    I think our team shows up tonight with fire and grit. Backs to the wall, they get it done. Hail State!

    So anyone want to take a shot at who we start tonight? I imagine it's Harding, but I could see us going bullpen to try to keep them off balance early and then getting the ball to Landon.

    I kinda hope they're stupid and start Rocker tonight. It won't happen because he's on short rest, but if they pitched him and we some how won, we'd win tomorrow. It's like a band aid imo. Just rip it off now.

    Maybe, maybe not. First if we are going to lose, i'd like to go down fighting and at least win one.

    Second, we can get Rocker with right approach at plate. We swung at too many balls he threw first time. And if Bednar is on, it could be like a 3-2 game. Get Rocker pitch count up and him out and we can get it done.

    Haha I'm the opposite. If we're going to lose, I'd rather not pay $300+ per ticket for another game. Of course, I'd do it, but my bank account is suffering up here lol

    They can't afford to start Rocker tonight on short rest. They have to keep him for tomorrow v Bednar. Honestly they probably feel confident they can beat Hootie today without him though.

    Let's hope Sims can give us 7 innings of shutout baseball. Just fill up the zone and let the stuff do work.

    Christian Little if I had to guess.

    4.87 ERA, 47 Ks, 18 BBs in 40.2 IP. Just a freshman, but his stuff is good.

    Thanks, Beardo!

    To McBuckethead, your track record of 4 out of 5 was commendable. 🙂

    I feel great about tonight... which means we'll lose by 6.

    But this team has responded with it's back against the wall all year. I just don't see them laying down.

    I agree with this 100%. I was there last night and will be there again tonight. We basically played them evenly for 8 innings. Game 1 against Leiter was not an anticipated victory anyways. I still think we win the next 2. After attending in person both the 2013 and 2021 finals, we have got to get an early lead and keep the crowd engaged somehow. UCLA and Vandy have both killed our homefield advantage in Omaha.
