Virginia Tech at South Carolina Regional Open Thread

PrintThe Hokies, fresh off an afternoon win over The Citadel, face the 'Cocks at 7:00 in what will be an elimination game for Va Tech. Hopefully we put the nix on any attempt by them to extend the series to tomorrow; I'm sure none of us what to go through that. The Gamecocks start Jay Brown and Va Tech is going with Matthew Price (7-3 4.54). Price pitched an inning yesterday but left early after the Hokies opened an early lead against Bucknell.

Coastal Carolina laid a whooping on their opponent today.
I think they have to beat College of Charleston twice if they want to advance. That’s good news for us.

I like moving Merrifield down the order a little.
Put some some of those home runs to good use.

Yeah, I'm not so sure that Clemson is better than Auburn. The Yellowhammer Tigers are pretty good.

Relatedly, what do you guys think the chances are of Kyle Parker jetting for pro baseball?
Garnet and Black Attack: A Blog by and for Gamecocks Fans.
depends
on if he is slated to go in first 2 rounds in my opinion. $$$ hard to say no to with risk of injury in football as he is a better MLB prospect (no chance for NFL)
USC Gamecocks Sports Analysis and Insight
www.leftoverhotdog.com
I agree with you.
His chances are better in the MLB if nothing else just because there are so few positions for QBs.

Not sure.
I read something over at STS a while ago that suggested he has more of a future in football than baseball. It will be hard to turn down a huge signing bonus if he get drafted in the first three rounds, though.

I think the idea that he has a better future in football is a Tigers fan myth. He might have an outside shot of making it in the NFL, but he's considered a very strong MLB prospect.

I agree.

Coastal battles back to grab a 6-5 lead

If you had to vote for Regional MVP currently whom do you choose?
Adrian Morales (7-13, 3 HR, 7 RBI 2 2B)
or
Evan Marzilli (6-9, HR, 2B, 5 RBI)
USC Gamecocks Sports Analysis and Insight
www.leftoverhotdog.com
Marzilli.
With the new line up we are such a better team. It gives Merrifield some protection finally.

I would go with Morales, but I agree that getting Marzili on the field more has been a really good decision.

Very nice. We've played well since late in the Bucknell game. I like our chances against either CofC or Coastal if we can keep this up.

I'm not convinced Coastal deserves their #4 national seed.
In fact, that sounds like a topic for a mid-week post.

I agree. The first thing that I thought when I saw the brackets was that we have a very favorable road to Omaha.

Honestly,
I’m not sure we could have asked for an easier road even if we had been a national seed. That’s not saying it’s automatic by any means, but I like our chances.
