And LSU gets an easier regional than UF. Shocker

Lets go men!

Anybody going?

Anybody going?

Not unless a game is delayed until Monday. If they win the regional I will consider going to a super regional game. How about you?

I'm off this week, so I'd like to.

Thinking about it

I'll be at Lake Lure this weekend and next weekend and everything in between but I'm sure the ballpark will be filled up for regionals, and hopefully supers if we make it. We do have a hard regional but if we can't beat these teams at home then there's no way we stand a chance in Omaha anyway.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

not saying we have the easiest, but i wouldnt describe our bracket as hard. uconn and tt on the surface looks solid but each have a lot of flaws that will be apparent over a few games worth of play. and if we have to play an SEC opponent in supers, i am thrilled that its usc. they swept us early so we will really be motivated to exact revenge at home, and they are slumping more than any other sec team selected. if we cant win the regional and the super than we simply dont belong in omaha.

i'll add that caglionone having another bad outing last game may work to our benefit. he's got some time to once again refocus and hes come back strong after having a stinker so having that 1 game prior to start of the ncaas may be the best case scenario.

@FireFoley who do we throw in Game 1?

@FireFoley who do we throw in Game 1?

I'm not FF but based on previous regionals since Sully has been here I believe he has stayed with the regular rotation. However he did make a change in the Kentucky series and the SEC tourney last week by starting Waldrep instead of Sproat. BUT, I believe that was due to a rain delay screwing up the rotation during the Vandy series.

I'm with you. It's double elim and if you win #1 and #2 you are in the finals for one more or possibly two to move on. Your opponent will be on their weekday starter for the first final and if they get by the strategy is everyone get loose for game two. Go and get the win in game one.

No chance sully throws Sproat Friday

No chance sully throws Sproat Friday

I make no prediction but that is exactly what Sully has done for every other regional. But in this case, Waldrep has had one more day of rest than Sproat.

It's 1 or 1a, it will not be Cags or Tejada or any other spot starter.

I agree but you never know. Tejada started and won the FA&M game in April. He pitched 4 innings and gave up 2 runs and 2 walks.

I am in agreement with @Bullag8r as Sully usually sticks to his weekend rotation in the regionals. The only reason Sully changed a bit at year end was due to the Waldrep rain situation and then the Thursday series start,. But there has been plenty of time to get their arms ready for the regular rotation. If it was me I would pitch Cags this Friday but b/c he is not just random, but a complete wildcard, you can't risk him puking and using the entire bullpen in game 1.

I totally agree. I would pitch Cags in hopes of lifting his confidence. He has had his struggles locating his fastball. If he gets in trouble I think we still beat F A&M

 

[PhD Gator]

Looks like Cags will start on Friday

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Well he'll be fresh after a week off and almost no pitches last time.
