Baseball at SC Game 2, Sun 5/4, 1:30

So what’s the play here pitching wise for tomorrow? Got 6 1/3 and the 7 innings to get through. Does it matter if we have Liam finish this game out or start the third one? Do we see pierce on a limited (30 pitches?) count? Got to think anyone who went Friday is available for some work with Jake being the one most limited pc wise. Maybe start Jackson? Interested in everyone’s thoughts.

 

So does the 430PM rule not apply to tomorrow because we have to finish today's game?

 

0% chance of rain tomorrow afternoon.

 

Will this sucks. Got a bday party tomorrow PM. Oh well. Record and watch later...... Hopefully.

 

But if you go to Boston just “Don’t look Back”

 

Policy won't apply because next week is a break from UF classes.

"The policy specifies if the visiting team's institution does not have classes the following day (Monday), general curfew policies shall be waived. If the curfew is waived, no game may start after 10 p.m. local time or resume after midnight local time."

Thanks. The ESPN app on Roku still says "in a rain delay." I was going to post this. And yes, I am still posting it, even though it is obsolete.

 

I say have Liam pitch in game 2 and maybe try to pitch 6 1/3 to finish it. We have a one run lead and whoever pitches game 2 will be inheriting a runner on second base. I trust Liam in that spot more than anyone else. Besides, if we decide to make game 2 our bullpen game then that puts a lot more pressure on Liam to pitch 7 innings and finish the series. The only caveat would be if Pierce is available for a game 3 start they would have to predict his start time probably before game 2 is even over in order to figure out his warmup routine. He’d be pitching in the bottom of the 1st too so who knows how long/short the top half of the inning will be. But hey maybe I’m overestimating just how accurately they need to predict Pierce’s warmup routine.

 

Liam in game 1 as that game is HUGE!!!!

 

Gotta secure the series victory before anything else and gotta throw Liam to get that.

Game 1 Liam- Jackson- Barlow. Liam gotta give us 4-5.
Coppola-McNellie- McDonald- Jake in game 2.
