Can we make the Supers ?

Coulwoodwarlord · 05-26-2014, 08:46 PM

Without Max ?

Holbrook has in as much said we can't win the NC without being healthy. My question is, can we get out of the regionals resting Max as much as possible. (Every other day), or not playing at all, just taking BP ?
I have no idea when Bright will become a factor, but we know if Max's back feels good on any given night, he can change a game. Bright was a hitting machine till he went down, but how fast he can get back up to speed is anyone's guess.

Can we hold Max for the Supers ?

And I know Chad said he took BP today and looked like a Big Leaguer, and plans to play him.

Yes we can make it without, do we hold him out, thats chads call, but no not if he is healthy

rosstheboss · 05-26-2014, 10:16 PM

Yes but I don't think we can make it to Omaha without him

Latt7more · 05-26-2014, 10:20 PM

We aren't going to lose at home. Don't forget that.

I feel this way as well. If Virginia holds , we will need him.

WIN ANYWAY

Max will DH as long as his back allows. Doubt you will see him in the field.

I believe our team has enough grit and determination to win a regional at home.....
but using last years example in Chapel Hill..... life is tough on the road!

Coulwoodwarlord · 05-26-2014, 10:59 PM

We don't talk enough about missing Elliot either. He's gone for this year, but if Bright shows up and shows out, it'll be interesting.

SterlingBrooks · 05-26-2014, 11:09 PM

No one can beat Maryland, they are just too strong. The title is theirs for the taking

garnet_black215 · 05-26-2014, 11:29 PM

Yes. Win the Supers without him? That's a different story.

depends on who we play

For once South Carolina wasnt shafted by the NCAA, its baseball, and anything is possible, but we've def. been dealt worse hands before. Now Virginia got a TERRIBLE draw.

One player doesn't make or break a team. I don't care who it is. If we play UVA in the supers and lose, it won't be because Schrock wasn't in the lineup. That's just a sorry sorry excuse and it sounds like Tater talk.

True. But Max does add some fire power to the lineup, and his clutchness cant be denied.

Wrong. Think the Bulls would've won without Jordan? Or the Red Sox without Ortiz? Or the Pats without Brady? Sometimes the slim line between a good team and a great team is ONE player. Don't be so naive. We need all the players we have to be healthy to make a stretch run. We are not as good without our best guys in the lineup.

We made it to Omaha without JB Jr a few years ago.

Chad Holbrook said in his press conference yesterday that Max and Connor are back this weekend.

Yep, having both back healthy would be huge. We're a different team with them in the lineup.
