SEC Baseball Tournament Open Thread, Day One

Ole Miss and Georgia tied in the fourth.

An observation: Both of these teams like running, which is fine if you’re good at it. Not necessarily in this case, though there’s been at least one bad call and one questionable call.

Is the proverbial black eye of the UFAA.

On a wild pitch in the bottom of the 5th. A busted squeeze play immediately after ended that threat.

Georgia has runners on first and second with one out — I think.

But georgia has men on the corners with one out

Top 7th

So far, C&F is 0-2 in his predictions. And the game he hopes he was wrong on has yet to begin.

Ole Miss and Florida play an elimination game tomorrow.

The first three games saw the tournament’s sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-seeded teams knocking off the tournament’s first-, second-, and third-seeded teams.

Regardless of the outcome of the nightcap (which pits No. 4 v. No. 5, so even the “upset” would be technical rather than practical), you could see two of the top three seeds eliminated on the second day. A South Carolina win tonight, of course, would guarantee the elimination of half of the top four seeds on Thursday.

I’m just glad to know Georgia will last at least two more games . . . and, while I am not foolish enough to guarantee a Bulldog victory over any even passably good S.E.C. team, I believe the Diamond Dogs match up better with Arkansas than they would have against Florida, so I am cautiously (emphasis on the adverb) optimistic about tomorrow night.
