2026 Baseball Season


Recommended Posts

Almost all the #4 seeds have a quality ace. And most have won pressure games to make it to a Regional. There is no pressure on them.

Add all that up and those wins are really not upsets. 
Baseball is a fickle game. 
 

For State today, pitching Stone was the correct decision as he was a bad matchup for the Lipscomb lineup. Conversely, eventually State

going to put some runs on the board even though the Lipscomb ace was a solid pitcher.

Usm will be done after today. 

I think they can beat Virginia. Beyond that, TBD. Jacksonville State looked awfully impressive last night.

 

Kinda strange that Southern has this knack for losing the first game of their Regional, but still working their way back through the loser’s bracket to either get to the final or outright win it. Saw yesterday this is the fifth time in six years they lost the opener, but the previous four times they won at least their next two games.

I mentioned to a friend of mine that they may have used up all of their 9th inning magic in the  SBC Tournament. 
They have a tough row to hoe. Not impossible but given the other teams down there, it is going to be difficult. 
CVG-State should be a good match up. Having Valincius pitching for State is certainly a plus. 
Even though Ole Miss went 14 innings into the wee hours I think they can and will beat Nebraska.

It’s a two and ‘cue weekend at home for USM. Disappointing end to a great season. I’m sure a lot of USM diehards will have serious questions about what has gone wrong in the postseason the last two years. Second season in a row they have lost a Regional on their home field. But this is the first time they’ve gone winless in it.

State gets by Cincinnati. Fairly dominant for 7 innings, then State’s bullpen did what State’s bullpen does and it got a little weird. But still a fairly comfortable win. Should have McPherson on the mound tomorrow night with a chance to wrap things up in 3 games.

 

Ole Miss is up 6-3 on Nebraska in a weather delay in the 9th, unclear on if they will try to finish it tonight. But OM currently looking really good too. Possibly a path to hosting a Super very much in play too, as Milwaukee is in the winner’s bracket in Auburn currently. I do wonder if Auburn may make a run to come back and take that one, but they’ve still got a lot of work to do.

Going into Sunday, USM is the lone host to go 0-2 and if Nebraska doesn’t come back on OM, there will be 5 other hosts in the loser’s bracket.

 

To me Regional Sunday is the best day of the Regionals because by now all the weaker 4 seeds are out and also everybody’s pitching depth starts to get super stressed. So you tend to see some crazy games on this day.
