B1G is like the 10th best baseball conference.
yes, I plan on kicking off early and having a few tasty beverages while watching on Friday bc if I wait to get off work at a normal time then I will miss the fireworks. It should be over by the 4th.
Poverty conference
You have to have two wins against top 30ish teams this weekend and you want to use Lowder up against a team with no Q1 or Q2 wins all year?
I know that's been a situational BP decision I've seen several times in games. Especially against Hawke.
As did Kurtz.
oops - 16. threw an etra double elimination series in there somehow.
Actually no diff. if lose game 1 or 2 as same path if you lose either so winning both of the first 2 are huge to avoid losers bracket and the extra game. So as others have said pitching Rhett game 2 is a no brainer as 1 and 2 are equally important and you know the game 2 opponent will be a much tougher out, so you go with Rhett on that one. The real debate is whether you play it safe and go with Hartle in game 1 and save Keener/Sullivan for games 3 and after. George Mason @ 176 RPI is pretty bad and we played 9 games against 7 teams with lower RPIs and won those 117-16 with only close one being a 6-0 win vs. Binghamton. Rest of our games were against top 100 RPI except for UNC-G with a 140 RPI and we won that one 20-2. only tough team on their schedule appears to be ECU and they got swept easily by them. So does feel a Keener start in game 1 makes sense as should be easy W and great way to get Keener back to his A game which we need for long term.
