Well I see only my drinking buddy is picking us. Vegas has us as the 3rd best odds (3.5 - 1) ...just behind Ark and Vandy (3 to 1)
This team just has a buzz to it this year. Not just right now. but this whole year. If we get to 2-0 over AU and Lville/Vandy.. and then are sitting with the National FR pitcher of the year (JT Ginn) waiting for his turn.. I think a few more people might give us some respect.
This team has been there. Now they just need to finish the job.
You might think so. But we will see, Plate discipline. If you watch the Pitching Ninja break down the K pitches. not one is a strike. all but 1 of his K's came on swinging.
Not to mention the guy went ALL IN for 131 pitches. How will he bounce back from that we will see and yes I know he has just over a week of rest till that game.
Either way if that matchup happens. I feel confident we can match up with them fine across the board. We only played once this year and it was Small vs Fellows and we lost 1-0 but didn't have Big Hit Mac playing and jake was in a 1 for 35 slump or so.
Bring them on. Drake or Rocker doesn't scare us. Actually noone in the tournament scares us. Would love another winner takes it all vs ark in the finals. We changed our team after we got swept by them and went on fire.
If you think it's Ttech... well we beat them 4-2 earlier this year. Would be a fun series. Tadlock's team is a fun brand of ball to watch.
But first, lets see who is going to pitch for Auburn. Tanner Burns?
