Man Tre sucks right now but he is nowhere close to the douche that Rodriguez just showed himself to be. No excuse for any of that shite, glad Vigue sat his arse down

Wes sticking with what got us here:

Georgia
3B Tre Phelps
C Daniel Jackson
CF Rylan Lujo
DH Michael O'Shaughnessy
LF Kenny Ishikawa
2B Ryan Wynn
1B Brennan Hudson
SS Kolby Branch
RF Ryan Black

Vigue is starting o the mound. Likely won’t have a lineup until 7-7:30. Wouldn’t be surprised if Wes keeps things as is

Curious if he can hold up. If so, major props for toughing it out

I bet both fanbases are glad they won’t face today’s pitchers. Should be a good game. Our teams didn’t meet this year so lots of unknowns for both staffs

Just happy for the Branch family. What an amazing moment as parents to see your boys get to play each other in a winners bracket game in Omaha.

There have already been a lot of HRs in the first 3 games. Every year seems like people equate Omaha to the polo grounds when it’s pretty similar to Hoover. This team doesn’t hit wall scrapers anyway, question is if we can be patient with Volantis’ high release point

I'm pretty worried going against Texas's ace who completely shut us down last year. BUT, the one thing that gives me hope is that MSU's ace also killed us earlier this year but we got him figured out in the supers. Granted we haven't faced texas this year but I'm really hoping we can figure out this guy enough to stay in it til late.

I think people default to the pitching (and for good reason with the way this park can play; it’s very similar to DFF in Austin). I’m interested tos we how we attack Volantis this year compared to last when we were basically XBH or nothing. This year we can basically win a game any way we need; mash HRs, hit singles and sac flies, whatever we can get away with we will do.

Seems like the consensus has just been that Volantis is going to hold our offense in check so the real matchup to watch is UGA pitching vs the Texas lineup. But there’s not been a lot given to what if we do to Volantis what we did to Valnicius and McPherson? And is Texas going to have the same success vs our pitching in Omaha that MSU (an arguably better lineup) had in a more hitter friendly park in Athens?

It'd also be nice if we had an elite pitcher but our starting 3 rotation is mostly just guys that are pretty good enough most of the time. If we lose tomorrow and have to come out of the loser's bracket we're probably fricked due to our pitching.

The days off in between make this a very different experience. I don’t think we’re as out of it if we drop game 1 as you’d think if this were a standard 3 day regional; if we lose, we don’t play again until Monday and if we win that second game we just play Tuesday night. Thats a not a full days rest but enough time to let some guys come back in a do or die situation

I’ve been checking flights and hotels for the past week but it’s $1500+ not counting actual tickets, food/drink, and uber for a Friday-Sunday tilt. Really want to work it out but my kids are still young so I’ve got be somewhat responsible
