That's good. What happens after Wake doesn't matter. This is the 7th game of the world series for Miami (FL). Win and advance.

 

[IndayArtHauz]

Gives Cabezas another day to rest.

Yes yes yes yes yes.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Agree with tcgrad. Hopefully they aren't saving anyone for Saturday. Use the whole staff if you have to.

This is great news overall, but sucks because I had made plans to leave work early today and catch the game. I'll work all **** weekend though if it means we pull out a win against Wake. Just win, baby.

Yes. This weather situation is highly disruptive to my plans to do nearly zero work this afternoon watching baseball.

Man, if that ain't the truth. I set my work schedule around a trainee that was out of office today so I could slip out a couple of hours early and watch the game. Must be a sign?!

Cabezas is the only reliable guy in that bullpen so this is yuge.

Hopefully they use Veliz in the pen tomorrow, if necessary, instead of saving him for a third game that may not happen.

That's something to ponder....they could tab Midtown or Lepore to start the next game.

Exactly. The third game isn't going to make or break anything. Like tc said, it's tomorrow only.

 

[TheU1988]

******* Wake is getting 2-hit through 7 innings right now....their bats will probably come to life tomorrow against us....

What exactly is the tiebreaker in this 4-pool format?

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Tie-breaker within the pool is that the highest seed automatically advances. So this game literally means nothing for Wake. They only have to beat us to move on.

U1988 -

Wake "sand-bagged" the game. Starter had a ~5 ERA and one of the middle-relievers that they utilized had a ~6 ERA.

They also did not announce a starter until today. We will see their best tomorrow and they will see "ours". Only problem is that Cabezas will not be able to pitch. Next year, the ACC needs to do something so that these meaningless games do not occur.

You guys are a lot more confident than I am that two wins will do it - what is your basis for the confidence that 2 - 1 is enough?

 

[canesproponent]

We finished the season as the #6 ACC seed. If we make the semifinals, and they do not allow us in, they cannot turn around and allow a lower seeded ACC team into the field. They will not limit the field to 5 ACC teams (just my opinion).

 

[canesproponent]

The final win against Virginia Tech was key. Losing that game drops us down to 7th or 8th (do not remember). That was big.

moar cabeza!!

The committee has put a huge emphasis on conference finish in the past few years. 6th place should be good enough to get us in, but we need to solidify the RPI while adding an impressive win. The consensus seems to be that winning our pool is the thing to put us on the right side of the bubble.
