Sun Belt Tournament action …

[GoneGolfin]

I just figure seasons on the line, pitcher was at 91 pitches and had only thrown 50 last Thursday maybe go one more. But I know he’s been a reliever for them and 50 is about his upper limit most of his games the season. Maybe he hit a wall

I would venture to say that Georgia State had not seen six scoreless innings of pitchings all season, so yes … keep going with the hot hand unless you see something. Maybe they did see something.

I was thinking that when the Panthers ultimately went to their sieve-like bullpen, the zero would disappear.

Boy did it. Dude with the glasses came in and gave up bombs to the first 2 guys he faced.

Who would we rather face in our first game tomorrow? I'm thinking ODU.

Agree. I feel good about southAl game 2 being a fluke but don’t want to test the theory.

ODU going to their closer (Gomez) in the 5th. He has been their top relief arm.

ODU going with their top bullpen arms in this one, in lieu of using a starter. South Alabama and Georgia State used the same strategy today.

Huge balk call. Instead of a groundout for the second out, the play is a no pitch. Stallings of ODU then proceeds to hit a two-run blast over the LF wall (well gone) to tie the game.

Or I’ll go for a 26 inning game with whoever winning. Haha

Is ODU winning better for us?

They can pitch. Runs will probably be tough to come by. But they scored exactly 1 run in the 3 games in Lafayette earlier this year.

If you mean RPI-wise, no. But at this point, it really doesn’t matter. Cajuns need to win a couple games to secure a 2 seed

Hopefully they spent some pitching tonight

As I mentioned, they threw their two best bullpen arms tonight (Bashara started and Gomez closed). Their closer came on in the 5th and finished the game.

But they do have other capable arms. Just need to play loose and execute.

Brian -

Any idea why Cajuns go Morgan over Hermann tomorrow vs. ODU?

Also - GA Southern is #67 RPI. Any chance they could move into the Top 60 withOUT a win over the Cajuns - maybe just by beating JMU twice and losing to the Cajuns twice? To give the Cajuns 3 more wins vs Q1.
