Right we are lucky we have other options to start other than sims. Let's hope we get a good start from Harding score a few early and go from there

Agreed, but "hopefully" we can at least hold off until at least the 5th. If it's earlier, the day isn't going well for us, and probably won't finish well for us.

Yep sims has to be ready to go at any
moment.

I think Harding is going to slang tomorrow. We still have Stone, Tullar, PJ, etc. Hell, we may even throw Beldar again if we have to.

Our pitching depth will come into play tomorrow and it gives us an edge.

If starting sims tomorrow is a desperate move, then start sims. It's a win or stay home, so I'm fine with being desperate

I honestly like Harding because he may be our most "complete" pitcher that can start. He has 3-4 pitches which is what a starter needs to go deep.

I like watching Ole Miss exit the tourney. Almost better than them not even making it. So close little brother.

If you made me pick a team to win the CWS, I'm taking Arizona. They can really swing it, and their pitching is good enough.

Reason to start drinking and celebrate a little tonight? Woo pig loses, don't have to hear Elko anymore and don't have to look at those awful powder blues. Maybe Bianco will announce he is leaving TSUN and heading to Baton Rouge. The ultimate up your ass to the Rebel faithful would be going to LSU and winning a Natty!

Our thing tomorrow is we can't have a blow up inning where we just gift them runners and then runs. That was the story today, even with our shitty bats. Would've been a totally different game.

That chick that just got the foul ball 40 feet from her chair was the play of the game for UM.

I would actually root for LSU as long as they are not playing us in that case.

Vandy should be the heavy favorites with their 1-2

Yep. Atleast worth 8 runs today. Just did not play it clean from start to finish. Helped extending innings and giving them momentum.

I bought some shorts recently and realized when I got home they were gayby blue. I took them back.

Maybe not 8, but 6

Why stop at third there. They should have scored on that one.

Definitely, but their bats aren't that great. Granted, they don't really need them, but I just wouldn't be surprised if Arizona goes all the way. They're used to playing in a big park, so TD Ameritrade won't be a problem for them.

I've watched Arizona play a lot this year and they are solid team in every phase. Pitching, defense, power, average. Very complete team.

Especially if they get those two bullpen arms back that they suspended. I'll be rooting for them to take game 1 from Vandy in Omaha. I don't want the Dores winning another NC

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.

Uh, we are desperate. It's do or die. ND is desperate, too. Nobody's fooling anybody.

And what only works when your offense rakes? It would have been better if they had given up more runs earlier?

I'm Ok with that. Sims should absolutely pitch tomorrow. I don't have a problem with when but my thing is when do you take him out if you bring him in during the fourth inning or whenever. I think that's the real tricky part about using him in a non traditional role.

Well, I think you have to consider our tendencies as a team.....often, we struggle early, eventually chase their starter or suffer through him, and then punish the pen. Starting Sims doesn't really line up with those realities, strategically, I'm afraid.

That doesn't make sense. It doesn't matter when we score the runs. In fact, starting Sims in that scenario would be more likely to keep us from getting down early as our offense struggles.

When it comes to pitching, our offense doesn't matter. The name of the game is keeping their runs to a minimum. Maximizing Sims' innings gives you your best shot to do that.

It does make sense, actually, and btw, teams that started their closers today are about to be 0-2. We've got plenty of arms that can get us outs. Even if they only pitch an inning each. And I'm not saying don't bring him in early if you have to, and extend him. But we should absolutely go with what got us here, and Houston has been part of that formula.

Yeah the idea is to keep the game from getting away from you early no matter what it takes. It's an absolute must in a one game winner take all scenario
