Jim said late in the game that the Missouri run was an earned run but
that's still damn impressive.

We pitched great and had great D other than the one bad decision by Ammarti. But truth be told, Missouri sucks! They couldn't hit their way out of a WalMart bag. How many hits did they have? And how many of those were of the swinging bunt variety?
Now their starting pitcher and the reliief pitcher were outstanding and they played very solid D. But they can't hit for jack.

I would think Pollo is the only option for starting. We really need to find a way to win tonight's game with just two or three pitchers. Sure would be nice to have a Stratton who could give you 8+. Pollo+Norris+Bradford is about all we have for tonight without pitching someone from last night if memory servers me correctly.
Most of the guys who pitched last night only threw around 30 pitches and would probably be available again for Thursday. Win there and we have a day off. We need to throw everything we have tonight. Win tonight and the host spot is 100% locked up (I think it already is but a win tonight would convince everyone).

I was going to post this as well. I think we only gave up 1 extra base hit as well.
I would think Ross Mitchell, Girardo, Bracewell, Holder, Cox and Fits are all out for today. Leaving Evan Mitchell, John Marc Shelly, CT Bradford, Norris, Pollo(?). I'm assuming Girardo and Mitchell could probably give us an inning if 100% necessary.

Well it was the pitcher's fault earned or unearned. Moving a baserunner from 1st to 3rd with 2 wild pitches was the only reason Mizzou scored all night.
All our pitchers were on hard pitchcounts yesterday. They won't be throwing today regardless IMO...but will possibly be available by Thursday for another 30-40 pitch session...
Going to start Pollo -- probably give him 80-100 pitches -- then use some combination of Evan Mitchell, Bradford, Norris to finish it out on hard 30-40 pitch counts just like all of our guys yesterday...
Then Graveman for 80-100 followed by whoever is left that who hasn't thrown... with the pen available.
We need to win one of the next two so Lindgren can get his scheduled start in as well.

Man!! based on my memory of their recent results the thought of Evan Mitchell or Brandon Woodruff coming into the game during the tournament scares the 17 out of me.
There was a base later in the inning
So the run would've scored from third base anyway even without the error. That makes it an earned run.
