Happy Easter. “In the beginning (big inning), God created the Heavens and the Earth”.

Big week. ETSU is 27-11 and an at-large contender. And Southern Miss is 27-13 and ranked in the Top 25

[Stonewall]

Our RPI took a dive. Not that it really matters at this point. Need a top six finish.

Old Warren has APP finishing any where from T-8 to 5th with the live tracking. Earlier today it had APP at 26-27 for the year now it switched to 27-26. 7-5 will get them a top 6 for sure. 8-4 (tall task) damn nears gets them near top 2 IMO. There isn't going to be an ALB. Gotta win the SBC.

It's gonna be an interesting ride.

Would be huge to knock off etsu and find a way to win series against smiss

[Saint3333]

If given the choice I'd trade a loss today to take 2 of 3 this weekend.

[BambooRdApp]

No choice needed, we winning today and taking the series this weekend

[Saint3333]

Top six seeds are shaping up as follows.

Locks: Very good teams with favorable schedules - CCU, Troy, and S. Miss.
Very likely: GS, only one tough series vs. ULL remains
Probable: ULL and App - two tough series and two easier series
Needs some help: GA St., Texas St., ODU
Unlikely: Ark St. - brutal schedule remaining
The rest no chance.

Really need a W vs. ETSU.
Southern Miss has 2 midweeks and then sleeper bus to Boone throughout Wednesday night/Thursday morning, won't get to Boone until noon Thursday. They'll be exhausted.
Great time to take advantage of it.

With the weather forecast the way it is (mid to lower 60's and wet this late in the season) it's an advantage for APP and up there it's gonna play colder. They are winning at least 1 maybe 2 games after seeing So. Miss is playing 2 quality week day games. Was told they are flying Friday morning...can anyone confirm that? Would love for them to have a nice 9 hour ride after the game.

Today looks wet but with a window to get one in.

According to Kermit on the podcast yesterday, USM isplaying today and tomorrow and then sleeper bus overnight to Boone. Kermit said they'll get in around 1pm Thursday after bussing overnight and in the morning. Huge advantage for us. Boy, I hope they show up. Really need the weather to cooperate. That is a horrible travel stretch with 2 midweeks and 11 hour bus ride in bad weather.

Edit: USM just cancelled their game today v Tulane. Still have SELU at home tomorrow.

Plus it's an hour time change right?

I believe so.
1. Hope they do get here safe, some nasty weather coming.
2. Would love 3 chances against them.
3. Need to take 2 after the week of ball and travel they'll have.

Win tonight first though. Let Clark work and get extended. I think him and Harris could be the 3rd option if we just let them go 1 more inning or 15-20 more pitches. Wish we'd have been working both of them a little longer. Ideally instead of getting 2 or 3 out of them we really need 3-5 out of them to have a shot in the tourney.

What tourney are you talking about? NCAA? That ship has sailed. 3-11 against Q1 and Q2. RPI 166 - gonna have to be in the top 100 plus 10 wins over .500 to get a sniff. Just don't see it. They would need to win SBC for that to happen IMO.

SBC Tourney. We can't just have 1 starter (Cross) and Bradley Wilson long relief. Someone else has to give us more than 2 innings at a time. Just wish we would have worked Clark and Harris a little more so they could be those guys to give you 4-5 innings and not just 2. Or work Welch back up, or Best. Someone.

OK whew I was really confused. My bad. Top 6 I can see - they built a nice cushion with the teams they should have beat...now it's time to steal a few.
