Starting Pitcher for Tomorrow Night

[shoeless joe]

This play is to give ourselves the best chance to win a regional…not just to go into Saturday 1-0.

And like someone said this staff is competitive and has pride in their work. This postseason is a job interview with whoever may have an opening. And even without that they’re gonna compete their tails off. And I suspect these players will do the same for these coaches

Ben Davis dominated a non SEC team in a start. Let's remember that.

This is not Queens bro.

Hell the players are competing for spots on next years roster at this point. Outside of Ace Reese, everyone else is expendable

This is one of the dumbest post ever. Trust me they don't want to lose.

I didn't say he wanted to lose. But, if I'm about to get fired, my give a shit might go out the window.

If we win with Davis, we're set up very well for the rest of the regional.

If we lose... going to be a tough hill to climb but it would've been anyway.

This is the most non-Ron Polk thing ever.

Polk would toss Pico for 5, Williams for 3, and close with Davis

Then probably lose to Florida State 2 times

I like it

It could only be a Ron Polk thing if we were the one playing Bethune Cookman and he threw Pico.

I just don't care. Win, great! Lose, O'Connor!
Hope it works out for Parker & Geaut

[Cowbell]

I like the move myself. How many Friday night ball games did our hitting let us down on. If we are gonna lose, at least we don't use up one of our good pitchers doing it. If our bats come out alive and then we can have a quick hook on Davis and
Use good relievers behind him. We will have to play 4 games most likely so good way to start it.

To win tournaments at some point you have to gamble with pitching. If it works look like a genius. I've had those gambles work and not work for me, but I've won doing it way more than I lost!

Only way State wins this Reguonal is to go 3-0

As we know too well, post-season is all about whose bullpen decides to grow a pair.

We have the bats to win 3-1 or 4-1 as well. It's a softball field. We put 20 on OU the last time we were here. Rally Banana back on board

We can Hope Davis can give us 4 or 5 innings. But we got to swing the bats.

[DEDawg]

Love this move. Let?s go win it all

[Todd4State]

This is not Queens bro.

It's also not Oklahoma or Texas.

It does seem to work more often than not. I think you have to just really know your players and the match ups and also maybe be willing to concede a game to win.

And the reality is this- we're not going to leave this tournament without pitching Pico. If we lose to Behthune Cookman- let's be honest here- we weren't winning this regional anyway even if we had Tarik Skubal on our team.

But hey! Paul Maholm shut down Middle Tennessee State or whoever the four seed was.

Free Shoes University is throwing their Saturday guy today.

Jaime Arnold is their Ace and likely 1st rounder, top-5 picks ... saved for MSU
