We didn't exactly use much of the bullpen.
That game Eisler came in was because we already had a big lead. I doubt that is the game plan in a close/contested game.
Besides the weather, this regional's outcome was about as good as it gets. Starting pitching went deep, offense had some fire in it, Watson got a home run and we don't have to deal with Arkansas and their fans.
Starters were amazing, even Brian settled in after a little rough first two innings - that was what won this regional
Feldman looked good after his normal 2 high fastball start both nights and we never really had to see if our BP is ready or not because of the starters
The rest looked the same really
Wymer was encouraging but he had the luxury of no pressure and just throwing hard and over the plate to challenge the batters to make contact - maybe he need that approach all the time but during the season he was trying to hit the edges and struggled at times with it
Offensively we looked basically like we always do until we got to a depleted pitching staff - if you want to read some great awakening in our bats from a win where we had 13 runs on 7 hits at one point and more walks that hits for most of the game - feel free and I hope you are right.
But both games yesterday showed why you want to avoid the losers bracket - DBU dominated UVA because they had no pitching and then we returned the favor to DBU
MSU looks a lot like us - so it will be a challenge. They have good starters, a true ace (something we didn't face in regionals) and they are super patient at the plate - plus on paper they hit better than we do.
So we are gonna need all the good to keep flowing this weekend.
