I was really hoping to see the team use the ACC tournament to get warmer,ala Michigan and the Big Ten tournament.
Didn't happen. Rest assured that if they can come out of this regional,they will have a ton of momentum.

May take more than they have to win 3 straight vs Oregon/Michigan. I'll be there today, as yesterday, as the day before.
I hear Guardman, but one day at a time. I will be there too. Gotta beat OR, then we will have some Mojo for a second shot at the Wolverines!
Agree but your last sentence. The players have to get on base.. He can’t do that for them.
Just gotta score runs today, both games, if we can advance past OR. Just out slug these Teams.
We got enough on bases to beat Mich. We just could not get them off base to the Plate.
Problem is they’re going to need multiple arms to really step up with Poland and Schmeltz likely unavailable
So true. We need to put a crooked number up in the early innings so the guys can relax. Maybe moving guys around could spark something?
For example, I could see Usher leading off with a single, steal 2nd base and have the Cards best clutch hitter, Payton driving him in. After two batters, Cards have scored.
Of course that could happen with Knap and Metzinger but they're not as good as the other two. Just my opinion.
However they do it, the Cards have to score often today to have any chance. I don't really see a reason not to change things up.
Wow! 39 baseunners in only 13.2 innings. Cards got to knock him out in the first inning.
I thought the same thing yesterday but it didn’t happen. Hopefully things are different today
Well hell farrrr. Why even put that pitcher out there in the first place? Metzinger striking out to him not good for his confidence.
They just have a really bad bullpen to be throwing guys like that out there. Big 10 isn’t really a hitters conference either. There is no reason for us to not take this regional from these guys
Cards are making good on my prognostications. Michigan getting ready for a two game losing streak!
It certainly looks like the Cards are not tight at the plate but is it due to the bad Michigan pitchers? I'm sure Michigan has some good pitchers for tomorrow but they may have awakened the Cards.
Riley Phillips is smokin'.

Heard Moth say he had some elbow issues. First time I heard that.
Okay I knew we'd be dodging drops and lightning at some point. Hate it for those that wanted to be there but have to work. And for the team.
Soldier on..
Was slotted for 6PM. Then I heard CDM mention 12PM. Then they said we won’t know for sure until other games are completed today 😢🤪. Looks like rain chances really start up about 5PM. They could start around 2PM and probably be safe - more people could probably get there too.
Amazing to see how much CDM was able to learn about college baseball over Saturday night. Some of you need to spend more time listening to Dan explain what is actually going on with his team, as a way to better understand that pitching rotation, batting order and even micromanaging as to what each hitter does on each at-bat, is not what distinguishes the difference between winning and losing. Players either execute or not, and the Head Coach cannot be responsible for scoring 3 runs one day, and 20 runs the next day against the same opponent. How could anyone predict Poland’s near perfect 2 and 2/3rd innings, only to give up a single on the potential 3rd out to a kid hitting .189? Then giving up 2 consecutive HRs? Coaching had absolutely nothing to do with that.
No question about the much improved hitting we witnessed yesterday, particularly against Michigan. While we can all appreciate the offensive success at the plate, it would be a horrible oversight to miss just how bad the Michigan pitching was. The Wolverine rotation spend virtually all day behind our hitters. The 3 walks in the first inning was a pretty good indication of just how easy it is to score runs when the opposing pitcher is struggling to find the strike zone.
I can imagine tomorrow the Michigan pitchers are going to be instructed to focus on throwing strikes.

I will say he took the opportunity to manufacture runs. When Cam came up that time after hitting a HR it was a perfect time to bunt. I told my friend that is what should happen but still…. And, he bunted and executed the play perfectly.
