Why are some scared?

[basedog]

Because Horka might kick your ass... **

I don't think so.

[msstate7]

What an analysis.

So if we have to use bednar Saturday rather than Monday, we have the same chances of winning it all? Didn't think this was a hot take

[Maroonthirteen]

Facing Madden a 3rd time doesn't worry me. Here is why..... Tuesday v McGarry, State batters improved their ABs with each at bat v McGarry. By 3rd AB, we ran him to the dugout.

I feel confident. State figured out some things on Madden Sunday and will be confident at the plate tonight. If we see him again, State will hit the ball better than on Sunday.

I think we will too. Texas will most likely hit Harding much better than they did bednar and Mac the first time though too

It wasn't. You're not wrong.

[Todd4State]

I don't think so.

Unless you are built like a sixth grade boy like Horka I like your odds sight unseen.

[Jack Lambert]

I worry that we can't score enough against Texas. We'll need more than 2 runs tonight.

We have scored enough twice.

LOL, far from a 6th grader plus I have a huge advantage, I’ve seen that asshole, easy win!

Only way Bednar plays a significant role in the championship series is if we win tonight pitching Harding. IF Bednar pitches tonight or tomorrow night I don't see him pitching again until Wednesday in the championship series and there is no guarantee that there will even be a Wednesday game if we don't win one of the first two. There wasn't a Wed game the last time when we played UCLA.

We are going to beat their ass

[Jack Lambert]

I think all four remaining teams have the same problem. Us and NC State do have the advantage.

At the end of the day we are just a better team than them. Not by much but they get a little extra mystique just by being Texas.

Concur and I think the bats are heating up. LoTan and Clark started seeing it late against VA, that's a good sign for us. It just took a minute but I think we're about to get hot at just the right time.

Our State. Our Time. Let's roll!

[Johnson85]

Max Scherzer still carves the same teams all year long, year after year

It's not a matter of being scared it's about giving you the best chance to win.
Madden vs Bednar 50-50
Madden vs Houston 70-30.

The flip side of that is if you think Bednar is that much better than Harding, then if we lose, we get to throw Bednar on Saturday against their third best starter, which presumably would put us at something like 70-30 in favor to win versus a 50-50 matchup with Harding. If you believe those odds, us winning one of the two is closer to 80% with Harding then Bednar as opposed to 75% going Bednar then Harding.

Yeah, I feel like several of our guys are close to breaking out. Rowdey and TA are going to be reliable, Kam has put some good swings on the ball, Hancock has had good ABs, Dubrule is heating up. I think if Cumbest and Clark continue to provide at the bottom of the order, we're going to win it all.

[Cowbell]

What an analysis.

LOL I was thinking the same thing

[Cowbell]

Kind of interesting how one great outing can change everyone's perspective on a pitcher. Its like folks think Bednar is going to pitch like he did this past Sunday every time he goes out. I guess people have forgotten that the outing prior to the CWS, in the SR, when Bednar started we had to win 9-8 and Bednar got knocked out fairly early. Harding was by far the best starter we had in the SR. My only point is that there is no guarantee that Bednar, in a second round with Texas, will have more success than Harding will, who they have never faced. Guess I will let the coaches make the call since its what they are paid to do. Lemonis makes the correct decision more times than not.

You get it!

Amen to that
