AUBwins 10,075 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Mize also is a better deterrent for how Army attacks you. Army gets base runners and runs like crazy. Casey has a 14:1 K to walk ratio. He simply keeps you off base. That takes away their greatest strength and chance to beat us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mize’s pitching style is what gives us the edge over Army. Mitchell is a strikeout pitcher too, but I certainly feel more comfortable with Mize keeping them off base. The other side of this, however, is the fact that if we held Mize, but lost, we would still have the best pitching available in the tournament. Throwing Mize against, likely NCST the next day, would set us up with needing to beat Army twice, and probably against inferior pitching. Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern is if Mize can return to the Mize of earlier in the season. The Mize of the last three outings with a 6.75 ERA won't take us very far through this tournament. We look to be in good shape to win this regional but we could still lose it and tougher days are right around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared52 4,354 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Mike is the right choice IMO. He needs a confidence boosting outing, and Army might provide that. Probably a little less pressure than trying to win it tomorrow or force an “if” game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumterAubie 3,031 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 And Mize might pitch better without the burden of THE Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTiger2011 1,277 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I understand everyone's a bit wary of Mize's recent struggles, but c'mon guys, let's not run down the NUMBER ONE DRAFT PICK too much now lol ?. He's still a freaking stud who is more likely to give you 7-8 innings of 1 run ball than struggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coaches almost certainly know more about the hitters than CM and might do a better job of mixing up his pitches. Otherwise, the guys is as good as anyone out there but recent results not up to his talent level...JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might assumption is his eligibility would be based on actually signing a contract in the near future, after the college season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 This is where I got the information...... Mize (9-5, 3.07 ERA) will be making his final appearance before Monday's MLB First-Year Player Draft, when he is expected to be taken with the No. 1 overall pick by the Detroit Tigers. The two-time All-American has been oftentimes dominant this season, racking up 140 strikeouts while issuing just 10 walks in 15 starts spanning 102 2/3 innings. This sounded like this will be his final game. I hope this explains why I asked this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BhamCAT 47 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 That was near impossible to play in that kind of rain, new ball each pitch and still couldn't grip it. Glad they got it in, but if it would have been a close game I feel certain they would have rain delayed it. Looks like the rain will move on in time for our game.

The problem with them continuing to play in that kind of rain is what is it doing to the field? Putting the tarp out would make it much easier for the grounds crew to maintain a playable surface. That much rain will take a while to dry even with numerous bags of sta-dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
