We could really benefit from a sweep this weekend. Hope these guys bring out the brooms. Will finishing 6-3 or 5-4 in the remaining SEC games get us over the hump? Or do we need 7-2 so that we're .500 in the conference?
4-5 is probably enough to qualify. 5-4 is basically a lock. 6-3 is a lock. 7-2, especially if that includes 2-1 @ UT, gets our boys in the hosting discussion. That said, the host "bubble" looks tighter than the "get in" bubble.
The tba and talk about what we need to qualify made me think of an interesting strategy… what if for the remainder of the season we went tba on Friday (we get the win great, if not no big deal) and then ran with king and peterson sat. sun. respectively. Normally would not make sense but if we kind of sell out to get 4/5 wins we might have the best chance matching our best pitcher against their worst starter. And as to a host I think we’d probably have to go 9-1 over these last 10 games for that to happen.
