I like our chances; Texas has the deepest staff and has only used 2 starters and 2 relievers (0 runs), MSU 2 starters and 8 relievers (Sims twice), and Virginia 2 starters and 5 relievers. Virginia's bull pen got smacked by MSU and Texas looked good against Tennessee, especially the defense.

Our defense up the middle is really good. The two DP's yesterday were killers for the Vols; Ardoin's short-hop, backhanded catch (w/ a $%@&* catcher's mit), pivot and throw was amazing, and a bit of a momentum changer to say the least.

Texas DP

These games have been fun to watch. Tense, exciting, and glorius for the guys stepping up, and heartbreaking for the guys who get outscored.

Anything can happen in one game, but the teams playing the best baseball usually win the series.

Means absolutely zero as they now rest up waiting on others to use their arms to survive and advance.

We actually managed the bullpen to perfection yesterday. Our arms are fine

Then let’s bet on it. I’ll take State at $500 to come out of that bracket

MSU did well yesterday, came back and the pitchers put up 0's & advanced. MSU gets to rest one day and then try to win 2 out of 3.

UT's game 1 & 2 pitchers will get the same amount of rest. Hope they get a chance to pitch again.

Sorry, I don't bet on Texas sports; too emotionally invested to trivialize it over a few bucks.

Ya'll crushed their spirit yesterday, going from a no-no in the 8th to giving up 6 runs. Gonna be tough to come back form that.

Uh, State gets TWO days of rest.

And even though they pitched eight guys yesterday, none of them threw a lot of pitches.

A lot wrong here. State gets 2 days of rest, and they only have to win 1 of 2 games. Texas has to win 3 games in 3 days to advance (VA Thursday, State Friday, State Saturday).

Yeah - almost like it was two diff games. To have that rolling and then game turn like that has to be deflating. Along with that - certainly gives MSU more of a spark.

Have to give it to the NC State hand - based on super regional - to take an absolute demoralizing beat down like they did in game 1 - and be able to do what they did, pretty damn strong.

I don’t think so he pitched against ND

I just think we haven’t used him yet
