Just thinking about the tourney...
Throw Pilkington today vs. Georgia. This is his normal bullpen day, so he could be ready again by maybe Fri, definitely Saturday. If you lose, no big deal, go home, get your rest, and try to get through what will likely be a 2 in a National Seed's bracket.
Wednesday looks like a rainout. 80% chance of thunderstorms all day, and with us playing the late game tonight (maybe) there's a good chance we get the day off tomorrow.
Throw McQuary Thursday vs. Arkansas and try to get on the winner's side of the bracket.
Throw Billingsly and whoever can get a strike over the plate on Friday. I'm. It sure about the bracket at that point, but we're likely facing a Florida or Kentucky, so we're gonna give up a bunch of runs either way.
In the loser's bracket Saturday, throw Pilkington again and let him go as long as he can. If we win, it's back to single elimination.
At that point I think you call it a win and hope that performance gets to the 2 seed in a (relatively) bad 1 Seed's bracket. (Clemson is ripe for the picking, going 5-11 in their last 16 games). Throw whoever feels good on Sunday and see what happens, as your likely facing a low man in someone else's order as well.
Just a thought. I think there is litttle chance this tourney ends before Monday due to the weather which plays into our favor with a thin staff.
