The good news I guess is if Vandy comes back with Rocker Friday and Leiter Saturday, even to use them just on Tuesday and Wednesday of the championship series they would be on really short rest. Not sure how long they could go.

That makes me sick. I can't stomach getting to the NC series and losing to Vandy. I can stomach losing to anyone else, but it would be just our luck to get all the way there and have to play Vandy.
If they pitch Rocker Friday and leiter Saturday considering they win, they?ll pitch that freshman game 1 I bet with rocker coming back Tuesday to seal the deal and Leiter on Wednesday just in case. I mean yeah it is short rest but we all know how Corbin likes to abuse his pitchers
Maybe they burn NC State's best pitcher Saturday and NC State wins, and we get a NC State staff without their Ace? One can dream. Does Nc State have a hoss or two, or what's their pitching like?
Vandy has needed some lucky shit to win their 2 games.
Dang guys y'all act like Vandy is invincible well they're not. I'll take our team against any of the one left.
Definitely know we can beat them, but mentally you know it gets in college kids heads since they've had to hear all year how Rocker and Leiter are going 1 and 2 in the draft. Maybe it motivates our guys...I just know I'd rather play a team with less MLB arms.
Exactly. And it's not just Rocker and Leiter, either. They've got tons of talent. We just struggled for 7 innings with a guy who was 0-5 on the season, but he had a live arm; Vandy has lots of guys like that, plus the pedigree of having been there before and won it all. I really don't want anything to do with that.
This is the hard thing and why I wanted Stanford to win. Vandy is still really tough to beat with Rocker and Leiter even on short rest and on the other hand you have NC State making a coastal Carolina run. Either face MLB arms or a destiny team? Which one would you rather face?
Now I know we have made a run as well and need to continue our hot streak on Friday, but I would have felt better if it was NC State/Stanford winner
