Good win today! Dobson's bat is scary for a true freshman. Glad he stuck with us as NC State came after him hard when Pollard left.
Hard to believe the Furman turn-around. They couldn't get the ball over the plate on the fly in the past.

You are correct, I was thinking about the recovery time after UGa, not before.Blackandgold wrote:Can't flip the starting pitchers. The weekend guys already threw this weekend. That wouldn't give them enough rest btwn now and midweek. You don't wanna put them on short rest this early in the year.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote:That was my thoughts as well, but I don't keep up with this as some do so was wanting some expert opinion.mtnjax wrote:i don't expect either team to use weekend arms during these games.

Likewise for us. Being in the SoCon vs being in the SEC I would think we need this worse than they do for the the prestige win, but looking at WarrenNolan.com does not show a dominating UGa team with SEC coming up this weekend for them. We have Cornell coming up this weekend and Cornell has only played teams with RPI over 200 and are 3-4 at that. Do we go all in to try and take 2 from an SEC team?mtnjax wrote:Team really needs to take 1 of 2 from UGA this week, if not both to help out with losing 2 of 3 this weekend
i'm hopeful that the team can keep up the good hitting they've had the past 2 games against Furple and plate the runs like they did today
But if we flip some starters we don't have to worry about SoCon for close to a fortnight. Of course beating an RPI 80 team and losing at home to an RPI 280 team is not really helpful to us either.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Oh ok. I guess I don't understand what you're asking

Re: App @ Furman
Ok, the live stat's must have been incorrect then. It stated that both Burris & Kincaid hit during the top of the respective innings. It stated Burris grounded out for Dobson & Kincaid struck out for Holmes.Blackandgold wrote:He didn't pinch hit for Dobson. He put Burris in left in the 8th inning, replacing Dobson for defensive purposes. Burris is awesome outfielder, while Dobson isn't an outfielder, they just had him there today to get his bat in the lineup. So once Dobsons spot in the order comes up, Burris is hitting.AppDawg wrote: I think this is a mistake. 'Cello isn't a 3 inning guy this year. Also, why did we pinch hit for Dobson in the 9th with 2 on and 2 out? Dobson is 2-4 on the day with 2 HRs.

Re: App @ Furman
They did, but went in the bottom half of previous inning. One to run, one for D. I guess they don't update the live stats until the person comes up to the plate to bat. Dobson's home runs were missiles today. The first hit off the very top of the scoreboard.AppDawg wrote:Ok, the live stat's must have been incorrect then.
