OK, how far can this team go?

[Bulldogg31]

I know it's a crazy question, but good grief, the team went 9-1 vs. teams ranked in the Top 5. That tells me we've got talent. They also seem to be peaking at the right time.

Is there any reason a team that just put up 33 runs against the best pitching staff in the country (minus Singer) can't come out of a regional?

Just depends on how we play that weekend. We’ve proved we can beat anyone. We’ve also proved we can lose to mediocre or bad teams. I know if I’m a regional host I don’t want to see Mississippi State in my regional.

The key is Pilkington and Small. If they can get deep in to games and save our pen we can do something. I am really worried about what our pitching would look like in game 4 at Hoover or a regional if we are lucky enough to make it that far.

Ordinarily I'd say an early exit from Hoover might give the team and the pitching staff some needed rest.

However, with our bats as hot as they are we may need to keep playing and winning to maintain our momentum.

Just had this discussion with a friend. He said lose Tuesday and go home. I said as a player, you want to keep playing while you are hot. I don’t see an advantage of losing Tuesday and then going home for 8-10 days before playing again.

If we could somehow get the CWS moved to DNF, I really like our chances.

We’ll see what they’ve got away from DNF.

Yeah we have been deadly on top 5 teams at home. Not so much on the road.

I sure wouldn't want to play us

We are playing solid in every phase of the game right now. And KP and Small can compete at high levels. That doesn't sound like a team that should be a 3 seed.

Throw in a healthy Self and finding a consistent bullpen....this team can play with anyone.

Nothing would shock me at this point.
