Could have 10 SEC teams in Supers but two of them would be SEC vs SEC matchups. 5 SEC teams already advanced, 5 others playing today with a chance to move on.

Bulldogs4 Posted yesterday at 02:13 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:13 PM I am thinking the Georgia folks are shaking their heads …Like really, we have already beaten these guys four times this year. Could you have possibly matched us up with someone else… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrownInEtown Posted yesterday at 02:25 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:25 PM We’ve seen it before. If they bring their A game and we bring our A game, they win. We came out hot in all of our games in the regionals but start slipping late defensively. I think we’ll play good against Georgia, but it’s their game to lose. Tough road for both teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg83 Posted 21 hours ago Author Share Posted 21 hours ago What an insane weekend of games. Number 1 and number 2 overall are gone. First time ever that two 4 seeds are in a Super (and we could still have a third). Troy is leading Florida right now and will host a Super if they win. And you could still have a Kentucky vs Cal Poly super as well. What on earth…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of P4 talent playing at those mid major schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago There are a ton of really good high school baseball players that get spread around the country. You look at Delta State and William Carey here in MS. Those two schools are probably mid level D1 programs playing at the DII and NAIA level. That is why I said there are no real upsets in baseball when you get to the Regionals. Every team is capable of making a run. Very competitive and that is what makes it fun.

Dawg83 Posted 15 hours ago Author Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) It will be a trip to Auburn for Ole Miss. Seven SEC schools ending up advancing, but two SEC vs SEC supers, so 5 is the max you’ll see in Omaha. Two obviously the minimum.

Vott Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago First it was UALR winning the Hattiesburg Regional as a 4 seed. And pouring salt in the wound is Troy hosting UALR in a super regional. Of all the regionals Southern Miss has made, including the few they won, the one last week was probably the easiest one they had to get to Omaha. If Southern Miss has another regular season/tournament championship and 40 win season next year Southern Miss officials would be better off not putting in a bid to host and letting them travel. Hosting again would only be added pressure to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year it was seven. Hosting can and does create extra pressure on the home team. And that pressure can vary depending on the experience of the team, the expectations of the team and fans, whether they have experienced failure at home over the recent seasons during said regional, the opposition teams of that particular regional (with respect to their own experience) plus the wildcard factors of the fact that anything can happen in a short weekend.

DrownInEtown Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Pretty crazy stat I just saw. 5 of the regionals were won by teams that came out of the loser’s bracket. Chaotic start to this year’s postseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David44 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago USM lived on some tight margins this year. They had 14 wins 6 losses in 1 run games. That's being very fortunate (lucky even...) And it bit them in Game 1 at Hattiesburg. Needed just 3 outs in the 9th against Little Rock, had their closer on the mound, but couldn't do it again. In Colby Allen's defense though, he was starting his 4th inning there. Lot to question though if USM's demise was somewhat self inflicted. You could have been playing Friday night instead of at high noon in South Miss in late May. You could have stuck to your regular rotation instead of swapping Grayden Harris and Camden Clark. Some opponents get a chip on their shoulder when you don't throw your #1 in Game 1. You had trusted guys in the pen to get those last 3 outs if Allen was gassed. They could have still lost Game 2 anyway, but with their opening regional game record lately, I would have used any and all within-the-rule options to win Game 1.

Dawg83 Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago OM’s super starting on Friday, State’s starting on Saturday. I presume OM will keep their starting rotation the same. Auburn may have to shift some things around since their usual Friday guy started Friday and Monday of the regional. They may end up holding him a day. I think the Saturday start is exactly what State needed. Allows you to throw Valincius and McPherson on full rest in the first two games. Surprised those games are both midday starts, I think you can also argue that works in State’s favor. I would say both State and OM are underdogs this weekend, but I wouldn’t be shocked if either or both got it done and made it to Omaha.
