BB SBC Championship Sunday Final: Louisiana 2, Southern Miss 6

That doesn't make it right but I'm sure you'll still be selective on the coach's toy crush for it

Been saying this since yesterday. And he just so happens to have the second lowest WHIP on the team…

I definitely see Moody getting some action today. Etheridge will pitch. Fluno to start. Others available as well. As I mentioned yesterday, the Cajuns have more real options today than they did last night.

Meanwhile, Hall will be going on three days' rest (102 pitches Wednesday). He may not be himself as well.

Potentially facing USM in the championship is why I was pulling hard for App State in the first game yesterday. I wanted the pitching playing field a little more level should the Cajuns make it to Sunday. Unfortunately, App State allowed USM to throw a single pitcher complete game in 7-inning run rule fashion (the bracket final). But it did eliminate Armistead as an option for today. USM threw only three pitchers yesterday (Adams, Sivley, Armistead). The rest of their staff has not thrown since Wednesday/Thursday. Southern Miss has plenty of available arms, including Storm.

Is it ok on April 28 in a critical end of season series? Well you darn sure it is after a less than bull pen outing (19 pitches} 3 days earlier . . .

This version of JT Etheridge has been, dare I say, dominant.

But you nailed it in a previous post. The HP ump’s zone will determine a lot today.

The hell are you talking about? I’ve been saying all year how much I can’t stand the way we manage pitching.

[Professor]

Correct. Ethridge has been nasty, big time closeresque

[CajunVic]

We have as good a chance today as any day to win this thing. Variables go in both directions. We are on a hot roll. Let’s go at 1:00 and shot us some buzzards . ..

But you approved it today . . .

Holding CC to 4 runs in two games in one day was the highlight of this season, so far. Post season is about who gets hot. Nobody was hotter yesterday.

Michael Dorantes was the HP ump for game 1 of our series at USM. He is one of the 9 (I think it’s 9) in Montgomery and did HP for USM App game 1 yesterday and was in the field last night for our game

Not sure how crew is selected, but I feel like a guy who did HP for a regular season meeting between the teams should be behind HP for the championship game
