I think Mainieri might be counting wins to clinch a Top 8 seed. Winning the SEC would be nice, but Vandy has a two game lead with six to go, and they don't look to be slowing down. Basically at this point, our focus can't be on winning the SEC. This team has been there, done that. The phenomenal 40 game start for this team has almost made it a National Championship or bust. At the very least, Omaha is expected. If Mainieri can keep this team focused on the big prize, and not expend too much energy chasing the regular season title, then he will have the Tigers ready to peak in the post season.

I think Paul Mainieri is going to keep Glenn throwing game 1, hoping for a win, but knowing that LSU will have a decided pitching advantage in games 2 and 3. LSU is just a couple of wins away from locking up a top 8 seed, and that is the big goal at this point considering what Vandy has done to the East.

Sorry for the unclear post guys - I wasn't talking about the days of the week, but the games of the series.

As in, we've started Nola for the first game of every series up until UF, and did exceptionally well. I was just asking if anyone else was uncomfortable with taking Nola out of the first game role.

This, of course, assumes that Aggy and Ole Miss won't also throw their Sunday starters on Thursday, which I don't think we've confirmed yet.
