Rumor

Maybe Cohen was like "I'll start Stratton against Samford because their #1 starter is so good" just to get Samford's coach to be like "Oh no, maybe if I go with my number 2 guy they'll go with their number 2" then Cohen was like "exactly" Everyone wins here but Florida St

Keep in mind that our ENTIRE staff has an ERA of 1.62 in our last 21 SEC games... What we did in the tournament was incredible. Pitching a shutout on your 6th game in 6 days against top 25 teams, going 5-1 and scoring only 16 earned runs, giving up only 12 earned runs and 0 unearned runs. Not...

Noles' Fan Here

I made a 13 on the math section of the ACT in 7th grade, so I think you pitch him against Samford if he prays beforehand.

On Regionals, for those of you who don't do probability well.

Of course you take chances in an elimination game if you're trying to win. If you're trying to save face on the off chance that you lose, then you don't. All I'm saying is that I'd much rather go 0-2 without Stratton than 2-2 with Stratton vs UAB. 2-2 doesn't mean ****. FSU is the best team...

OK. I'd be a terrible baseball coach. I wouldn't even be good at predicting percentages. That's Cohen's job and he's way better at it than I am. But once the percentages are estimated, I'd know that you have to go with the ones that give you the best chance of winning. Last that I comment on...

On Regionals, for those of you who don't do probability well.

Here are some more hard and fast facts. You can't win the regional by going 1-2 or 2-2. By your logic, if we played the absolute worst team in the entire world in game 2 we should still throw Stratton just because it's elimination. UAB isn't the worst team in the world, that's why you have to...

He's not making it an exact science. He's saying that Cohen has to estimate the percentages for all scenarios. It's not exact, but it's our coach's best guess. Based on that he needs to go with the scenario that he thinks is going to give us the best chance to win. It's crucial to take every...

I totally missed this post before I posted almost exactly the same thing. My bad.

edit: I wrote everything below before seeing boomboommsu's post. My bad. He's right, though That's insane. Bad logic. Consider: (I admit that I'm pulling these percentages out of my ***, but that's not the point. I think they're reasonable. Even if they're not it doesn't change the argument...

I agree that it wouldn't go over well with the fan base, but Cohen isn't exactly in danger right now. You play the odds and in the long run they'll work out.

Absolutely disagree. You play to win the regional, not to keep people from saying "They lost 2 games straight and didn't throw their best player." If you lose game 1 w/o Stratton, you don't want to waste him on a 4 seed, or even Samford if they lose to FSU. If we don't pitch Stratton in game 1...

A State win today...

I think that the teams in the most danger of not making it are Vandy, Auburn, Georgia, MSU, in that order. That's with Bama and UT out. That's based purely on who they play. If we win today, I'd expect us to either need 1 more or to already be in. We'll probably get in as a 7 seed after Florida...
