Considering we faced a future high 1st round draft pick at pitcher last night with Johnny Wholestaff, still outhit them despite their huge pitching advantage, almost stole a game they should have won easily, and very likely would have stolen it had we not gifted them bases loaded with walks, I like our chances a lot. Especially now that we have the pitching advantage. Having that advantage was the only thing that saved them last night and it was still barely enough.

TCU because I don't root for teams I hate to make it to championships.

Don't know what y'all are talking about. That might have been the single greatest umpiring performance ever. Not a single questionable call. Well, maybe that 3rd strike call to Pap after he'd hit the two homeruns, but nobody is perfect.

I personally think this ump is doing an outstanding job.

Of course they are gonna talk about it. It was a big moment in the game. The real issue is, why do y'all care about it so much? Game is over. We won. We got one more for a trip to the championship series. Wgaf if they talk about that call? Hell, I hope we hit one in the EXACT same spot today, with the same call, then challenge and get it overturned and win by the exact amount of runs that result from that play. Just for maximum schadenfreude. frick 'em.

Having Florida burn more pitching instead of getting the extra day off would be great too. Let's go tcu.

NEED some insurance runs here. They could be dangerous in the bottom of the 8th with the top of their order up.

KRob looks like that dude who got molten gold poured over his head on Game of Thrones with that hair. I think Newman should dye his dark so that he and KRob will have essentially swapped hair, and hopefully that will change the luck for both of them, lol.

I normally think that the team hair thing looks kinda silly though, like all the bleached hair on Fullerton, but if Hess is on board then it must be pretty fricking manly indeed, so I retract my statement about it being silly, haha.

But in all honesty, I don't care what they do with their hair or what item they choose to use for rallies and I never have. Let them have fun and bond however they choose. The game should be fun after all. Especially if you want players to choose the college experience over being drafted.

All that said, I'm just ready to see us kick the shite out of FSU tonight and ride Lange to a win over OSU on Friday. I'm pretty confident those two things will happen. Beyond that, less confident about beating OSU the second time. But if we can get there and have one game vs the top team in the nation for a shot at the finals, I'll be pretty happy with that and we'll see what happens.

Wednesday: Poché
Friday: Lange
Saturday: Walker if available/Gilbert
Monday: Poché or Wholestaff
Tuesday: the option you didn't use Monday
Wednesday: Lange

No ridiculously short rest for anyone in that scenario, and we always have Hess and the bullpen to step in when needed.

Yep.
