Those are a couple of nasty stat lines. Will be a challenge no matter who we face. Hope we bring the bats.
While it doesn't mean he's their "ace," I believe Rocker is their typical Friday night starter.

Some data that may give you a smidgeon of hope. Presybterian:
1) Held Auburn to 1 run, eventually losing 2-1 in the bottom of the 10th.
2) Beat #3 seed Campbell 4x this year.
3) Went undefeated to win the Big South Tournament.
4) They've won 8 of their last 9 games, with the only exception being a 13-12 loss in the 11th inning.
Well, that's all I've got.

Do they have only <1000 students? I think I read that in a recent article about their new football coach who's the one who onside kicks 99% of the time.Some data that may give you a smidgeon of hope. Presybterian:

At NCAA regional, ‘full-circle’ return for Georgia Tech’s Malloy
On Monday, Georgia Tech third baseman Justyn-Henry Malloy gathered with his teammates at the team’s new Champions Hall at Russ Chandler Stadium to watch the NCAA Tournament selection show. Malloy’s hunch was that the Yellow Jackets would be sent to a regional at Mississippi State.
Just a reminder that Vanderbilt's 1-2 pitcher punch will likely have both of them going top 10 overall in the MLB draft.
Therefore, I think our strategy should be to lose to Indiana State, then beat Presbyterian in the losers bracket. By that point Vanderbilt's 2 pitchers will have both thrown, so then we get to beat them twice while playing other pitchers. On our side, by that point, we'll be pitching with, uhhhh, um. Uh.

Yes, and save Hurter for the THIRD ...... or maybe even FOURTH game. Brilliant!!!At NCAA regional, ‘full-circle’ return for Georgia Tech’s Malloy

When your #1 to #3 is better than the other team's #1, you have that luxury. He would have won pitching 3-2-1 or 4-3-2-1 or ..........
If pitcher's psyches are so fragile that they have to pitch every 7 days, well then, I guess I don't understand. It sure isn't physical at that age. Everyone pitches on 6 days when the schedules change. But pitchers must be like QBs and can't get replaced at their anointed times.

The strategy is appropriate for other reasons. You win the 1st game... then worry about the rest.
In Ga Tech's case (& the other 2 non-Vandy teams), the plan has to be put yourself in position to be unbeaten when you face Vandy the 1st time. I honestly don't understand the outthinking of this. The way more important pitching aspect of this weekend is how to manage the pen behind the starters. That's where the "hard decisions" will be made. Who starts game 1 is easy & not one that can actually be screwed up based on our current starting corps.

In the twitter thread, Ken says Rocker will start Fri for Vandy.

Well I suppose this settles it. Everyone in our regional is pitching the normal rotation.
I saw a tweet that Ole Miss will be saving thier big guns. Curious to see how it works out for them.
I'm excited. Let's do this.

FWIW... I did check on the 2 ACC teams off top of my head that are in 2/3 seed games with clear cut aces.
Both UVA (Abbott) & UNC (Love) are starting tomorrow for their respective teams.

Vandy is the massive winner in a Hurter - Guerrero start. Oh well. Our chances of winning regionals went from 20% to 15%. Not a big difference really.
Planning to take tomorrow afternoon off to enjoy. See y'all in chat.

Great lineup that has produced wins in the past. WREK for color and ESPN3 for video and Statbroadcast for stats and Tito's for ambiance.

We are 0-9 in the last 9 NCAA regionals. Fact.

I know he saved Conner Thomas in 2019 for the second game. Worked like a charm until there were 2 outs in the 9th against Auburn....
I think other years in past decade have been #1 going in first game, but usually we have been in the 2/3 game in those years.
