MTSU Running Up the Score....

12-5 in the 7th. Our midweek pitching couldn't hold an average HS team to 3 runs in a game. It's unfortunate because usually 16 or 17 SEC wins or making the SEC Tourney gets you in the NCAA Tourney but losing all of these midweek games will ruin that for us. I believe that with this MTSU loss we'll have the same amount of midweek losses as SEC losses, unbelievable!

Tonight wasn't a midweek starter. It was supposed to be our Ace, Steve Crnkovich.

Crnkovich has gone from our Friday night ace at 4-0 with a sub 2 ERA to one of our midweek pitchers who will be 4-5 with an ERA around 6. How the times can change oh so quickly.

I just got home from the game. Our starter looked good untill the 5th, where he gave up 3 runs. I left early, so he must have had a bad 6th or 7th.

Another bad mid-week loss to an in-state team. These series wins over SEC teams don't mean a whole lot if we go out and suck it up on Tuesday nights vs. crappy in-state opponents.

I'll take winning two out of three from SEC teams and losing to MTSU.

The way this team is right now, they don't have a bullpen (Everett and Wiltz are hurt) and they don't have a 4th starter.

You can take that, but the NCAA selection committee won't.

So you're saying we're going to pull a UGA basketball tourney run?

Tennessee has a helluva lot better chance than UGA did.

It wouldn't suprise me to see it. It also wouldn't suprise me to see them eliminated very early

Correct. But our odds should be better of beating teams we're supposed to beat, like Tenn. Tech, MTSU and ETSU than winning the SEC Tourney, 3 more wins that would help that W-L record.
