Paul Skenes on the bump against 19-40 Tulane today

Doesn't make a lot of sense does it? If you can't beat tulane with your #2 and all those bats you probably ain't going very far anyway.
We burned him against MTSU, who we could have beaten throwing a mid week guy. Got waxed by UNC the next day and had to beat Missouri that night to stave off elimination. Funny enough we were a Papelbon blown save from having Maholm ready to go for the final game. And we would have hosted a Super because the national seed we were matched up with had lost. I still have not completely forgiven Polk for wasting Maholm.
I'm watching this Cravey kid pitch against usm. We need to give him a call.
So does Arky choke early this year? Down 2 zip in the 2nd
And down goes usm in extras, 4-2.
There are 11 unhappy USM fans now
Did they change ESPN coverage for the NCAA tournament to ESPN+ this year? Most of the games have been on ESPN+. I don't seem to recall it being this way last year
I like Polk, but he was a good fundamentals coach (outside of bunting) and very mediocre game coach. He made some seriously retarded decisions like the one ya’ll are talking about. His team’s approach at the plate seemed to be look fastball and adjust to the fastball 100% of the time. Anyone with a half decent curve was shutting us down. I don’t know how many important games we lost because t-ball teams could bunt better than his teams could.
We could field the ball and pre-game infield was a well choreographed Vegas show that was entertaining and no one could argue better than Polk. I have a love hate relationship with Polk.
The Fighting Butch Thompsons are in trouble
