We play Indiana on Saturday at 9am

 

[jaihawk]

Going to need some unexpected arms to step up...

 

[panther07]

Would assume Walsh starting tomorrow?

 

[Kaladin]

I’m guessing Walsh starts

 

[Kaladin]

But if we win in the morning, who starts in the afternoon?

I'm tapping the party ball boys!!

Can't be jinxing the home team.

With today's win, we're 22-16 against RPI top 100 teams. I think 6-2 against RPI top 50 teams, with the 2 losses Oklahoma & Maryland. That's 38 of the 56 games we've played. (Good thing). A year ago, all these 38 games were considered Q1 (1-50) or Q2 (51-100) but this year they're not.

Indiana will add to the total. So will Illinois, Michigan & Penn State if we get to Sunday, which IMO isn't likely.

2023 we were 8-9 against the RPI 100. 17 of the 57 games (🤢). Remember before our season started I mentioned this schedule is much tougher on paper and thankfully it came true.

SEC Network during the SEC tournament games is why I bring this (RPI top 100) up. They've talked non-stop about this for 3 days. They say it's how their teams continue to dominate hosting (besides ridiculously talented). They play so many top 100 games it keeps their RPI's high. See Auburn as the example; 14-23 v RPI top 100 and their RPI is currently 49. 😂 Oh, and that's with 2 Q4 losses.

Gonna need Walsh to give us 5.

Perry or Brockett is my guess if there's a game 2.

I'd go with Horn in game 2, just to get the experience. If he fails, oh well. On to Regionals.

Swansen making me eat crow and I'm here for it. He's finally not chasing the low and away off speed pitches.

Nah, you had valid reasoning.

Like previously said though, he was barreling some balls up down the stretch.

Regular season
13-60, 5 BB, 18 K, 1 2B, 1 HR, 6 RBI's

B1G tournament
7-12, 1 BB, 2 K, 3 2B, 2 HR, 7 RBI's

Bolt saw something, and we needed an offensive jolt from someone. .295 with 18 dingers a season ago is no joke.

Party Ball 🤣.

 

[Frogsker30]

We are now the highest seeded team

 

[PonyBoy]

Leadoff 2B by Beek, stranded.

 

[Kaladin]

1-0 Indiana

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Letting Indiana get cocky by getting ahead early. Master tactics.

 

[PonyBoy]

Indiana back to back 2B's after a leadoff K.

1-0 bad guys.

Okay @Kaladin is awake.

 

[BingoDingo]

Well, this is not great...

 

[Samkellers_69]

Even if we win game 1, game 2 is going to be rough. Best we could hope for is if walsh could go deep into game 1 and it's not looking good to start
