looks like Ole Miss will end up hitting this guy for an extremely early view. They seem a bit like us in that they seem to do well against power pitchers, not so good against junk ballers. To early to tell but I think OM wins this one.

 

[patdog]

through 2 innings he hasn't given up a hit, has 2 strikeouts, and is consistantly getting ahead on counts. I think Missouri will win this game pretty easily.

I figured it would be a very tight, low-scoring game with Crow & Lynn throwing today.....and could be if Lynn stays away from the 1st inning wildness that cost him a run.

Miami is holding their best pitcher back for tomorrow's game. Whoever wins today will have very little chance of winning tomorrow with their #2 against Miami's #1.

[RobertF50]

you're right this guy is really good.

 

[patdog]

With Crow on the mound, Missouri has a decent chance against anybody.

Honestly there is no guarantee Miami beats BC. BC gave Miami a couple good games earlier this year, and BC's ace is pretty stout. Miami throwing their No. 3 pitcher could end up coming back to haunt them if BC's ace has a really good day. The guy is 9-1 with a 1.20 ERA. I don't think I'd be taking a chance throwing my No. 3 guy against a guy with those numbers.

can't beat them with their #3 starter, then they don't deserve to win this Regional anyway.</p>

I disagree. There are quite a few 4 seeds that aren't pushovers (BC being one of them), and quite a few have a very good ace that can beat anyone on any given day (BC is one of them). In my opinion, if they can't beat Mizzou or us with their No. 2 guy they don't deserve to win their regional.

We drew BC 2 years ago in our regional as a 4 seed. We threw our ace because they had a very good ace. It took back to back solo HRs in the 7th for us to win the game 3-2.

I'd agree with the strategy if they had drawn Texas Southern, Columbia, or a program that doesn't have anything, but BC is a solid program. Miami played BC twice this year already. They beat them 10-5 and 7-6.

In the 10-5 game, they were only up 6-4 after 7 innings, and in the 7-6 win, they needed a 3 run 8th inning to be able to come from behind to beat BC. It's a very dangerous game for Miami, and I think it's a big risk for Miami to save their ace, especially knowing that neither Mizzou or Ole Miss is saving their ace.

just win 16 games this year?

 

[RobertF50]

pitching in the ACCT. Only UVa. slowed them down and they gave up 7 runs and lost. The Canes look like a real tight group is why I think nobody stops them this year. They are a different team than earlier this year.

 

[RebelBruiser]

They are not a great team, but they are a team that's capable of beating a 1 seed with their ace on the mound if they play a good game. It's definitely a risk by Miami to go with their No. 3 guy.
