I liked our lineup today, but would consider getting Cole out of the DH spot and maybe flip flopping Vansau & Macnamee. Macnamee is locked in at the plate right now it seems. Mangum hit well.
Let's hope USM vs USA starts and then has a long rain delay after 3-5 innings in a tight game. Then hope & pray McQ can throw strikes. If we will stop walking people we can win a few more
I want to see USA win this game after 21 innings of nail biting baseball that gets split by two long rain delays and cuminates tomorrow at 1pm
Don't even have to be rain delays... 22-21 USA and both teams go thru 6-7 pitchersQuote:

Does it really matter? Gonna take about 8 runs, our next game is kinda like a Sunday game in the Sec.
Glad to see Jake hitting, also Rooker is swinging and missing more than he has all season, maybe tonight that changes.
37 wins still amazes me.
McQ, Plumlee, Billingsly, maybe one of them pitches the game of their life tonight! Probably will need all 3.
Pilk should be well rested by tonight :)
So will Self****Quote:

If USA loses, pitch McQuary. If USM loses pitch JB. USM has already lit up McQuary once this year.
That was before McQuary started to improve and a lot of those runs were because of Jolley pitching pretty badly himself. That said, I would be a lot more comfortable with McQuary against USM.Quote:

USA bailing the USM pitcher out. K and a pop up
Now another single.
USA 2 USM 1 after 1 inning
USM pitcher - 22 pitches
USA pitcher - 28 pitches
Exactly what we want. Stay very close and hopefully both teams burn a lot of armsQuote:

Both pitchers over 30 pitches. Get to 50 and they're both pretty much burnt. Need some offense these next few innings
2-2
USA pitcher up to 47 pitches. USM WITH 2 on and 1 out. Bullpen is busy
USM back up 3-2, man on 3rd w/2 outs
3-2 USM headed to b3
USA pitcher at 50+ pitches
Both of these teams are going to have to use their bullpens unless their starters get in a groove and start having quick innings.
3 innings complete
3-2 USM
USM starter - 45 pitches
USA starter - 54 pitches
USA bringing in new pitcher (Zack Melton?)
USM down in order in the t4, 10 pitches
USM 3 USA 2
headed to b4
A year after 2016 National Championship Series- East Carolina is done and Arizona is down 9 to Sam Houston State
Bulldogs - minus a complete pitching staff - still ALIVE!
Through 4 innings
3-2 USM
USM starter looking sharp now, only 50-55 pitches through 4. Not what we wanted, but it's early
Thought Price deserved better. Really two cheap hits. I personally would have never pulled him. Self hasn't been his strike throwing self over his last 3 appearances
I think he's pressing Bc he no longer has Price behind him. It's a lot of pressure for a Freshman to know he's the last line of defense. Just my opinionQuote:

Looking like we'll play USA this evening. Still several innings left, but USM looks to be the much better team
