No one wants us to lose. But we will have to win with our depth. There seemed to be some complaining about keeping Phillips on the mound. You aren’t sacrificing your high end arms for a win.

There is some nuance to this discussion. If we win pitching 3 young guys, then fantastic. But winning today and tomorrow has no bearing on what we do going forward.

Bingo bingo! We have a winner!

I’m not saying we should burn arms tomorrow to win. You should throw guys that aren’t going to be the primary contributors next weekend and let the chips fall where they may. If you lose, you lose.

But he was definitely implying he was disappointed we are still playing and worries we aren’t getting enough rest. I mean, these guys are 19-21 years old not 40. We are barely 1/3 of the way through a major league season by game count. Fatigue is not an issue.

I see both sides here. What I don’t understand is, the concern for a plan. They have one, it’s working just fine. Everyone is on regular routine up to now, for the most part. We haven’t really even stretched anybody out. We’re fine as we sit here right now, better than fine.

Recent history from 2021 though is kind of wild with the tournament winners and eventual CWS appearances or national title winners.

I just don’t care about “history” because history is broken every day, every year in sports. Purdue had not made a Final Four in 40 years before this season. History suggested they weren’t going to make it and yet they did.

I don’t know how next weekend is going to turn out, maybe we’ll choke, but all I know is it will have nothing to do with playing on Sunday in Hoover.

Exactly. Thats all I’m saying. No one has been pushed yet. We’re fine.

I don’t see an LSU game forum started yet, so I’ll ask here. How can Volnation negate the hometown feel LSU fans will bring tomorrow. There are a bunch of them and they bring energy.

No, I visit all the forums, just don’t post much in the women’s. It can go south in a hurry over there. When the site was under a different name, I only posted in the football forum. Just really started following the baseball team ( with passion) within the last 4 years but still didn’t sign back up until recently. I just enjoy the conversations and ribbing of each other, as long as it’s done in fun and no personal attacks. Just think we should all act like adults and respect one another.
I appreciate your kind words and the fact that the Dugout has welcomed me. This is the best website going and we owe it all to our Mods.

Many have questioned our pitching. This week proves it’s a strength.

Hopefully their crowd’s energy will be met with the same enthusiasm. They’ll be plenty of orange.

Championships at any level are never guaranteed. Would be awesome to duplicate what the 2022 team did and win the regular season and tournament. These kids deserve it.
