Want to see a preview of Ohio State?

_ I will probably stay at the Courtyard Marriott on Hwy. 6, instead of driving in from Lakeway (on Lake Travis 30 min. west of Austin) each day.

Let's hookup in College Station.

BTW, where are your seats? I managed to get Section 120 (Reserved at end of infield, 3rd base side), Row 3.

Great seats! We'll be at the LaQuinta College Station arriving Friday night. We are in Section 209 behind the plate, Row 4 on the end. See you there!

Even better seats ... I assume these were the player parents' tickets being offered for sale?

[Dad04]

Not at all. There are a bunch of good seats available upstairs behind the plate with low row numbers, at least for today.

_ Unfortunately, the Buckeyes will be facing Danny Farquhar, and he is a good one. _

Do we start the more experienced Moody in game #1 and save Danny for A&M Saturday? Or, do we go Farquhar then Moody as has been the last few weeks?

The website probably picked the 100 sections as the "Best Available" seats until they sold out ... then went to the 200 sections behind the plate. I would imagine for some of the games you will be able to move around. Olsen Field is a decent sized park. I wonder if the train is going to come through during game time.

_ They are a one pitcher team. The also don't have a great power hitting team, they do hit .316 as a team. Meaning they are a good hitting team, they just don't have any hitters with double digit HR hitters.

We are 15-2 vs Left handed pitchers. _

but that one pitcher is going against the Cajuns... Being a #2 and going against a #3's ace, and big 10 pitcher of year, is a lot different than being a #1 v #4 at home. Hopefully the Cajuns can beat the odds and win the regional. Had they been at home, they would have been heavily favored to do so.

I wonder if Van deKeere is going to make the trip? I would think that he would not be used aginst Ohio State since their starter is a lefty. I would assume that Tony is going to bring an extra pitcher like he did for the conference tourney. It really is ashame that Van deKeere had such a poor year after what he did last year.

Assuming we get past OSU, we likely face A&M. They pitch well and bat. I am a little surprised they are LAST in Big 12 fielding percentage. Additionally, they have struggled with their #3 starter.

Yes, Migl has been off and on. He is a softer throwing righty that relies on command and his changeup. About 84 -> 86 on the gun. He does not have the command Moody does, nor the 2-seam fastball inside for the strikeout.

I will be doing a small writeup for the College Station regional for SEBaseball.com. Expect to see it sometime Thursday.

Farquhar will go for the Cajuns Friday afternoon.
