Beautiful day for baseball let's (not) play two...

Looks like if we lose this morning to ARK, we'd play again this afternoon against Auburn. Beat Auburn and we'd play again Friday night.

If we win this morning we'd play early Friday vs. Florida. Loser of that game plays again tomorrow night, winner rests until Saturday night.

Pretty important to stay out of the losers bracket today to have a shot.

I am not terribly optimistic about the game this morning, but I do think we can certainly beat Auburn this afternoon if that ends up being the matchup. I would like to get one more win this weekend and I'll be satisfied with our week. Even if we lose twice today it isn't really a big deal.

 

[Bulldogg31]

If we're a lock as a 2-seed I agree.

If we can get back to single elimination on Saturday (which likely means beating Florida), and a couple of other potential host teams crap the bed, perhaps we could sneak in and get a few more games at home? Not likely I know, but this team specializes in unlikely things.

My left ball is all tingly, that means we win big today, or maybe it's a tumor. I guess I'll get it checked if we lose.

IT'S NOT A TOOMAH!

We've been in this position before and I never recall us playing our way into a host because we did well in Hoover. Not even in 2001 or 2012 when we won the tournament, and those teams were in a better position than this one is.

I just don't believe there's any way for us to host at this point. Too much ground to make up in the RPI and we will still be fifth in the pecking order in the SEC.

This team has been fun to watch. I don't know how well we will fare in postseason, because of our lack of pitching depth, tho.

Anybody know why Bragg has fallen out of favor with coaches?

I'd argue we can move into 4th if Arkansas bows out against Auburn and we get to play (and beat) UF twice. But then, I'm usually a dreamer...

Bump. Title valid for today as well.

I agree. The best we can do for ourselves in hoover is to improve our match up as a two seed. I do think the host site that draws us as a two is going to be repeating a few dirty words.
