Probably nice for an extra day of rest for our pitchers, but the potential for another Monday game is not great. Definitely going to keep that day free of meetings this time.

TV rules game times, but did Auburn no favors... travel, games start 10:30pm, 10pm their time, and will be in low 50's, high 40's for Sat/Sun night. Huge advantage home team and why you play the other 56+ games.
I honestly can't see OSU playing as bad as they did in the Regional this Super. If a team was going to lose it would have been how they played vs NM St and Vandy. But, more key hits typically wins. The only caveat, OSU/Cooper must win game 1!! I don't feel very good about OSU winning 2 in a row with how Kmatz threw and no Cooper to save the day in a short format.

Kmatz really worries me against power-hitting SEC teams. Need a lot more junk than what he has in his toolbox; teams have hit pretty hard against him all year, and he's leaned heavily on good defense and good run support. He saved our ass during the regular season with Pfennigs and Frisch out, but I wonder if re-thinking our rotation this weekend might be worthwhile.
Hunter really impressed yesterday, with that killer changeup. I like him against aggressive SEC bats. Probably can't count on it fooling batters more than 1-2 times through the order, but I like Hunter in a game 3. I kinda like the idea of Kmatz coming in relief of Hunter around the 4th inning, to further mess with their timing after they've adjusted.
My off-the-cuff pitching rotation for the weekend, barring a huge collapse that causes an early pull, would be something like this:
Sat: Hjerpe/Ferrer/Brown
Sun: Pfennigs/Sebby/then situational depending on whether we're 1-0 or 0-1 after first game, and whether this game is winnable (ie, if we're facing elimination, then nobody is off-limits)
Mon: Hunter/Kmatz/Ferrer/Brown

Maybe Hunter as our #2, with his change up he has some swing and miss against teams that are looking to hit the ball out of the park.

He looked pretty sharp Saturday night in relief of Pfennigs. MB. |

With 9 HR given up, more than 2x the number of HR allowed than any other Beaver pitcher (i.;e. the 'gold standard' Hjerpe has given up 3 HR). I suspect (hope) he'll 'cure' that as a Sophomore...but the time is NOW. |

In my head, the relievers who I've generally felt pretty good about all season when they came in are Ferrer, Brown, and Sebby. Anybody else, and there's just not that level of consistency that we want to rely on when we're playing for all the marbles. |
