The SchmHoo

I am curious, how many does UVA have?

19

That said, LSU should not feel they earned this one fully. That triple turned single was fricking huge. Who knows what momentum that stopped / could have started?

All in all, I have to say that LSU has the bats to win the whole thing, but the pitching has to pick it up. So does ours.

Good luck to both the clubs from here on out.

nosaj56.......I see that Gmorgan is online and we're going to wear gold jerseys...we can't lose!

If only LSU weren't playing the Hoos today, that might be true.

I'm going to be watching baseball all day tomorrow. I see CSF is pitching their #2 guy against Arkansas, I hope The Hogs take it to them.

Why would you want Arkansas to win? Just means the Tigers'll have to face Renken and an angry Fullerton squad on Monday. Personally, I'd like to see you guys get a chance at redemption next Friday.

Good luck to the Tigers tomorrow. It should be a great game.

And yes, you very well may see nothing but lefties 1-9

Maybe, but that will depend heavily on the situation. Arico is the 9th inning shut-down closer and he's been fantastic in that role. If the bottom ninth rolls around, we have a lead, and two of the first three batters of the inning bat lefty, O'Connor will have a tough time pulling Davis* if he pitches.

Of course, I'm hoping Danny zips through seven or eight with only a few hits and maybe a walk and keeps his pitch count under a hundred. That'll leave Packer with much lighter clean-up duty.

All that assumes, of course that A) UVa will be able to hit Ranaudo and B) LSU isn't able to hit Hultzen.

One thing I feel very safe in assuming: I'll be drinking a beer and watching some great baseball.




* I don't know what the LSU lineup will be Saturday, but if two of the first three batters of the ninth are lefties, there's a good chance Wilson or even Carraway might come in to clean up the eighth inning against a couple of righties.

I'd definitely argue that Bracket 2 is on par with Bracket 1, if not better.

ASU is definitely good. So is UNC. But So. Miss and way-overrated-arse Texas bring down the level of Bracket 2. Just my humble opinion.

No, it wouldn't be anything like that.

Please explain why any of those are incorrect or irrelevant.

Great pitching.
Great hitting.
Great fielding
Great coaching.
Swept the ACC Tourney.
Swept what was dubbed the "Regional of Death" where it was the only non-California team.
Beat Ole Miss 2 out of 3 at there house.
12 wins in the past 13 games, all played away from home.

Those would begin my guess.
