We absolutely can win it. We have to go with our best though, and I agree with smoot... start sims. I don't think we will, but we absolutely shouldQuote:

Yea, but Ark losing out to an ACC team at home doesn't help my feelings about tomorrow against the ACC champs.Quote:

5 pathetic hits. I think 4 of those were singles.
Maybe big crowds bring out the best in the visiting teams
Once again, I told y’all I didn’t have a good feeling about today….
One run is truly pathetic today and we gave up 9 with Mac on the mound. Better get right for tomorrow!!! It's a new day. They had their day today. It will be our day again tomorrow!!
Well, at least we shouldn't be wearing black tomorrow. Burn those things.
Well, they only scored one more today than yesteday. If we want to advance tomorrow our offense better wake up and fast. Today was pathetic.Quote:

I don't know whether to be positive about tomorrow, or be honest and tell y'all they're going to kick our asses. I'm with msstate7, if somehow Arizona could pull off a miracle tonight and win, I'd feel much better about tomorrow win lose or draw.
Well I partially blame downwarddog since he watched the game and thus started our bed shitting. You are absolutely barred from watching the game tomorrow
Sims better pitch a lot to hold them to 5.Quote:

If we don't start sims, he has to at least be the first guy out the pen
Time to ride your horse or possibly go home!Quote:

I agree, but I think it's a mistakeQuote:

And a pitching coach who's entire starting staff struggles is worthless. They all have control issues (Bednar not as bad), and don't field well. They're all 2 pitch pitchers. All are talented. We limited innings all year for no damn reason (not talking Bianco innings). Notre Dame looks bith more talented and better coached except the pitching talent. Our pitching talent is great! Just poorly coached.
Harding's junk ball pitching might work 2 times thru their lineup.Quote:

Yeah I?m not sure how great Foxhall is even though I liked the hire. I don?t think he?s terrible but I?m not convinced he?s anything special either at this point.
Take Cerantola for instance. Some guys never harness good stuff. but we talked about it in the SEC tourney that his delivery has no rhythm which makes consistency hard. And it?s not like it?s his first year to coach him.
Our SPs at least lately don?t really attack the zone the way most sec top flight guys do. I know why had a ton of Ks this year so we are doing something right but we haven?t had a great SP performance in a while now
You don't have to have go thru the lineup twice scoreless to be successfulQuote:

Things go off the rails, it's Harding, Sims, Fristoe, & Cerentola...lol
Personally I would start sims, but we won't, so I'd go Harding. I thought ND struggled some tonight on Mac's offspeed. Harding might give them some trouble. Then follow him with sims. That change in velocity would be toughQuote:

He's better IMO. Stone could get innings too if we have to burn up Sims early.Quote:
