    Yes, we are locked into making the Tournament. Obviously, you want to be seeded as high as possible but perhaps more importantly you would like to be in the bracket opposite from ECU. But at some point you probably have to beat ECU anyway, although they are playing great lately so who knows. All questions about seeding will be resolved at the end of this weekend. In the meantime, let's hope the Shocks are zoned in and fired up. Hard to believe they won't be.

      Right but now the issue is do we rest Favors and LaPour for the tourney and not worry about seed too much or do we throw the full artillery at Memphis trying to get the best seed we can abd risk going into the tournament a little tired? Or something in between? Or play it by ear depending on how things progress?

      Those are tough calls to make.

        Not trying to play 2 today feels like a mistake in all ways.

          I don't think they will fully rest Favors and LaPour and I don't think they should. However, I would be surprised if they are not on a strict pitch count of any where from 45 to 60 pitches. I think it would be good to get all of our pitchers who we are likely to use in the tournament at least a little work vs MemphEx. So I am expecting this weekend will feel like a Johnny Wholestaff approach.

              As '72 said, we're in as far as Clearwater is concerned. But we can still finish in any seed spot except 1.

              Looking at numerical probability and outcome probability, three four or five are the most likely seeds, to me at least.

                Listen to the podcast
                Kam Durnin is fast becoming a favorite Shocker for me and this interview certainly doesn't diminish my enthusiasm for Kam.

                    Rest vs Rust. Need the rest but don't need the rust.

                        Is the MemphEx 3B any relation to Carole?

                          MemphEx is begging us to blow this game open. I say we oblige.

                            Wtf just happened? He hardly leaned in any more than most do. And even if he did how the hell would it be an out? Still a ball, no?

                                The rule is if you lean into it then it’s a strike.

                                And it’s still a horrible call.
