Florida State Seminoles vs Texas A&M Aggies: Game 3 Preview and Live Thread-7PM

Email
PrintThe Florida State Seminoles took care of business last night in a 23-9 rout of Texas A&M. The Noles had 7 starters with a hit, 16 in all and 8 extra base hits including a season high 4 homeruns. Florida State had multi-run innings in all but 3 and scored in 7 of 9. They took advantage of Aggie pitcher's inability to throw strikes as they walked 12 times and were hit by a pitch 4 times, all in all it was a fun game to watch from an offensive prospective. Once again the pitching was painful to watch, Mike McGee was given an 8 run lead and promptly squandered it throwing 2+ innings where only 23 of his 50 pitches thrown were for strikes. Scott Sitz came in and while he looked good at times he struggled with his command and allowed 10 of the 22 batters he faced to reach base. Mack Waugh was the most impressive last night and with a commanding lead he did what you need to do, throw strikes, pitch to contact and let your defense make plays.
The Aggies refused to throw their best pitchers last night in preparation for tonight's game and luckily enough for the Noles they were able to save their best relievers as well. Inside we will preview the game and look at the pitching probables.
PITCHING PROBABLES:
Florida State - RHP, Hunter Scantling vs. Texas A&M - RHP, Michael Wacha
Hunter Scantling has been an effective pitcher off and on throughout the year. As the level of completion is better is when he tends to struggle and tonight he will be tested yet again.
Those are not exactly the numbers you would like to see from your starter when you have a trip to Omaha on the line. While Scantling has been able to minimize his walks recently it has caused the amount of hits he has allowed to increase including 6 homeruns in his last 3 appearances.
The obvious advantage with regards to starting pitching lies with Texas A&M. He has been phenomenal all year and has pitched comparable to Saturday starter Ross Stripling who shut down the Noles.
Unfortunately for the Noles Wacha has been really really good as of late, allowing only 1 run in his last 21 innings pitched. Florida State has a much better offense that any of the 3 teams he has faced recently and have hit pitchers similar to him in the past.
BULLPEN ARMS:
Brian Busch and Daniel Bennett are well rested as they have not thrown all series. Despite struggling in a starting role Busch has been solid as a reliever, in 20 appearances he has thrown 39+ innings with a WHIP of 1.13 and a K:BB ratio of 2.46. Daniel Bennett has be strong all year and really dominant as of late. In his last 3 appearances he has gone 3.2 innings striking out 7 of the 12 batters he has faced and only allowing 2 hits while walking none.
A big reason the game got out of hand last night was that Nick Fleece and Kyle Martin didn't pitch. Both pitchers have been solid all year and can pitch more than one inning if needed. Martin, a submariner, really struggled against Arizona in the regionals but outside of that both relievers have the ability to maintain late leads in the game.
Monday, June 13, 7PM
Radio - Seminoles All-Access
TV - ESPN
Web Stream - ESPN3
Live Stats - GameTracker
The Aggies have the pitching advantage for tonight's game but as we know the Seminoles are capable of scoring runs on even the best pitching. If they can get to Wacha early and Scantling can pitch a quality 4 innings the Noles should like their chances of winning this game. See everyone back here at 7PM for a live game thread.
Go Noles!

If I were the skipper
they’d be wearing the same dirty, stank-ass uniforms (socks and jocks, included) as yesterday. Probably a good thing I’m not in charge.

They are wearing the gold unis tonight
Prolly cleaned though. The last 2 times we have won a home Super, gold unis in the 3rd base dugout, same thing tonight. Also, the first time in 10+ years, we have worn the same unis two nights in a row
I love superstition.
If you believe wearing those unis helps…..it does.

7PM start is very fortunate for us
If you’ve ever considered coming out for a game, tonight is the night. As RaysnNoles and others have observed, it may be awhile before we see this program playing for a CWS berth again, so let’s make this one count.
The NCAA’s quirky rules have denied us the last at bat, but we can still show everyone what the Howser home field advantage is all about.

Good for Scantling
After watchin him pitch in the ACC tourney, the guy looks like avg. BP still velocity. You guys think this will play in our favor since TAMU is a “walk happy team” and since Santling is good for throwing strikes?
Scantling has cut down his walk lately the problem is that his stuff is very average...
So the strikes he throws get hit and hit hard

if he can keep the slider down, he can do well
problem is, he leaves them up after a while and thats when the trouble starts. he has done it before (UF), but he needs to do it again here. i think this is our best combination (Scantling/Busch/Bennett) that amounts to the closest thing to a quality start that we have behind Gilly.

how so?
if Scantling can only give you 4, you dont think Busch can give you 2-3 and Bennett the last 2 (with a possible setup between Busch and Bennett)? those are my expectations. do you think Scantling wont get that far or Busch cant go that long?

Scantling making it through 4. I can’t blame him, but we gotta hope for something.

thats fair
i think he should get into the 5th and get chased. my best expectation is a full 5 and into the 6th. worst case would be going in the late 3rd/early 4th once he gets into the 2nd time in the rotation – he gets a few lucky groundballs but his luck runs out. i assume you are expecting the latter.

I hate that home field is defined by a coin toss for the 3rd game....
To me, since we are hosting, I think the Noles should get the home option for game 3. How long has it been a coin toss?
The one silver lining is that we do get a chance in Top 1 to get ahead of them and get them in “here we go again” mode.
If memory serves, the times we’ve had to play through the losers bracket or come from behind in Supers, we’ve done it by jumping on teams early.
The bad part is Wacha isn’t the kind of guy you can really count on hitting from the start.
I think scoring on him early is huge
We dont want to let this guy get into a rhythm, we need to jump on him early and shake him up alittle bit. I know thats easier said than done but I think that will be a huge factor to whether we win this game or not.

wont his arm be weak at this point?
this will be 200 pitches in 9 days coming in, so i dont know how many pitches he can really throw with good velocity or control. isnt it possible his arm will be so tired he doesnt last more than 60-70 pitches, assuming he is doing well from the start? that would be the best case scenario, and the worst would be him not being able to hit the strike zone early or throwing frisbees because his arm cant get the rotation.

