Regional Game 2: Stare vs Virginia

[Commercecomet24]

Have we won 3 in a row this season without using Stephen and lo?

Nope, maybe lo can turn around and throw lefty for a game. I'm only half kidding

That seems like a decent idea

[DawgFromOxford]

In a tie game in the top of the 9th 2 outs already you have to play for a run; you can't afford the luxury of playing for an insurance run. If you can't hold them to 0 in the B9 then that's on the pitcher. If the pitcher gives up a run in the B9, youd still go to the T10, where Jordan would hit that homer you speak of and give us another chance to close it out.

You play to score Mershon. WIth 2 outs, you have to have him on 2nd

Not saying you?re wrong. Just saying I understand the logic

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

The 9th inning rally didn't start until we already had 2 outs. That didn't leave us many options. If DJ was up and Mershon got caught stealing 2nd all hell would have broken loose.

Sending Mershon was without a doubt the right move. Would people have bitched if he got caught? Obviously. But a coach has to make the calls that give him the best chance to win

No, we aren't going to beat VA 2 in a row. We've only won one road series all year and haven't beat anyone 2 of 3 on the road the caliber of Virginia (who is definitely better than Vandy). That's why I thought it was ridiculous when some were saying we SHOULD win this regional. We HAD to have this game but couldn't get it.

Auger starting against St. John's

Do not know if I like that idea.

Vs St Johns. Start Pico. When we pull him, put in lefty Loo and then if that goes south you pull out all stops and put Dohm in there to stop the bleeding. But if Loo can give you a couple vs St Johns, then thats a big coup.

Auger and Davis vs UVA in the night game can get a win. Bats have to show up on Monday though, no way around it

[Cooterpoot]

If we lose this regional it might be the end of Gautreau here. If not it should be.

Lemonis dorsnt have the sack. That would be his two top asst he's fired. He needs to look in his wide mirror.

[basedog]

Virginia has too many sticks in their lineup, they can hit and I hope we beat St John but it’s gonna be difficult for us to out slug them.

This staff made decisions not to go all in after the win tonight. We doing it against St Johns LOL.

I strongly dislike it.

YOu have ot win 2 games tomorrow. Winning the fist and loosing the 2nd is no better than losing the 1st.

Who are we more likely to mash tomorrow? St Johns pitching or UVA pitching? Obviously, if we are going to see an offensive explosion that allows us to get away with saving the good arms, it's vs St Johns. Auger should be saved vs the team we need to hold offensively

We won?t smash anybody

[Commercecomet24]

If I'm the coach I would rather have my bullpen game aginst St. John's than uva. If we pitch pico or auger against St. John's then we only have one legit starter to go aginst uva while needing 2 wins. Gotta play to win the regional and saving auger and pico against uva would give us the best chance. St. John's is thin in pitching and honestly if we can't beat them throwing a bullpen game we aren't gonna win the regional anyways. Start Scheulke or siary or whoever and go from there

Maybe we have a change of heart. Long time til 11 AM.

No, he won't fire him but I personally can't see us ever getting back to Omaha with the Lemonis/Gautreau combo.

100% agreed. Feels like Lemo can't decide if he's playing to win the regional or save face by getting another W

Yeah winning the first game means nothing if you have no bullets left in the gun. If you have to win 3 games(and that's our task to win the regional) you're gonna have at least one bullpen game to do it. Who would you rather that be against? The number 12 team in the country or St. John's? No brainer to me but I don't make
Millions to coach either lol

Thank you. St John's gave up 9 to Penn today! Lemonis has already announced Auger for tomorrow morning. What a wuss decision.

He had the sack to fire his friend midseason. If the boosters force the issue I could totally see him making the change.
