re: Alabama Baseball Season Long Thread

The game is at 11 CST Friday morning and will be televised by ESPNU just in case anybody didn't know. We'll be starting Charley Sullivan. The article I saw didn't say who Troy is throwing, but by looking at their stats their top two starters appear to be Tanner Hicks (3.47, 8-3) and Shane McCain (3.53, 8-1) so I'd imagine it'll be one of them. They also have a very solid reliever/closer in Nate Hill. All three of those guys are right at or above one K per inning pitched, so simply putting the ball in play could go a long way Friday.

Obviously the regional is double elimination, but it's very difficult to come out of the losers bracket if you don't win your first two (even though we did it in Gaspard's first year) so Friday is a huge game.

Also, Shane McCain is an awesome name.
