A close game ended not so close. Campbell then Tennx2, so long as we can keep winning. 3 straight gets us to supers.

Used up bullpens are great no matter what, but we want Campbell to win, right? I'd rather beat Tenn once and face a thinner camel staff.

Maybe McGuire with a quick hook, and Maxwell can step in if needed? I agree with the idea of 'pitch your starters' but I just don't see how we make it past Sunday without Grissom.

Rough game 1. Let's avoid elimination, and prove we're the superior stinging insect in this regional. Does Grissom take the mound, or do we throw Huff and save Grissom for Sunday?

Agreed, I'm confident we would win a larger series. The problem with this matchup is we're going to see their ace today. I'm less concerned with the depth after that. Hoping our guys can put together some good at bats, drive up the pitch count, and get to the bullpen.

The D1 preview podcast is pretty good. Here's what they think of the Knoxville Regional, for what it's worth. Nothing groundbreaking. - Tenn was "pushed to the brink" a number of times in the SEC tournament, and this will not be a cakewalk. - Tech matches up well offensively with this...

I think that has to be the plan. Medich in Game 1, Grissom in Game 2. I'm sure it'll be opponent-dependent beyond that. Obviously the goal is to win Game 1, but the secondary goal is to preserve our bullpen. I'd love to save Maxwell for Game 2.

Ugh. Am I going to have to get ESPN+?

I don't know, I mean we did get a 2-seed. There was room to fall. We have to bats to beat anyone if they're on. LFG.

Thankfully, plenty of teams in our neck of the woods not named Tennessee. It could certainly happen, but it doesn't seem inevitable.

I mean, I agree because we've been burned with that strategy. But some coaches have been successful saving thier ace for the second game.

Newest RPI rankings are showing 22. The longer the regional goes, the lower our odds. Hoping we don't face a 1-seed with a deep bullpen. I'd love to see the host burn thier starter in the first game vs a 4-seed, and we can feast on what's left of their bench.

Medich already giving up too many hits. Damage limited to 2 runs, but he doesn't look confident.

There's a lot of internet hate on the ACC tournament format, but I really think everyone is just missing the point. The extra games are by design for all those bubble teams, and while it's frustrating to a fan to see an inconsequential game, this is a smart play by the conference...

So who, more knowledgeable than me, knows our pitching outlook in the tourney? Shorter turnaround than normal. Medich threw almost 100 on Thursday; will he be good to go vs Pitt? Then Grissom vs Lville?

I like your optimism, but I'm not so sure. I think we're squarely off the bubble, but currently a 2-seed feels a bit like a reach. I think we can get there, just not sure yet.

God can you imagine? Statesboro would get rowdy.

The top 4 seeds have their bids locked up. I wonder if resting starters plays into the conference tourney strategy.

Depends on how other conference races and stolen bids shake out over the next week. But we had 10 in 2016.

I'll play. HOKIES JACKETS CANES HOOS
