Rigby out 6-8 weeks with groin surgery...

And cann said blake smith just had elbow surgery. Think we all knew that was happening. First public confirmation.

What this duct tapes staff has done is pretty remarkable.

This is all Cohen's fault****

How many is that now, 9? Billingsley, Self, Rigby, Smith, Breaux, Marze, James, Small, Padgett. And 2 more (Ford and Mahoney) that aren't 100% recovered.

By postseason metrics -- we aren't terribly far from where we need to be right now, despite the meltdowns that have already been endured on here this season. As of today we are @ #45 in the RPI with one bad loss(Marist). Obviously, we will need to get 9-10 more wins in conference, but making a regional is back in question now. And we still have only been beaten soundly once all season. Personally I'm starting to see a little light at the end of the tunnel now with the bats starting to spring to life.

I'm encouraged by the hitting this weekend as well, but I also have no idea how good or bad UT is. The fact that the run production was from the entire lineup was the biggest plus I saw/listened to. We've got a tough week ahead.

Without looking at the schedule, I'm afraid we're going to drop more than a few midweek games because our lack of pitching depth is going to be exposed. And if I remember right we actually have a few weeks where we play two midweek games. I'm encouraged by last weekend as well, but the bottom line is we will have to win some shootouts in the midweek games.

 

[engie]

We've got 7 midweek games total left. Only one is a real potential disaster, with FIU being on the cusp of that. The rest won't hurt us that much either way. Would be a big deal in the hosting discussion, but we're just trying to make the tournament. Another bat or two shows up like they are seemingly trying to do and we will have a chance.

 

[Todd4State]

I'm not sure that Morehead State can maintain their top 100 RPI. We need to get Billingsley back too.

 

[8dog]

nevermind

 

[engie]

I think Morehead is a tournament team so my presumption is that they will....
