It's not as important as the Regional.

So fight and claw to get all the way to the championship game just to not give a f**k in the end?

I don’t believe

It’s not about not giving a frick, it’s about taking a measured approach

The guys who were coming up at the top of the order are the reason Jay wanted once through the lineup if he was keeping pitches low for ack. The move made sense to me if we weren’t riding ack to fatigue.

Why do you think Ack was available at all today?

We haven’t overworked a single pitcher.

Yeah I just want them to win this game so badly


I do too but I think this team has proven they can beat anyone. I wonder how many CWS champions were also the conference tournament champions the same year?

Dumbest shite. I have ever heard. Loser mentality.


We have thrown Ack, Ulloa, and Little, and you dumb motherfrickers are acting like we've just waved the white flag and conceded the game.

Jay wants to win. Just not at the expense of not having his best arms ready for next weekend. Which is absolutely the right way to handle it. It's the exact opposite of a "loser's mentality."

for superstitious reasons I haven't watched the games this week(games were in progress while I was working and we were kicking arse by the time I got home,) I think I may turn it on now for rally purposes, maybe we can slug out way out of this

Definitely was the smart decision. The staff should end up well rested for the weekend.

We didn't extend important pitchers yesterday either. We'll still fight hard to win this, we just won't risk arms that are needed next week. It's not like he told guys to strike out on purpose to get it over with. Cheer for the guys who are playing.

We've throw 3 of our 4 or 5 best relief pitchers. What indicates we are not giving a frick?

But that right there--that injury to Little and the injury to Tennessee's guy in the 1st is the EXACT reason you don't push guys you need in the regional (and hopefully beyond) just to win the SEC Tournament.

It appears based on this board, that it’s not obvious.

Its a week away. They are 20-23 year olds. Man up. I could see if Ackenhaus was struggling but he was cruising. Dumb move.
