2-0, fellas. In the driver's seat.
Well the goal was to win the first two. Goal accomplished.
New goal? Let's end this thing tomorrow and get ready for next week.
Very hard to see VCU or Campbell beating us twice.
Way to hang tough and score some freakin' runs. One more time and on to the Super
Big time win. I was nervous when they pulled within 2, but our guys responded and swept the leg. That's what I've been wanting to see. I knew Kam would show back up when he got away from SEC arms, so that was good to see. Give me Fristoe tomorrow and let him win this thing for us.
His HR numbers aren't worse than Mac's or Bednar's. He's struggled recently but that's not what the post said. I'm not saying pitch him 6 innings. Let him go one time through the order, get them used to gas, and then let Harding come out of the bullpen which is his better role anyway. You have your opinion, I have mine. Just because mine is different doesn't mean I'm "not paying attention"
What I said was Fristoe has been giving up a lot of HRs "lately". Is it more than Mac or Bednar? Dunno, but certainly feels like it. The difference is he's been a once through the lineup guy all year. His stuff isn't as good as theirs. Harding has been better for about a month. I'm kind of expecting to see Harding get the start and holding Fristoe in case there's a game 4. If Fristoe is off, it could be 4 or 5 to 0 by the time we get Harding warm.
Yes. And I don't understand why some have continued to be allowed to fail over and over and why Harding who literally had that one bad start and has otherwise performed as a starter against good competition was immediately put back into his bullpen role.
But the reality is with the other teams pitching situation we should be Ok with whoever we go with assuming "that's baseball" doesn't happen to us twice in a row.
In hindsight starting Bednar was the right move with this field. The best chance we had of losing was yesterday. It is easy for fans to say start your midweek or third guy against a four but that's only logical if you have an elite ace- which I don't feel we have- and you're facing a four that has very little chance of beating you. The reality is Samford had a decent- probably 15-20% chance of beating us with their ace as opposed to Southern two years ago who had about a 2-3% chance.
