Same here. The series win over Ole Miss could mark a turning point on the season

I will say that if we can get into postseason play with Lipscomb and Thompson we can be dangerous. It just takes stringing together a few strong pitching performances to make things interesting

The problem now is Keegan is dealing with a tired arm. He's thrown an average of 120 pitches over the last few SEC starts. Had the same issue last year. His velo was down 4-5 MPH on Saturday which is why he only pitched a couple of innings. Hopefully he will be good to go this weekend.

He had a bit tendonitis Saturday & that's why he was taken out early. CSG said after the game it's nothing to worry about & he will be good to go rest of the season FWIW.

Also a tired arm had nothing to do with last year. He was straight up dealing when he got hit in the foot w/ a batted ball @ UK knocking him out for the season.

26th now after all the weekend baseball was completed. LINK

The magic numbers to keep in mind for post season play are 13 conference wins minimum & 30 or better RPI.

Is there even an outside shot of getting in with 12 conference wins if our RPI stays solid?

Historically no. No SEC team has made the NCaa Tourney w/ 12 wins since the SEC has gone to a 30 game conference schedule.

Y'all keep a heads up for tomorrow. There is an 80% chance of rain Saturday & the SEC has a rule stating that all conference series must be played in a 3 day span. That means Sunday is not an option.If the Saturday game is moved it will make tomorrow a double header starting @ 1 or 2. Since Saturday's game is on tv I could see the SEC making game 3 stay on Saturday & try to brave it out.

All just a FYI.

I don't think so. It would have been announced by now. I think it will be a long Saturday w/ them trying to start the game @ noon & get it in throughout the day Saturday.

That could screw us. The 3 day rule is stupid. Let's say the SEC is selfish and tries to make AU play tomorrow and we can't get it in. UGA leaves and we can't make up the game. The end of the year we finish with 12 SEC wins and don't get into a regional.

How bad would that suck? UGA has already had an SEC game canceled this year too

Rig, aren't you in engineering? Build a retractable roof a la Diamondbacks.

I would say Marlins but they don't even know to close it when it rains

Not as bad as this which is more likely right now. Say we get the game started sometime tomorrow & Kegan mows down the pups for 4 or 5 innings. We have a lengthy delay forcing Coach G to take Kegan out. Then we finish the game after things clear around 7 tomorrow night & UGA comes back to beat us to avoid the sweep or win the series pending on what happens today. That would hurt our RPI & may push it up to 14 conference wins to get in a regional.

I'm so pissed w/ the SEC. It's looking more & more like there will be rain all day into the night tomorrow. If it wasn't for them wanting to keep tomorrow's game on TV we would be playing baseball right now.
