He is something like a 24 year old 5th year senior with absolutely no pro future. He could care less about arm damage.

Could "not" care less

Why have none of this regional's games been on any of ESPN's tv channels when so many other regional games have? I've watched all MSU games on WatchESPN of course. Just wondering why this regional didn't rate TV.

He threw over 110

There is very little chance Pilk would pitch but if in game 2 we were up by one with runners on in the 9th u can bet he would come in to get the last couple of outs.

Yes, I was a pitcher too and I strongly believe pitchers are babied in current baseball with the pitch counts. Each pitcher should be viewed differently based on their mechanics, how much effort/stress they put into each pitch and how often they are in high stress innings. A guy like Ross Mitchell could throw 200 pitches and run a 1/2 marathon 4 hours later if needed. Someone like Trevor Rosenthal however needs to have his pitch count monitored heavily cause he goes max effort on every pitch.

I was a pitcher too, and I agree with everything you just said. However, that doesn't change the point of what we were discussing, which is that Pilk is done this Regional. If you want to debate pitchers being babied these days...I'm in total agreement with you

Highly doubtful. But I hope we get to find out

If Pilk comes in and gets a few outs in GM2, he gets 2 cheesecakes!!

Guess we will find out Cann's mindset on this soon enough. Mark me down as thinking he will run Pilk out for 1-2 innings in game 2. I have no problems admitting when I am wrong.

Haha if we win a natty I am making Cheesecake Factory t-shirts for this board and yours will be free of charge

Starting to look like we may not get to play at all. Lots of storms building in New Orleans area and moving NE.

Mods should rename the thread "pregame thread."

Yea I was just thinking, only MSU fans could have a 3+ page baseball game thread with no game.

Have they ruled out the 3:30 start yet?

Official word: If not completed by Tuesday, the higher seed advances.

So does that mean we can finish ON Tuesday? Or it has to be completed BEFORE Tuesday? This is a damn joke, we should have completed one game this morning

If this thing comes down to the seeding rule, I don't know that I would ever recover from that. Southern getting to advance without us even getting to play would just be a garbage way for this thing to end.

They aren't going to throw their Game 1 starter on 3 days rest in a non-elimination game. And they may not throw him at all if it jeopardizes him being full strength in the Super Regional. If we can take the first game that their ace doesn't pitch, we move into "anything can happen" territory in the 2nd game, and that's really all we can ask for. I think we benefit more from the extra day than they would.

Just wait till Hevesy conversation comes up

Tarp back on. If we don't get anything in today then game 1 should be played at 9am Tmr and then game two whenever possible after that

It would suck, but another way to look at it....our chances aren't great of beating them 2 straight with our remaining pitching. So we'd always be able to say the only way they could beat us in a Regional is to have it rained out and it given to them.

Hev likely was behind the decision to play at 1pm instead of 10am today.*

Carskadon is saying by end of Tuesday. Stupid rule is stupid.

Lazy ass just didn't want to wake up before noon**

I suspect we get one in tonight. When the sun goes down and the temp decreases a bit I suspect the rain will subside until temps begin to rise tomorrow. So play one tonight and one at 9am. U knw southern is praying for continued rain

According to the NCAA rules the games can be played on Tuesday. There is a 70% chance of rain Tuesday. Mainly after 1 PM. Wash Rinse Repeat.

load the damn buses and head to Trustmark Park

Yep. Recruited a 2 star meteorologist to give him weather reports.

Will be this be the first time a team will end their season in the playoffs on a winning note?

USM wanted to play at 10 and the NCAA said no.

Ha, I want to beat USM bad but we are playing for the right to go to Baton rouge on short rest. IT will be great to claim that we made a super but the outlook on the baseball season looks about as dreary as the weather from here on out.

I will say if USM goes they have no chance. We cold probably make it go all 3 games if we can get Pilk back by game 2.

Lol, go back and read my posts on the first page of this thread.

LSU is going to cruise regardless of which team they get. Neither one of these teams are worth a chit.

USM board. And I don't know. Maybe they thought MSU finishing last night and then coming back to play at 10 was too quick a turnaround.

Anybody watching the AM Houston game? What a ****ing joke Houston is with their AstroTurf mound. Whole field for that matter. NCAA should never let them host.
