Shouldn't this thread be titled " Zona vs Zima"?
I know some folks have complained about our lineup some or about other stuff but games like this and our game tomorrow are where all of our arms come into play. I like our chances with our depth. Other teams just don't have our kind of depth as has been on display in this postseason
So hopefully this turns us away from starting Sims tomorrow. Arky lost with Kopps starting and now OM is on the ropes. Baseball gods are not happy starting closers apparently?.
I guess their pitching coach teaches them to talk to themselves because that's at least 3 of them that do that
You win the thread.Quote:

10-1 now, still batting in the 4th
Don't let up. Their bats can still come back.
Score 20
Foxhall hinted at Harding for Tomorrow.Quote:

Would be the smart play and then bring in sims at the first high leverage situationQuote:

But honestly we should just start Harding and forget it. Anything else is overthinking.
If he starts Fristoe he should be blasted by the media.
Bianco had to have known this was over when starting Broadway didn't work.
He's probably researching Baton Rouge real estate in the dugout now.*
The only thing is I'm not sure how many times through the order Sims can go. I think anything over three innings we would start to be playing with fire.Quote:

That stupid wall, lol. 1 run off.
Ground rule double, Zona up 11-1
Lol ain't much he can say tonight!Quote:

Arkansas and Ole Miss actually showed panic by starting closers. Dance with the one that brung ya....Harding tomorrow, followed by Stinnett or Johnson, then Sims.
I will say this, atleast when Ole Miss gets to this spot every year they are dependable in the imploding.
Arkansas only gave up 3 runs. Kopps was absolutely the right decision todayQuote:

Except for when they needed a fresh Kopps in the 9th, and didn't have oneQuote:

Agreed. Arky quit hitting after game 1. They celebrated a little to soon. And I don't want to see sims come in AFTER the horse is out of the barn.Quote:

Ark should be good enough to not only hold NCST, but also score enough, that when the game is wired late, they can bring in their All American closer to slam the door. Hell, even if they had rotated guys to bridge to Kopps until...say...the 4th or 5th, he would've had enough juice by then to still be himself in the 9th. When they needed him the most, he gave up the go ahead HR. It was absolutely desperation, from the #1 team in the country no less. Them exploiting him the way they have would never pan out, and it met it's end in the Supers.Quote:
