

They had Arizona State (0-2 Regional team), and Cal (0-2 Regional team)

We should assume Stanford are really good tho

[Todd4State]

Dislike the 8 PM start before a work day. Thanks ESPN!

[Todd4State]

Still no word. Small tomorrow, Plumlee sunday.

I'm pretty sure that they are hoping that we win two and can rest JT.

[GreenheadDawg]

Still no word. Small tomorrow, Plumlee sunday.

Oh I didn’t know they announced Plumlee for Sunday.

I would add the weather hurting us by cooling things off. If it were 90+ and hot, I think that would've helped us but the rain is going to cool things off. That lessens our advantage. Also, the weather will hurt us with attendance too. Yes, we'll have good crowds but not at all like it would be had the weather been better.

No one should take these games lightly. The same way a few were going into the Arizona game are the same ones going into this Super. Stanford is a solid program that could ruin our chances of Omaha. We need to come out firing on all cylinders and not let off the gas.

Believe it or not, we all know this. It’s a Super Regional. The other team is just as good as us. We gotta bring our A game!!

No they are not. I've said it all year we are the number 1 team in the country...the run to the natty starts here.

None to think of

As I stated before, I think the hardest part of our journey will be getting through the Supers. I think this team wins it all if we get to Omaha. I think we have the most hungry team out there. Also, I’d love to see Duke, Michigan finish the job and Auburn take care of the Heels. If that happens, I think it will be an Arkansas vs MSU Final with us winning it all.
