GBR!

Mason Mac getting the start. I thought the plan would be to hold him for tomorrow and go with Walsh/Brockett today.

Brumbaugh replacing Stone as the DH.

Was hoping they would move Swanson to DH and put Evans in left field

And Stone pinch hits and extends his 0-fer streak to, what, 20?

I know. He just got his first hit in what seems like his last 30 at bats

 

[BrighteRed24]

2nd and 3rd with nobody out and we can’t bring them home. Huge missed opportunity there

 

[coolonetoo]

The first three batters of the game were regrettable, but McConnaughey only gave up two runs over the next six innings. No complaints.

 

[BrighteRed24]

Survive and advance!

Who we rooting for tonight? I say Florida.

I assume Okie State would be tougher to beat twice so I guess we root for Florida.

Okie State has a recent history of failing at the regional level. I’d rather face them with them thinking about the prospect of choking again.

Assuming Florida will hold their pattern of starting Caglianone in game 3 of their weekend so. . .he'd be starting either way and likely would eliminate NU 😐

Caglianone is starting tonight against OSU.

I’m rooting for a 15 inning marathon that burns multiple pitchers on both sides with the Gators pulling it out in the end

 

[HuskersNC]

I'm surprised they threw him tonight. Hopefully he's too sore to play tomorrow.

Makes sense to pitch him as going 2-0 in a regional gives you over 80% odds of winning that regional.
