BTW, the reason I always call Will Gilbert by the moniker of “Weeell” is because there’s a gal who had tix a few rows in front of me this season who really likes Will and has a very deep southern accent. I always enjoyed it when he’d come in from the pen. She’d start yelling “Weeell!!!!” like her life depended on it.
If I’m thinking straight (which is always a crapshoot, btw)…the only way we make it to Sunday now is:
FSU loses to both Miami and GT.
We beat both Miami and GT.
GT beats Miami.We’d tie GT at 2-1 in the pool, we’d go via head to head win.
EDIT – I wasn’t thinking straight (told ya).
If the first two happen, the GT/Miami game wouldn’t matter as even if Miami won, we’d still be tied with Miami at 2-1 with the head to head tiebreaker.So not as dire as I thought. But still not ideal.
^ The main thing is we need FSU to lose two (to avoid the head to head tiebreaker loss with them as well as the chance of the 3 way tie where seeding comes in). Oh and we also do need to win two. Still a lot to ask…but not impossible.
Basically, one more FSU win and we’re toast either way.
OH….and I still hate pool play format. Just saying.
I get the whole saving pitching. But I don’t like the fact that meaningless games get played. Or that it might be meaningless for one team while not the other.
Gimme double elim any day of the week.Wuf, (or anyone else that wishes to answer) not that it matters at this point as FSU’s last run was inconsequential, but do you believe that Dejuneas deserved a WP in the ill-fated bottom of the eighth, or should Knizner have been charged with a PB? Having been a catcher years ago, it’s something that you pay attention to. I’d bet CD pays attention to that stuff too.
Hmmm, interesting. At the time I was so emotional that my “fan driven mind” just knee-jerked to WP. I’ll have to go back and look.
Just rewatched the WP/PB in question.
Tough call. Almost looks like they got crossed up upon further inspection. But yeah, Knizner shoulda kept that one in front of him.
Still not sure how I’d score it necessarily.What’s the word on Williamson? I understand he was a no-go for ACC tournament regardless of how many we play. Will he be ready for the regional?
Wuf, I think Knizner picks, yeah, he picks, especially backhands, and does not use his body to block pitches that are down and away,and I especially hate it with runners on base. I suppose he hasn’t figured out the value of a chest protector just yet. I realize that he is still relatively new to the position, but his picking is inexplicable to me. He should have gotten better defensive teaching in the last two years. His defense is not a new angle on the game such as changing the way a catcher used to catch a fowl pop up (glove up), twenty years ago with a no break mitt, or the proper bunting stance, pitch counts, or other significant changes to the game since. The catcher’s defense is not up for review for a new training manual. Use your dang body. Keep the ball in front of you. Yeah, he’s a picker, I just worry about his commitment to stopping the ball with runners on base, or is it poor coaching? Today, catchers use their body in the show…everyday..that’s the job, it has not changed, it is the position.
