AUDub 11,147 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 So, just spitballing, do we pitch Mize tomorrow or take a risk and save him for Sunday? I say pitch him, but it is an interesting thing to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say pitch him, but it is an interesting thing to think about. Pitch Mize. Put your best foot forward tomorrow and do everything you can to win game two. Then worry about Sunday/Monday. Show your team you truly mean one game at a time. Getting a win tomorrow sets us up so much better to potentially win the regional. And if we win, we're throwing Daniel against a midweek starter or a fifth guy out of the pen for some of these teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,091 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 So there are 8 games scheduled to start tomorrow at 6 CT and only 2 TV times slots are at those times. It's highly likely IMO we will be on the WatchESPN APP only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say pitch him, but it is an interesting thing to think about. This depends entirely on the scouting reports and our coach's thoughts on Tenn. Tech vs. FSU. If, in spite of their loss, FSU is the bully boy here and Tech shot their only solid pitcher to beat FSU, then, then save Mize. If there's little difference in the two teams, then pitch Mize. I/we don't know what our scouting reports contain. Whether to pitch Mize or save him depends on our perception of Tenn. Tech's capabilities. We don't want to use Mize in order to beat Tech 17-0 and then not have him for a tougher foe. On the other hand, if Tech has another pitcher of roughly the same quality as the guy they used today, then we've got to counter with Mize. Tomorrow we'll see how dangerous Butch thinks Tenn. Tech is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au302 2,669 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Quick question. I'm confused. Does the committee pair regionals together or does everything get shuffled depending on who wins? For example, if we win this regional would we already know which team we'd play or would we find out next week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our region plays the winner of the Texas Tech Region. The winner there then plays the winner of the LSU Super Region (Which consists the LSU Regional & the USM Regional) on the first day of the CWS.

AUTigersfan89 256 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Glad to see Mize starting. It's one game at a time. If we play pitchers as if we have something to gain beyond this next game, the entire team may take the same attitude. I hope we beat TN Tech by a boat load, but we cannot take them lightly. Rookie question, what is going to take to win the regional if we beat TTU tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on your opinion of the relative strengths of the potential opponents. Obviously, Butch thinks Tech is a capable team. If he didn't he'd save Mize for the next game.

I guess watching TT handle FSU on their home field was sufficient evidence that TT is not a team to overlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
