Thanks for all of the mid-week and weekend threads. Makes following everything very simple.

Here's a quick look at the A&M vs. UF game tomorrow using SEC conference games only stats:

Batting Ave.: A&M - .263, UF - .262
Runs Scored: A&M - 111, UF - 120 (played 1 more game, had an 20 run advantage entering last weekend)

ERA: A&M - 4.30, UF - 4.00

Fielding: A&M - .978 (4th in league), UF - .981 (2nd)

Over the past 3 weeks, UF has been playing like we did in the month of April. They are 2-7 in their last 9 SEC games, taking 1 game from both Auburn and Georgia. They were crushed as LSU swept them.

If the level of play extends into the tourney for both teams, A&M would be a clear favorite tomorrow night. Nothing is certain in baseball, however.

Who's going to be pitching for the Ags?

Will this be streaming somewhere?

ESPN3

Mengden will start according to the Bryan paper

Sweet, thanks.

I would start ray tonight and then save mengden for game 1 against vandy

McGibb - do you realize if we lose to Florida that there is no game against Vandy??

Ya I realize that, but I would rather put Ray against a Florida team who he would have a shot at beating, and saving our ace who has proved to be excellent against great teams. Especially since we need to beat vandy to make the ncaa tourney

You can't do that. I know where you're coming from, but you have to go with what gives you the best chance of playing tomorrow. Parker would have a chance against Florida, but Mengden gives a better chance. That's why he has to go today. If you don't win today, it doesn't matter. 95% of coaches would do the same thing in this situation.

I hate sounding bitter but it angers me that they're showing the 9:30 and 12:00 games on Fox affiliates but can't show the other 2 games?!? It makes no sense...

I would agree that you throw mengden in any other circumstance, but considering that we must beat vandy to make the tournament, and that ray has been pitching excellent recently, that's just what I would do

What exactly is CSS? Does that mean we won't be able to watch the game?

No, Mengden is the right choice to start today. Lose today and there is no tomorrow.

Go Aggies. Go Mengden.

The solution to that is quite simple: don't lose to Florida. Duh.

A lot of cable providers have it. It's on Suddenlink here in BCS. Unfortunately, I have DirecTV. It should be on ESPN3.

Aside from us beating Florida (duh...) we also need Ole Miss to hang on and win this game. Since we played (and beat) Ole Miss this year but didn't play Kentucky, a Rebel win would ever-so-slightly help our RPI. Plus, Kentucky is RPI #38 coming into this game and we're at #43. We'll be competing head-to-head with Kentucky for one of the final at-large spots. Ole Miss is at RPI #18 and safely in the NCAA field.

Good! We need that Win over Florida now.

Alabama vs. Auburn. Which win is best for us ???

[This message has been edited by Yell Practice (edited 5/21/2013 12:09p).]

Alabama RPI = 28

Auburn RPI = 32

I'd say we need to root for Auburn, since we actually have a win over them. Best thing for A&M would be for both of these teams to declare themselves ineligible for post-season play, thus freeing up more spots for us.

Nope, not with only 3 days rest. I'm nervous about Mengdon pitching on only 4 days rest. They usually get 6 days rest.

I agree with McGibb and would save Mengdon for tomorrow. Both Florida and A&M expect 1 more win will get us to the NCAA tourney and that is why Mengdon is pitching today. My feeling is if we cannot beat Florida with another pitcher( I would go with Grayson Long since P Ray needs rest) we might as well call it a season and go home. I would love to see Mengdon pull off an upset against Vandy but do not see any other pitcher capable at this time.

I know I said we should root for Auburn to win this game, but I'm not sure if it really matters. We're closer to Auburn in the RPI, so with a loss today I guess they'll drop a little. And if we beat UF, we'll climb some. I guess it's possible to catch Auburn in the RPI, but doubtful.

Long story short: I don't think this game matters to us. We still need 3 wins in Hoover.
