Baseball vs. KY, Wed 6/19, 11:00 am EDT

Based on the current forecast, our game will be postponed.

That said, it’s Omaha and the current forecast has changed in the 15 seconds it took me to type this.

 

Agreed @crescent_beach —

Just looked at TWC for Omaha…I have found if you go to “today” on the forecast and then look to the far right and tap on “overnight” it gives the most accurate hr to hr I have found.

Might be another late one.

 

Possibly in excess of an inch of rain today and >50% chance tomorrow. Could be a long couple of days, especially for the teams scheduled to play tonight,

Might be a good thing.
Rest some arms?

 

That would mean a double header tomorrow. I’d rather play today.

 

Another site reports that Brandon Neely has thrown roughly 25% of the Gator innings in the NCAA tournament. 21 innings, 3 runs, 6 BB, 32 K's, ERA 1.29, 1 win, 3 saves.

 

He has been on fire. Hope he can keep it up.

 

Is that official? They have an "if necessary" day (Thurs) and an off day (Fri) built into the schedule before the start of the championship series.

 

With the exception of Neely, who has been fantastic, and maybe Jameson, our pitching has been not even close to “special” since Regionals started and to expect any different tonight is probably wishful thinking. Hopefully, Coppola can give us 3-4 innings and at least keep it close so we can mix and match our relievers the rest of the way. Neely threw 45 pitches yesterday (and 23 Saturday) so not sure we can expect more than one inning from him tonight so Jameson and some of the young relievers will have to step up.

Despite our starting pitching being a fiasco, the team has done a great job finding a way to keep winning games against really good competition over the last three weeks. Hopefully we can do the same tonight.

 

Then we’d be in a double header on the if necessary day. Remember we have to beat TAMU twice coming out of the losers bracket. Guess they could push it to Friday, but don’t think they would, and that would still put us at a disadvantage going into the championship series. I’d rather just play today, though it’s sure looking like we’re gonna find out what happens if we don’t.

 

So you're saying there's a chance?

 

I’ll add WIN!

 

That's where a potential doubleheader day could hurt us the most. His stuff was great yesterday. Even got someone out on a wild pitch (that may have actually ended up saving us the game)

 

I second that! Good luck tonight and here is hoping Jac adds one more HR to his total!!

 

It was noticeable in the game he pitched against Clemson. His FB was 90-91mph instead of the usual 96-97 and he was using the change more than usual.

 

Even 96-97 is way down. He was 99-101 through practice season.

 

Here are some stats from our most commonly used relievers (postseason), not all relief appearances:

Neely: 21 IP, 1.29 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, .174 BAA
Jameson: 12.1 IP, 3.65 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, .163 BAA
Fisher: 9 IP, 5.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, .270 BAA
Clemente: 6 IP, 9.00 ERA, 2.33 WHIP, .273 BAA
Menendez: 2.1 IP, 3.86 ERA, 2.14 WHIP, .250 BAA
McNeillie: 2 IP, 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, .200 BAA
Slater: 2 IP, 0.00 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, .167 BAA
