  • 2024 AAC Tournament Central

    Let's start it up. Post whatever you want.

    Tournament Schedule

    Bracket

    Shocks and Blazers will tip things off at 9am (8 Wichita Time) on Tuesday in the 4-5 game. UAB will almost certainly go with Blayze Berry, their ace and likely the 2nd best pitcher in the conference.

    Here are his Friday results vs the AAC this season:

    vs WSU 5-3 win (7.0IP 6 hits 3 runs 3ER 0BB 12K)
    @ ECU 2-6 loss (5.2IP 6 hits 4 runs 2ER 3BB 3K)
    vs TUL 6-2 win (7.0IP 6 hits 2 runs 2ER 1BB 5K)
    @ Rice 2-4 loss (6.0IP 9 hits 4 runs 2ER 1BB 5K)
    @UTSA 7-3 win (5.0IP 6 hits 3 runs 3ER 2BB 5K)
    vs CLT 7-4 win (6.0IP 3 hits 2 runs 2ER 0BB 9K)
    @ FAU 12-1 win (7.0IP 2 hits 1 run 1ER 2BB 7K)
    vs Mem 12-2 win (6.0IP 5 hits 2 runs 2ER 1BB 7K)
    @ USF 4-3 win (7.0IP 7 hits 3 runs 3ER 2BB 9K)

    7-2 in conference. 1, 2 or 3 ER every outing. 12 walks, 62Ks. Hasn't gone past 7 innings but expect that to change unless he's completely gassed. He'll go as far as he can on his last collegiate start. The guy is the model of consistency.

    We need to foul pitches off. SLOW HIM DOWN FROM PITCH #1. Make him work as best as possible. You know he's throwing strikes, be prepared. And clearly, we're going to have to pitch well and play clean defense.

    Gimme 9AM over the late game. Game 4 of a baseball schedule that's unrealistic before the day starts, not even accounting for the 85% chance of a daily thunderstorm rolling through, is a recipe for midnight baseball at best, and not playing until Day2 at worst. And then you're really behind the 8-ball if you manage to advance. And while 9AM is closer to yesterday, it's MORE time to rest for future games. Like a full 12+ hours.

    I don't think there's a chance in hell we win it. I also felt that way in February. I also didn't think we'd be nearly as not bad as we have turned out to be. And dammit if they don't act like they give a **** about each other and about winning the friggin' games.

    Let yo nuts hang, boys. Chips fall where they may.

            If he gets fast balls, he at least has a chance.
