Sweep tomorrow gives us 17 league wins. That's a lock to host. One win at A & M gives us 18. Don't look now, but the national seed race is on. I think Vandy is out. LSU's only chance would be to take or sweep the Florida series because we hold the tie breaker over them. Florida and State are national seed locks, I believe. If A & M takes the South Carolina series, I think they are, too. Fourth national seed could be between us and South Carolina, and they hold the tie-breaker. But if we finish above them in the overall league standings, we could steal it. Unless the committee decides to award 5 national seeds to the SEC. Actually, the league deserves it. But they'll probably give the SEC 4, the ACC 3 and throw somebody else a bone.
We got into Kentucky's bullpen tonight. We need to bear down and send them home winless. No one has done it this year to them. But I don't think anyone has beaten up that Beggs guy (supposedly their ace) that bad, either. Five games left. If we take three of them, I think we're in the national seed conversation. Anything more than that and I think we're a good bet to get one.

And we get the sweep in walk off fashion. Lartigue with the 3 run walk off HR. This team has caught stride again. Hope they keep it up. To come from 5 runs down late in a game says a lot.
Also JB hit another jack. That guy is on fire.

What an amazing game. The bullpen is just so dominating. Got the call early and shut down any hope of Kentucky adding to their lead and gave the offense a chance to chip away. Blackman had another good day at the plate and Lartigue was sooooo clutch in the last at bat. Man what an awesome finish. This team has shown a lot of heart after that series loss at Bama.

39-13, 17-10, SEC. 4 games left. RPI moved to 5 because of the walkoff. There is no way we are not going to host, and a 2-2 finish could get us a national seed, depending on how South Carolina finishes. Pull for A & M to take that series, folks.

A & M just took the Carolina series. Pull for a sweep on Sunday. Then, pull for 'Bama to take 2 of 3 from Carolina in Tuscaloosa. If we win 1 game from A & M, we should finish above them in the overall league standings, get one of the four byes in Hoover and probably get a national seed. That way we don't have to meet any of our SEC brethren until Omaha.

Crazy game... We need have to get better pitching out of our game 3 starter. Glad to have the sweep never the less.WildRebel wrote:And we get the sweep in walk off fashion.

McArthur has had his shots. I think we go back to Chad Smith on Sunday.

Andy would be a good choice, too.
I like his command a lot more as a starter. He's been roughed up a couple times this year but it happens. He's still young and I think he'll shape up to be a weekend starter next year. Smith scares me with all the walks. If he cleans that up, all is good.

I would not mind a pitch my committee on Sunday, but it is probably too late to get into that mentality. Def not an area I can pretend to have any expertise in.
