Pitching plan for Hoover?

[TNSportsman]

Anyone have an idea of the pitching plan this week? Stallings tomorrow? Where do we turn after that with Crochet not pitching?

 

[RollerVol]

I'm sure Coach V has a plan...we'll probably know right before the game...

GO BIG ORANGE!

The best plan would be to use a lefty vs. Vandy if we advance but Auburn has good left handed bats too.

Stallings is projected game 1 pitcher...

GO BIG ORANGE!

Since we're looking to win a game in the tournament for the first time since 2007 I imagine Coach V will go with Stallings and look for a very pleasant day against Auburn.

I'd set the rotation wth the regional in mind. I don't see the regional seed changing even if we won the tourney.

I'd hold Stalling back until Thursday if I was making the call.

Totally get this line of thinking, but I do think a run in the conference tournament could give confidence for the rest of the postseason and have carryover into 2020. I really struggle to think we can beat a #1 seed at their place 2 out of 3 times - which is essentially what it will take to advance - without Crochet. I'm hopeful he can pitch but I don't see him being the same with a mask.

Maybe Tony V. rolls the dice and saves Stallings for game 2 of a regional against the host school.

Really? Cockrell said Sunday on the Mathews show he figured Heflin or Neely. We shall see.

I dont see Neely starting any of the games. I believe Hunley or Sewell will fill in and start for Crochet if we go a few games deep into the tourney.

Neely?...wow...that blows me away...guess it depends on Coach V's strategy for the SEC Tourney vs the regionals...well, guess we'll see today...and...

Looks like the Aggies are trying to give this one away.

Yep I see you as well. Pretty good seats I guess. Are your seats at home games behind the left hand batters box first row ?

Live in Nashville so don't see Vols except at this tournament & sometimes when UT plays vandie.
