And with good reason, because Vandy with Rocker is reckoned a cinch to win this national championship. After seeing what Vanderbilt did to Stanford--which is what Mount St. Helens did to unsuspecting trees--only zealots and lovers of stray dogs give N.C. State any chance.

I kinda like State's chances better Friday afternoon.flylike44 said:wilmwolf80 said:

Very well played sir.

Looks like there is going to be a lot of storms in the area the next few days. Could make pitching decisions very interesting if we get any rain delays.
No need to change it up now. We'll see y'all tomorrow in Omaha at Blatt Beer & Table to pregame for @NCStateBaseball! pic.twitter.com/Oor3bhLdX9

If that does end up being the case for Friday (likely rain delays) then I'd probably go with Willadsen -- because he is almost always paired up with Villaman, and if there's a long rain delay that prevents Willadsen from returning to the game, then it would be a natural progression to have Villaman go out there and continue for State.
I like where your head's at but it would have to be timed up just right, I'd think. We'd also lose our starter too BUT we could counter with Villaman which isn't a terrible plan B.kmb717 said:AlleyPack said:kmb717 said:

Rain delays may not be a bad thing for us. Could knock Rocker out of the game.

I've seen state fans arguing and disagreeing but it's pretty obvious to me that the plan for NCSU arms is hope that Willadson/Villlaman can get you around 7 innings and then have a fully rested Justice slam the door. If we lose on Friday you come back with Reid and have a fully rested Highfill ready to roll for game one of the CWS. I don't really think it's even that big of a question. It's what makes the most sense long and short term and at this point you have to be playing to win the CWS

Avent said on Packer and Durham that it might happen. A Philip Rivers siting would be the trifecta along with DT.packgrad said:
Wonder if we'll see Russell in the stands this weekend.

Yep. I'm inclined to agree with this more and more as I read people post their thoughts.3rdGenPacker said:
You've gotta stick with Willadsen for Friday. Between the ACC championship against Duke and the Super Regional championship game against Arkansas, he's thrown over 8 innings with only 6 hits and 2 runs, and the 1 run against Arkansas was unearned. He's proven he can go out in big environments against top competition and get the job done for several innings, then pass it off to Villaman.
That recipe has been successful and if it works again, then you've got Johnston fresh for Game 1 on Monday. If not, you've still got Johnston for the deciding game on Saturday.
Bracket one final on deck tomorrow.

Why wouldn't we start Reid?
I was talking some Vandy fans last night at the game and they said they expected Rocker- Fri and Leiter- Sat (if necessary). FWIW. Doesn't really make much sense bc that would basically eliminate Leiter from being available in the finalsJames Henderson said:Sorry, meant could they go back to him on 4 on Saturday.AlleyPack said:James Henderson said:
Obviously you don't want to think about Saturday but can they come back with Leiter Friday?
Highly doubtful -- especially considering the Vandy coach is known for being overly cautious with his pitchers.
Leiter would be on only three days rest should he pitch on Friday.
Even if he pitches on Saturday (on four days rest) there's a chance he won't be as sharp/effective as the last time we saw him.
