I was thinking they closed beer sales after the 7th anyway. Maybe not.Quote:

That's 9 out of 10 y'all! Another big win!
A decisive victory.
Oh yeah! Way to save that pitching boys!
Wrap it. That is the way you start the weekend. Hail State
Great win!
Does anyone know the last time we run ruled someone on Friday night?
and run-ruled a ranked team on Friday night?Quote:

They do.Quote:

And then we're probably going to have to play North Alabama and their awful RPI and then Mizzou is likely going to be in the 90's RPI wise. So really after this weekend and next we don't really have any opportunities to move up very much.Quote:

What I loved the most about tonight was the AB's we took. Hunter Hines hit a home run to left center. And it absolutely warmed my heart. Since he has started to use the whole field he has gotten hot and the home runs have started to come because it's harder to pitch to him. That's when pitchers have to gamble in his happy zone and then he pulls one into RF for a home run.
And even in the Governor's Cup- we hit a LOT of balls right back up the middle for singles. That's a good sign.
We look like a completely different team right now than we did before Vanderbilt.
W black on the roster makes one wonder who is? Makes it tough to know.Quote:

Arkansas on the road will be hard. But Ark has lost 5 games, so they can lose.
Winning 4 of 8 is 17-13 in the SEC, most likely hosting a regional. As a lower Seed, heading back to College Station or Fayetteville for a potential Super. There are no easy supers.
Great win!
I tell you, this team is starting to feel a lot like 2016. We lost focus at one point up 12 runs, but things are looking like they're falling into place late in the season.
I was surprised when Black came out. It would be nice if they posted the SEC roster somewhere each week. MLB does this daily with all of their injury moves so not sure why we can't or don't.Quote:

The other 1-2 as I am assuming we are going with 12-13 pitchers are the mystery. Although Pico might be one because I thought I heard someone say that they might use him this weekend if needed although I personally would shut him down for this series given his injury history and the fact he threw 55 pitches and then give him an extra day off and maybe pitch him against Arkansas and see how it goes.
Brain fart. Thanks. I knew that. So if we lose one to Missouri the roi won't go up. Even winning the series.Quote:

My RPI workbook says we probably need to be 19-11 to host. We could get there at 18-12 if some other "hosting bubble" teams falter and drop below us.
Also, I'm working on the assumption that the committee very closely aligns the hosts to the top 16 RPI teams with maybe just 1 or 2 deviations to other teams in the teens, but the committee isn't always consistent from year to year, so it's all pretty uncertain.
I've never heard any talk of Black? Who is this cat?
We’ve seen him in a few stints. After one of his good outings, I thought we would see him more. He may have had a bad outing I missed, but the game I saw he looked pretty dang good and good velo. Thought he may emerge as a closer but we haven’t seen him in a while till last night. I thought I remember upper 90s when I saw him but I may be mistakenQuote:

I think we get a host spot with 17. I'm going off of recent trends with the committee.Quote:

The SEC is going to get at least 5 hosts. Probably six or 7. If we are top 20 RPI we almost assuredly hostQuote:

Of course it's all moot because we're going to finish with 19 or 20 SEC wins anyway.
