Hey, midweek wins are good. Because coaches are looking at many pitchers for conf play. Who could start if current starter gets hurt or flames out. Who can be a middle reliever. Who can close. Although they want to win the future is part of strategies. You only know by giving playing time and see how they handle it. Every team has different things to look for. And smaller opponents are throwing everything to get a quality win on resume. So we always have these so called upsets in middle week games. And I would bet coaches don’t go over as much film on opposing pitchers either.

I don't even need to look up how bad the bloodletting was to know it was bad. I would say congrats on the big win but we both know Texas ain't no big win #fml

I wish UTGRV was still called Texas Pan American

That sounds like a cool ethnicity

I can't claim to be an expert at college baseball, so I'm asking those of you with a lot more knowledge here. Why do these Wednesday matchups seem to be so tough across the board for SEC teams? Most of the time, they are what I would consider to be "lesser" opponents and yet pretty much every SEC team loses a few of these games or struggles to win them (as my Tigers did last night).

Some would say it's just baseball. Midweek games are good for seeing who you can trust in your rotation that you would normally not play on the weekend.

When you play guys you can't trust, mid majors beat power 4 teams all the time.

That is because your team will more likely lose 2 out of 3 against an unranked Missouri team.

They are saving their “good” pitchers for the weekend because those midweek games aren’t super important.

Most of the time the top 6-7 arms are not going to pitch in the game. That coupled with the fact that coaches will generally make pitching decisions you wouldn’t normally see if it was in a game it absolutely needed to win. Much more experimenting done.
