Why are we throwing Mahron?


Not sure when else he'd have been thrown if not today



In one of the other three meaningful games we are hoping to play this week. This one is meaningless.

Because he's a meaningful arm and this is a meaningless game.


Good experience in case he has to start one of our regional games

I would have preferred not throwing Marohn tonight, but I'm going to trust the hall of fame coach here


I hoped to have him available for long relief later, which is still possible depending on how long he goes tonight. There's an argument to be made for keeping everyone in the same routine when you've been going along really well, which I imagine is why he's starting.
Just a guy on the sunshine squad.

There's absolutely something to be said for routine (I.e tonight as the "meaningless" mid week game) and keeping the foot on the gas mentally no matter who shows up. Avent knows this team infinitely better than any of us do
Why not us?

some really good plate approaches by State early on. State batters simply don't swing at bad pitches. That puts a lot of pressure on opposing pitchers...this dude is pitching his ass off and he's already at 50 pitches in the top of the third with no outs.

I KNEW Sosa was gonna get one there. I told my fiance he was about to hit one into the street. Didn't quite get there, but still smoked.

That was a straight line drive. Didn't stop it's momentum until it hit something. Crazy power.

Chase Nixon and Soles are such pros. They do not swing at bad pitches and it's a huge boost to make the opposing pitchers throw a ton of pitches.

What is the mercy rule?
Is it 10 runs?

What's the run rule?

This is exactly what I was thinking. I don't know if the 10 run rule is in effect for the tourney but if so that would be awesome to get out of here fast and call it a quick day.

Pretty sure it's 10 after the trailing team has batted in the 7th.

It is in effect because UVa had one earlier.

I'm glad they waited until 9-0 to put him out there

At this point just let him max out. Would be great to have some confidence if he's needed for a fourth game in a regional.
