since that’s what I said. You don’t take the ball from his hands when he’s dominating like that. That’s it.

As I said, we'll agree to disagree. But, less than 1% of starting pitchers face the order 4 times according to Baseball Prospectus and there is a legitimate reason for that.

@Catbone where you at?

He gone...
Prolly over in the softball thread talking
GBO!!

I believe Vandy was ranked #1 at the time. Lost both series to #1.

I think you could easily argue that Vandy was a better team when we matched up than they are today.

I agree. After we broke Leiter, Vandy wasn't the same.

 

[NorCalVol67]

I am out of beer, gin and tequila, and it is too early for brown.

 

[VolnJC]

The only series lost were against two of the best in the nation. And we had opportunities to win both of those.

I am pumped.

We could have won both those series...especially the Arky one...2 one run losses cost us an SEC championship...Im not griping cause we didn't really lose them they made plays but still that one stings

 

[TheMookieMonster]

UK up 1-0 early. Leadoff home-run to start the game.

Because they get pulled for pitch counts or giving up runs…He did because a dominant (and efficient) day like Tidwell’s doesn’t happen everyday.

2-0 in the 2nd.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

So someone with more knowledge than me, help me out here. The tourney starts Tuesday morning, right?
If Vandy wins, hypothetically when and who are we playing?
If vandy loses today...
GBO!!

 

[VolnJC]

State ties it up at 3...never trust a Bammer to help us with anything

Poor planning.

I did this one sober. Going to head out to the NHRA Spring Nationals here in a bit. Get my redneck on and drink some Nattys.

2-0 in the 2nd.

Well if the damn Sec + stream would work on Xfinity I would tune in.

I am pumped.

Arkansas, the nation’s unanimous top-ranked team, also clinched its 10th SEC series win of the year. The Hogs (41-10, 21-8 SEC) and the 2013 Vanderbilt Commodores are now the only two SEC teams in history to win all their conference series in a season.

 

[VolnJC]

Georgia ups their lead to 5-2 State takes lead 4-3

 

[6-4-3]

At that point, I think you go batter to batter. As soon as the first baserunner gets on, pull him. Not after two singles and a double.

At the end of the day, doesn’t matter. Enjoy the win and let’s roll! GBO!!!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Good thing these games don't really matter for us anymore. It's all about UK/Vandy.

 

[fryeguy93]

Top 4 are set
order tbd
Arkansas
Vanderbilt
Tennessee
Mississippi State

Commodores are down early to UK
Vols will finish 2nd or 3rd
Vanderbilt will finish 2nd or 3rd
Because of tiebreaker, Miss State can’t pass either. Vols win last week against Ark is the tiebreaker.
Miss State’s series win against Ole Miss guarantees 4th spot

Those 4 teams should get half the national seeds
I’m not sure if any of the other teams will host in 2 weeks unless they get hot in tourney or unless they host as 2 seeds

 

[GhostVol]

That .com address behind the plate at the Vandy game has a typo in it....

Someone hit "V" when they meant "F"

Pretty impressive that we only lost 2 series and they were to Arkansas and Vandy.

There are also 3 Texas teams that have nice resumes plus they gotta give one to PAC12 school like Oregon or Zona...plus Fairfield and ND.. tough choices
