Very productive weekend so far....

[thekimmer]

Picked up a game on TAM, UF, and USC. Need Uga to dispatch the Bears tomorrow. U.K. And UT can win again too if they want.

A&M is a drag for us. They scored less than 3 runs each game this weekend; still won 2.

We are BIG UK and UT fans tomorrow. I know our shots of catching both of them in the standings are very long, but the more we can get that gap between us closed, the more likely we get our 4 national seeds out of the SEC. If there's a 3-4 game distance between us, TAMU, UF, and USC, they can more easily justify just going with the 3; if we are just 1-2 games back that argument is harder to make against us. Would be especially nice to see USC to drop the series b/c they are really the one in that group of 3 vulnerable to being overtaken for a national seed.

We still have a reasonable shot at the sec title. We can get the sweep vs auburn and Arkansas. Need a little help but not much

Sweeps are the sole reason that the leaders are where they are....

So it stands to reason the path to catching up is by sweeping. Consider the fact that every team except us and TAM has lost more than one series. USC has lost two but swept 4. Incidentally they have lost every split series except UF which only went two games so tomorrow bodes well. UF has lost two and swept 3 series, and TAM has lost 1and swept 2. We have lost 1 and swept 1.

Can't win a title without some sweeps. Only 3 years out of the last 10 has 20-10 been enough to win the league. We've got 1 now. I think we may have another one in us.

That's also why avoiding getting swept is so crucial as well. When you get swept you have to sweep two times just to get back on pace.

Our best

shot is AU. Unfortunately, AR has started playing like everyone had thought they would.

Except LSU is about to beat them in the bottom of the 9th. Was 9-5 starting the inning, now 9-8, 1 out with runners on 2nd and 3rd.

So true...

Of the leaders neither UF or usc has been swept themselves. Tam was swept once like us wit heir 2nd sweep being the diff right now in the west.

I'm not

sure last nights result really discounts what I said.

 

[rugbdawg]

Aggie offense has struggled a little since playing us. I hope we get a shot at them in the Tourney finals. Or better yet, the CWS.

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeah. I would imagine they'll look back and say those 3 games in Starkville were probably as good of a series they played all year.

Good news, we'll make up some ground on either them or USC next week. Hopefully.

We can sweep each of the next two if we continue to pitch well.

Do I expect that? Probably not. Looking at 5-1 or maybe 4-2. But we're talking about two teams that are both 7-16 in conference play. And there's a good chance both get swept today.

Auburn's hitting worries me a little, but their pitching is not good. We could score a whole lot of runs next weekend.
