I will say that with Hjerpe probably starting tonight, the one guy I don’t want to see tonight is Ferrer.

I wouldnt throw Kmatz. I would let Jake have a get right game. Then throw your ace against an SEC power rather than the true freshman who struggles to get you 5 against mediocre teams. Already assuming Vanderbilt wins against San Diego, don't be so sure about that. That's on everyone that just assumed Vanderbilt was going to win. |

The point is you save your ace for the better team. Not the team under .500. Btw Stanford saved their ace. I think those guys are known for being pretty smart.. |

I poured a lot of fuel on this fire, but I start Hjerpe. New Mexico State has a bunch of big lefty bats and not too many righties that have put up good numbers. With Vanderbilt down in the losers' bracket, you really want to avoid a loss, because that would be a huge hole to climb out of. You really want to play a Mautz-less San Diego in the winners' bracket, because, despite the results of the early game, I worry much more about playing a desperate Commodore team than a Torero team with some momentum. Hjerpe has also shown that he can come back on one or two days' rest and give you some pitches, if he is needed on Monday. I cannot say the same for Kmatz or Pfennigs.

My .02, save Coop for tomorrow. If we can’t beat a team thats 8 games under .500 with our #2 starter than why are here? Their starter, Ian Mejia gives up 1.5 hits/walks/HBP an inning against WAC opponents. Our offense can pressure the hell out of him. Yes, this puts more pressure on the offense, and yes, starting Coop is an almost automatic win, but win tonight without Coop and OSU is in the drivers seat to make the Supers.
Go Beavers!!

So, the Gonzaga that travelled all the way across the country to play a de facto road game is the same team that we would have seen in Corvallis? If you are going to lose a game, the first one is the one that you want to lose. And Grand Canyon got paired with the best #2 seed in the Tournament in Arkansas. The Razorbacks lost their ace before the season started and have been rebuilding since. Arkansas' third baseman, who is supposed to be a first- or second-rounder went off today with two home runs and three RBI. (That said, I still hate those guys. I was really pulling for Grand Canyon to no avail.) From what I have seen, San Diego is the best #3 seed in the Tournament. San Diego is a better team than Gonzaga and proved it in Stockton. No one was talking about not wanting play San Diego, because the Toreros' RPI did not even warrant discussion. Now that San Diego's in Corvallis is here, it sucks that the Beavers drew the Toreros and not a second overrated #3 seed. I don't think that San Diego has the same topline pitching after Mautz as say a Gonzaga. So, hopefully, the Beavers get their hitters going tomorrow. |

So Gonzaga sent a different team to their regional? That’s weird. |

Their ace Gabriel Hughes got lit up by an Ivy League school yesterday.
Plus their bats couldn't do anything with a Columbia pitcher with a 5+ ERA.
If you want to be in a Super or CWS, teams like Gonzaga & Grand Canyon should be "road kill."

How'd throwing Hjerpe in game 1 turn out? Great, as you advocated! The earlier you throw your ace, the earlier you get him back. Not sure he could have pitched yesterday of he would have pitched on Saturday. |

Not sure he could have pitched yesterday of he would have pitched on Saturday. Hjerpe totally would have been able to throw at least an inning on one days' rest. I am not sure, if he could have pitched both the eighth and ninth, like he did on one days' rest, though. |

Plus, part of every tourney staffing decision is the quality/depth of that staff. It's a bit easier when you've got guys like Turpin, Patterson, Gundy, etc. Add, the use of pens and starters is a bit different than say '05-'07. For example, no way they use Cooper like Jonah in '06. One of the thoughts on why you throw Hjerpe first is that it seems like he can pitch on short rest. He threw 93 pitches against McNeese State in game two last year and then came back on one days' rest to throw an additional 20 against Dallas Baptist. That is somewhat reminiscent of Matt Boyd in 2013, who Casey threw first in the Regional, and it worked out. In the Super Regional, Boyd threw 123 pitches on Saturday and then threw 21 for the save on Monday on one day's rest. At Omaha, he threw an inning on Saturday and then came back on three days' rest to throw 116 pitches in a complete game four-hit 1-0 shutout. Joe Paterson (Saturday starter) threw six innings in game one in 2007 against Rutgers, and Turpen threw three innings to pick up his first save in the season. Casey saved Mike Stutes for Virginia to no avail. Stutes threw 6.1 but threw to one too many hitters, which allowed the Cavs to tie the game up in the seventh, the Beavs ultimately dropping the game in 13 innings. Tropical Storm Barry rolled through on the third, wiping out Sunday and moving everything back a day. That enabled Turpen to throw 7.1 innings over the two games (picked up the save in game one against Rutgers and started game two against Virginia) on Monday on two days' rest. Paterson also threw 3.2 innings on Monday on two days' rest and additional 3 innings on Tuesday. Paterson remained in the pen for the rest of the postseason. Stutes also returned on two days' rest and threw 4.1 in his Tuesday start. It would not surprise me, if Mitchy Slick throws Hjerpe like Nickerson, if pressed. I don't know if Hjerpe will be able to answer that call, though. Plus, hopefully, the 2022 staff is deeper than the one in 2006. Do you pick Loto numbers also? |
