re: Super Regionals Thread: UNC advances - Brackets are set!

What do these clown teams do during the regular season? I have seen a few teams on these Supers totally panic in a Game 3. It makes me wonder if their conference even plays 3 game series or not. USC has confidence on their Sunday starter. They have developed a game plan throughout the year. These other teams are playing these games different than any other they have all year.

Sorry guys, I went to go ask him all of those questions when we were walking out of class but I blanked and the only question I could think of was "Who is your favorite actress?" He responded with Emma Watson. He must post here

That wasn't Beckham. That was HCB.

Well scratch my above post, USC is in panic mode also. Pitching change with one out and one runner in the third as well.

finished with the NC State scouting report.... :pagingDolla:
NC State Wolfpack
CWS History - 2nd appearance (1st since 1968), all-time record: 2-2, best finish: 3rd in 1968
Record: 49-14
ACC: 19-10, 4th
Non-Conf: 23-3
Home: 20-8
Road: 15-5
Neutral: 4-1
Overview:
When sitting in front of the tv on selection Sunday, everyone in the country expected NC State to be called as the #8 National Seed. Instead, the Oregon Ducks got that call, and the winners of the Raleigh Regional would have to travel nearly 3000 miles across country to the Eugene Super Regional. As luck would have it for the Wolfpack, The Rice Owls defeated Oregon in one of the tournament's biggest upsets thus far, giving NC State the opportunity to host the Super Regional in their own park. The Pack went on to beat Rice over the weekend twice by one run, including a Super Regional record 17 innings in game 2.
Key wins include: Florida Atlantic, Coastal Carolina, Campbell, 3-0 vs Georgia Tech, 1-1 vs UNC, and 2-2 vs Clemson
(LSU numbers in parentheses)
RPI: 6 (3)
vs Top 25: 12-9 (7-4)
vs Top 50: 22-10 (32-8)
vs Top 100: 30-13 (38-9)
Avg runs scored/game: 6.2 (6.6)
Avg runs allowed/game: 3.8 (2.9)
Road to Omaha:
Raliegh Regional - W vs Binghamton, W vs William & Mary, W vs William & Mary
Raleigh Super Regional - swept Rice (4-3, 5-4)
Common Opponents:
Maryland: 2-1 (LSU: 3-0)
Starting Pitching:
Team ERA: 3.09 (2.41)
Two words: Carlos Rodon. The 2013 NCAA strikeout king has fanned 170 hitters in 118.1 innings walking just 42 batters. Rodon has a 9-2 record with a 3.19 ERA in 17 starts holding opponents to a .201 batting average. As for the rest of the rotation... it's anybody's guess. Head Coach Elliot Avent has been rotating starters all season long trying to find that dependable 2nd and 3rd guy. The 3 guys up for the job are Logan Jernigan, Brad Stone, and Ethan Ogburn. Jernigan appears to have the upper hand on the job, so LSU fans might expect to see him should the teams meet in the 2nd round. Ogburn, who has struggled in the second half of the season, came in relief against Rice in game 2 of the Raliegh Super Regional and threw 5 shutout innings earning the victory and sending the Wolfpack to Omaha.
Sunday's Expected Pitching Matchup:
So. RHP Carlos Rodon (9-2, 3.19 ERA, 118.1 IP, 85 H, 42 BB, 170 K, .201 OBA)
UNC/SC starter TBA
Other Starters:
So. RHP Logan Jernigan (1-0, 1.19 ERA, 30.1 IP, 20 H, 25 BB, 27 K, .187 OBA)
Sr. RHP Ethan Ogburn (5-3, 2.70 ERA, 60 IP, 46 H, 14 BB, 38 K, .211 OBA)
Fr. LHP Brad Stone (3-2, 5.28 ERA, 58.0 IP, 54 H, 22 BB, 59 K, .242 OBA)
Relief Pitching:
NC State has a VERY deep and reliable bullpen. Over 60% of the Wolfpack victories have come from relivers. The key shut down man is 6th year senior Grant Sasser, who has a team leading 8 saves and 32 appearances. Sasser has thrown 41 innings allowing only 28 hits for a 1.10 earned run average. Other reliable arms out of the pen include Andrew Woeck (26 app, 3.09 era, 46.2 ip, 38 h, 16 er), Josh Easley (24 app, 1.44 era, 43.2 ip, 36 h, 7 er), and Ryan Wilkins (23 app, 4.02 era, 47.0 ip, 40 h, 21 er). Lights out Senior relief pitcher Chris Overman has accumulated a ridiculous 0.34 era and .103 opponent batting average in 26.1 innings over 20 appearances.
Offense: (LSU numbers in parentheses)
Team BA: .279 (.308)
Team OBP: .363 (.391)
Team SLG: .387 (.436)
NC State's offense is built around leadoff speedster Trea Turner. The 6'1 sophomore right hander was a consensus Freshman All-American a year ago and has been even better in 2013 despite being plagued by an ankle injury back in March. Turner has stolen 84 bases over his two seasons with the Wolfpack. The Wolfpack shortstop leads the team with a .378 average, .460 ob%, and a .571 slg%. Trea has knocked 7 out the park, plus leads the team in runs (65), triples (4), TB (124), walks (35), and stolen bases (27). In short, Trea Turner is a more dynamic version Oklahoma's Matt Oberste, who Tiger fans learned about last week.
Without Turner, the Wolfpack team batting average falls 10 full points to .269. The next most productive hitter is sophomore right fielder Jake Fincher. Fincher has a solid .327 average on the season and leads the team in hits with 83. The biggest power bat comes from Tarran Sennay (.291BA/8HR/58RBI), while other notable hitters include Brett Austin (.258/2/36), Grant Clyde (.278/4/25), and Bryan Adametz (.298/0/31).
Defense:
NC State field's at a .970 clip. (LSU .980)

You included Campbell as a key win, and they didn't even make the tournament.

A fly ball to the warning track, and two line drives right at infielders.
USC is due for a couple of bloops next inning.
