It may be nitpicking, but I hate sliders to left handed power hitters in key situations. Veliz throws 94 - 95 MPH. If he hits that out, tip your hat to him. But don't let him barrel up something that will tie the game.

This. I still think we host also and pray the NCAA Committee isn't as in love with the NC teams as the ACC always is. Wouldn't have mattered, but the strike 3 call on Lala was typical ACC refereeing when it comes to non tobacco road teams.

On the glass half full side of things, at least we are talking about the possibility of FSU's streak ending, and our chances of hosting. What a difference a year makes. Let's win this afternoon, and I'll feel pretty good about a chance at a 13 or 14 seed.

They are terrible, and it will be a disgrace and a shame for the team that gets left out so Mike Martin can go 2 and BBQ (IMO). It will really be a disgrace if they lose tonight and still get in.

I wonder if McMahon is first out of the pen in an all out attempt to win this game? I have to believe Evan is on a pitch count limit again.

Maybe CTCANE has inside info, but I have always thought the thought process was this: it's a two or three game sample size vs a 30 game regular season conference schedule. Thus, don't penalize a team for a <10% sample size (even smaller % when you count all regular season games). And my...

Unless it's changed, yes, high seed advances if all go 1 - 1.

Good point - don't see those two losing their regional or super.

I suspect LSU is in with their 19 wins vs RPI Top 50. WVU is a long shot; TX A&M and Illinois are the two looking to make a statement and jump us and/or NC/NCST.

This is actually fairly favorable IMO - gives max rest to our taxed and healing rotation. And I still believe we only need 1 win (if at all, depending on what others do) to ensure we host.
