Yeah, we would have been screwed this year, but if you go to 10 teams with 4 playing into 2 spots in the first round, you can have a SECT where at most you play 4 games. We're playing our 6th game today and Vandy is playing their 5th game. Sure, we get 4 days off, but if we have to travel, it's going to feel more like 3.<div>

Stratton and Graveman (hopefully he's healthy) will be plenty rested for the first 2 games of the regional, as will Even Mitchell. All the alarmists need to settle down. This new format is actually easier on a pitching staff than the old one was because it spreads the same number of games over 1 more day.
that week keep winning and hopefully stay hot rather than more rest. 4 days isn't the longest rest but is enough to be good to go. If we win the SECT, the swagger of this team will continue to grow.
