Anybody know who we are going with on Wednesday?

I agree, Leal puts so much pressure on our defense with his slow delivery...
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Leal's weakness is holding guys on base. He is almost a gimme to steal 2nd. He was terrible against LSU, came back his next start and did a much better job of holding guys close on 1st, but since then a little inconsistent. Got a feeling we pitch Leal Wednesday, hoping to pitch Bailey in game 2. I think the key to this tourney is our offense. We will need to average 7-8 runs per game to compete - our bullpen down the stretch has been very inconsistent. Hoping all of our bats get hot at the same time!
I agree with on offense -
Our bats have to be hot to win...

Something else that really bothered me Saturday was all the throwing errors. We fielded the ball cleanly and made some horrible throws. Of course Robinson gunned a guy out at home and Mallard got the out at 3rd. Clayton picked off the guy at 2nd. Those were great plays, but we don’t need to depend on that.
I'll be in Hattiesburg this weekend fixing up our new house. If TECH gets to the championship, especially if its against USM, I should be able to make it down. Go dogs!
We match-up really well against Rice. All our lefty pitchers vs. all their lefty hitters. We've pretty much owned Rice the last 3 years (Tech is 9-3 vs. Rice, I think), and we've hammered their aces. And we needed a Top 100 opponent for our resume instead of a bad team like UAB.

When a Rice batter gets on first, he will be standing on third two pitches later.
The weather forecast is still ominous for this week in Biloxi. Expect many rain/lightning delays. The Saturday and Sunday forecasts look almost unplayable at the moment. Per Weather Underground, the thunderstorm chances don't drop below 51% at any single hour all weekend! Yikes!
He makes base runners look like Willie Mays Hays
