We need to make a regional.

Waiting to see what happens to the RPI, didn't get much of a boost from the previous win...

we are at 6-12...missouri, sweep puts us at 9-12...not likely, but...possible...

going to come down to Georgia, not necessarily to make Hoover but the outcome of CDS and post season in general.

Win 2 of 3 against Missouri
Lose 2 of 3 against Florida
Win 2 of 3 against LSU

Puts us at 11-16

does taking 2 of 3 from Georgia get us in a Regional? Sweep? A sweep definitely would I think, 14-16 in SEC play.

I hope my math is correct.......

So you are saying 7-8 more wins?


7 more wins and he should keep his job for sure IMO but that wouldn't make a regional without a long trip to Hoover

I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong...and I want you too...because I'm going to enjoy the crap out of the win...but...

CDS is 6-10 versus CTC and has won 2/5 series versus him.

On the surface, that doesn't seem all that good, but I think if one was to look at all of the coaches in the SEC versus Corbin, not too many would have a better record than CDS.

Point being, even with the advantages that everyone recognizes or doesn't...

CDS is a really good coach.

His handling of the pitching situation and your problem with him using Cox is exactly what I'm talking about.

If he would have put Kane or Lipinski in the game yesterday we lose. Had he done it today we lose.

I've never seen a pitching coach be as careful with his pitchers as Serrano...we have not one pitcher that has a complete game...Camp from Auburn comes to mind...so when he put Cox out there today I was surprised, but if that's what it takes...that's what it takes.

And...Cox is a senior and that was a showcase for him.

I have seen CDS overuse no arm until today

The only way he gets a pass if cox has told him he has no interest in pro ball and is entering the real world a month from now

Winning today wasn't worth risking his professional future IMO

Normally I would say agree to disagree and move on.

That's a pile Bruin...if Cox doesn't make some noise his chances of pitching past this get slimmer and slimmer.

Whether or not it was right or wrong by CDS and whether or not Andy's arm was about to fall off, I can almost guarantee that Andy Cox told CDS before the game that he could go today if needed. JMO

Time will tell and I hope it all works out for everyone.....because we need Andy the next month and beyond.

Pitching today was irrelevant for his pro career on the positive side

He is already a senior sign draft and will likely get next to nothing in terms of $.

His only shot to make any $ at all is to make the big leagues. Pitching today could only hurt that not help it

Listening to the game on watch espn the announcers said cox went to serrano before the game and cox said he could go for an inning or two if need be

Agreed on all of that

Matter of fact I would bet a lot of money the kid wanted to pitch

I think anything less than 7 wins shuts out any chance of post season besides Hoover. Lose 2 of 3 from Missouri than Hoover becomes very questionable......

I would be disappointed if Senior Andy Cox did not want the ball in this situation...I'd bet money...I better slow down...I forget we got some serious gamblers up in here...:)


Let's just enjoy this one tiny thing...that's all.

I will also add to support your argument that just because a kid says he can pitch it is up to the coach to make the correct decision.

That is absolutely ridiculous...he pitched 1.1 inning.

where's the post game......I bet $10 CDS has a smile on his face as he sarcastically compliments the great program Vandy has.

FYI, I'm not knocking Vandy's program, they are good, very good. Just that CDS has owned them the last 2 of 3 years.

66

It'd about the 4 very stressful innings yesterday

Again go read some of the recent studies about tommy john injuries. Doctors have basically stated than anything over 2inn 25pitches should result in a day in between outings for each inning over 2 up to 4 days rest max.
