I made sure to call my parents tonight to let them know it may be the last chance they have to see Casey. Think they are going tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerbelle 5,299 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 All around a pretty nice game. The officiating was uneventful and probably the best it's been all year. The AU bats were hot. Pitching was solid and the results speak for themselves. War Eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the extremely handsome guy wearing a AU baseball hat. ? It is really great to watch Casey work. Hope he is at the top of his game tomorrow night.

And tonight helps if we need Greenhill in the first game of the SEC tourney. Nonetheless, great win. War eagle! I bet Greenhill could throw an inning or two if we had to have it Saturday.

If we had a 6 run lead at the time instead of 4 I think you wouldn't have seen Cody tonight. Stupid ball getting lost in the lights at dusk cost us those 2 runs.

Greenhill solid tonight...about 40 pitches.....not too bad if we needed him in the SEC I'm thinking... He'll be good to go Saturday if needed. 40 pitches isn't that much this time of year.

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Really enjoyed the game tonight. Had great seats......row 1 right next to the entrance to AU's dugout. And the rain held off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta make sure you get the win in this one before worrying about the other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a lock for the NCAA Tourney & have been since we swept Vandy.. Now we are working on a region Host spot. Need 3 more wins between the rest of LSU & the SEC Tourney to lock that IMO.

Good to see you posting again. Feel like it's been a while since I've seen you post in the baseball threads. I agree on the RPI. Even with two losses, the needs report say we would stay in the top 16. Looking at the Warren Nolan RPI game values, I don't think we'd fall past 15 if we lose the series.

Looking at the Warren Nolan RPI game values, I don't think we'd fall past 15 if we lose the series. My thing is wanting us to get the 5 seed if we can for the SEC Tourney. That alone would boost our resume given 1-4 will be 1 seeds & probably at least 3 being top 8 national seeds. If we don't get the 5 seed then I would like to see our RPI get to the top 10 to feel good about getting a region host spot. The shortest path I see to that would be winning the LSU series & getting to Wednesday & getting a win over Top 10 RPI teams Arky, Rebs, or UGA.

To get that 5th seed, I think we need to sweep LSU and South Carolina to get swept because I believe we'd lose the highest seeded common opponent tiebreaker to them. No one else can get to 16 wins that would beat us in a tiebreaker. I don't think we can be the 5 seed if we don't get to 16 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomstick 1,315 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 To be the 6 seed: Auburn sweeps LSU or Auburn wins the series Vandy wins their series vs Kentucky Florida and South Carolina win one game in their respective series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if it took you some time to do all that. I did the calculations Tuesday & could have answered any questions on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
