Forever means either UNC swept us or we swept them & then lost 2 & out at the CWS. I was only referring to the super regionals since that was the topic here.. If we win the first 2 games we won't need TBA....so... The starting pitchers may or may not change going into the CWS. Not looking too far ahead because that's bad baseball mojo.

Lol.I know what you meant Belle. I was just trying to be funny. Guess I missed again. Info I had left out was Butch said Tanner is done for the year other than spot 1 inning appearances so 3rd starter after this weekend would likely be TBA too.

But since Auburn has had to do without him so much already I don't see it as that big of a blow. Having him available to come in occasionally as a middle reliever may help Cody Greenhill. Maybe Tanner can even be the extra closer in the 9th....not sure what the plan is but even a little ability to contribute is better than nothing at all. We haven't seen Brooks Fuller lately and he was really developing nicely. I wonder what's going on with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing at least...based on his history the guy can throw strikes......so if you bring him in for a couple batters I don't think we worry about him walking the first guy or two he faces. Would be nice not to use Cody on back to back games. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a window near first pitch time on Saturday and Sunday. Monday looks really bad. And not sure if it’s been posted, but here is the advancing scenarios if the full series can’t be played. They will have through Tuesday to extend the super regional, although Tuesday doesn’t really look any better.

No games played: higher seed advances One game played: winner advances Two games played and split: higher seed advances I really don't like this at all. We are not the higher seed so I can see AU getting screwed by bad weather. We are seldom lucky in such situations. I'd rather get beat than cheated by rain. The '67 CWS rules were different than today's. Back then they used the rules of professional baseball. If five innings were completed and the game got stopped by rain, the team ahead won. AU was a little behind Stanford but had either two or three runners on base and our best power hitter, Scotty Long, coming to bat. The rains came, we never got to finish the game and Stanford was declared the winner. One of those was enough for one lifetime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 5 inning games? Double headers? IDK gotta make sure this scenario doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I think the key for us this weekend is going to be responding when things don't go our way. NC is going to be at home. They've got a very good offense, and a great pitching staff. Tigers have got to know they've been here before. They went to Miss State and won a game, they went to Baton Rouge and won a game, they've beaten Arkansas and should've taken the series, they've beaten Ole Miss in the series, they've beaten UGA and had a chance to win that series, beat TAMU, they've swept Tennessee, and most recently, they've beaten GA Tech twice at home. If something goes wrong, it's all about responding. Pitchers and defense have got to keep playing and not let one play affect another one. Offense has got to keep producing like they did with some big innings this past weekend. Play for Rod, play for each other, play for Auburn. Think we've got the talent and the "it-factor" to go toe to toe with Carolina. Firmly believe we are good enough to be in Omaha. Let's make it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a gap of good weather for the next few hours and then another batch headed across the triangle area getting there near game time. JMO but they will get started OK but after that? That's looking at the map...but I see the forecast is 100% chance of rain....but still might be some opportunity between weather issues....and likely some delays too. Not the best day....but we really needed the rain.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
