Mizzou coach holding Gibson for game 2

[ReservoirReb]

The most notable moment of the day was when Missouri head coach Tim Jamieson said he would hold his first-game starter until the second game.

“There is no guarantee,” said Jamieson, of beating Western Kentucky with Nick Tepesch (Soph., RHP, 6-4, 5.81) instead of Kyle Gibson (Jr., RHP, 10-3, 3.47). “But for us to win the Regional, (Gibson) is going to have to beat the home team. He’s the one that’s going to handle that the best.”

What Gibson has to handle, according to Jamieson, is 10,000 Ole Miss fans and the atmosphere that accompanies that, as well as the home team itself.

“It may not happen, and we may not get to that point,” Jamieson said of his Tigers beating WKU and facing Ole Miss, if the Rebs get past Monmouth as most predict. “But we’re not here to win (just) Friday. We’re here to win a Regional.”

May be a huge mistake. WKU can hit and I'm sure their #1 pitcher is fairly solid.

I hope it bites him... Goes against most what most coaches do.

It did bite him. WKU scored 6 in the 1st and 2 in the 3rd and lead 8-0 bottom of 3rd!

Mizzou is on their 4 pitcher of the game in only the 3rd. We'll see if they'll bring in their 5th new pitcher for the top of the 4th.

If nothing else, I feel much better about throwing Pom today.


We must, absolutely MUST win convincingly today. It will set a tone for our club for the weekend and put us in the drivers seat. Come on Rebs, STOMP THAT MONMOUTH ASS!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the update... If you can keep them coming it would be much appreciated. I am stuck at work and most websites are blocked, so I cant check the score.

I am going to have to go against the grain here, I had no problem with Coach Jamieson's decision. IMO he was looking at the big picture and trying to win a regional on the road. I believe he felt that he had a better chance of staying out of the losers bracket with Tepesch pitching against WKU rather than us, I tend to agree. Like I said in the Pom thread the losers bracket after the second game is just about as bad as after the first.

Yes, so far it hasn't turned out like he hoped but I feel his ultimate goal was to win a regional and this gave him the best chance to do so. On the bright side if Mizzou ends up losing this game he will at least have his ace trying to stave off elimination.