Wow great piece of info here
I hadn’t contemplated how much he has thrown the last week or so. 60-70 pitches against FSU is only about 4 innings, but that still leaves 2 good relievers that can come in. If we can hit one of them chances are the other won’t be able to go the rest of the way alone.

exactly
thats my hope, anyway. of course, it could be that he does just fine and we have to grind out a win and hope for some pitching luck. but if he really doesnt last as long as he normally would, it could play to our advantage (by chasing him early and stretching their relievers longer than usual).

Comparison
Anything available in the stats for us to make me feel better about our chances tonight against Wacha when we failed to produce runs on Stripling? Stripling was a lefty and we don’t hit lefties well, but Wacha is a righty and we still score consistently on good righthanders???
Stripling was a righty
Similar numbers but from the scouting reports I’ve seen Stripling has better stuff and Wacha seems to be more hittable.

if Stripling was available, we likely dont get past game 2, so its irrelevant which would be better in game 3.

I just like the way we match up in this series, and wasn’t really freaking out after game one (though I was dissappointed). Getting to A&M’s starter early is critical and no free passes by our staff……and I like our chances in a close one.

Wow, ump decided this game before it began
Not that I thought FSU would win but he certainly isn’t helping.
I’ve never seen a batter in that position not get that call.
Bull
We have one solid starter, thats it. Cant blame an ump for our deficiencies.
Speed is a great asset; but it's greater when it's combined with quickness - and there's a big difference.
- Ty Cobb
No, I'm blaming losing this series
Just noting that the ump is tight and that helps TAMU more than it does us because of our “pitching coach”
lol
Speed is a great asset; but it's greater when it's combined with quickness - and there's a big difference.

We have problems with pitching, it is what it is and it may not change till S leaves.
Speed is a great asset; but it's greater when it's combined with quickness - and there's a big difference.

So is it possible
any changes happen as a result of the horrible pitching during this series?
Don't count on it
We’ve been in this position before and nothing happened then. I think we need to get rid of Martin to get rid of Shouppe, unfortunately.
Its almost comical
how similar this is to the Bowden/jeff situation.
Yep
Even though people say it’s not similar it really is. Although I’ll give Martin credit in that he does much more for this team than Bobby did for the football program at that time.
Because he hasn't won any national championships
to become complacent
Also because he isn't 80, and doesn't have a dozen man coaching/ training staff.

pretty close to 80
and 99% of college baseball coaches would trade their careers for his. But yes, baseball is a much smaller sport and the head coach has a lot more in both day to day and short/long term planning to deal with than perhaps a football HC could pass on to his assistants.
He's 67.

he doesn't look out of shape standing still
but it’s not like he’s a spring chicken. A lot of his slow gate is just his personality, but he doesn’t have the energy of Rick Trickett (63).
His slow gait is often to give his pitchers more time to warm up, too.
He’s not young by any means, but he’s also not nearly as old as Bobby.

I guess im looking at
the overall picture and not the finer details. You have a coach who has had lots of success and even had the field named after him(I cant believe they did this twice). Instead of hiring qualified coaches he hired a family friend who should clearly not be coaching at this level. And now because of the head coaches past success and the universities inability to recognize athletic dysfunction it will take multiple disastrous seasons for change to occur. Id say we’re at the point we were at in 2004 with the football team. We are still having some success but If you look close enough you can see there is a problem and the team will probably suffer over the next few years. Hopefully the athletic department has learned from the football situation and will avert repeating history.
They did it 3 times within one or two academic years.

You'd think but history hasn't shown that
I think the fact that FSU is constantly ranked high, has nice facilities and good fan support (which feeds on itself) creates an experience that people keep coming back for.
Until the last handful of years our pitching wasn't worse than league average, either.
Takes time and embarrassing losses to force change in programs that are so entrenched with coaches like in football and baseball.

Realistically how many could he have given up before getting an out.

well he only had 1 before he got pulled (though Busch didn't help get any out)
If he threw a couple strikes he might have eventually gotten a groundball out or flyball.

DK what happened in the UVA Game?!?!?!
Formerly known as Randall W. Spetman.
Don't underestimate the value of a correctly positioned 'n.'
Insanity. Irvine brings their friday night ace in to pitch 2 outs in the 8th and he induces a double play. They take the lead in the top of the 9th against UVA’s closer who at this point stands to have blown two consecutive games to end the season. Two quick outs in the bottom of the 9th bring up the 7, 8, and 9 hitters. Two singles back up the middle and a four pitch walk later, Chris Taylor knocks a 1-1 single up the middle to drive in the tying and winning runs.

I was just looking for a final score really
But glad to see they won. Pretty sure I’ve got them as the last team standing.

Pathetic display by TAMU there.
Wow, just tuned into the game
pretty much sucks. Time to start drinking.

For his excessive poise-ness and other issues
I gotta say in public that Mike Martin is all class. He was all smiles in the TV interview just now and made comments like “it’s just baseball” and “if I hit a guy intentionally while down 8-1 with 2 runners on… well somebody needs to teach me baseball”

did I say 5th? I meant 4th
Nothing doing for the Noles in the 5th.
Bennett walks leadoff man in 5th
Two groundball outs move the runner to 3rd. Another walk puts runners on corners, 2 out. Nobody on our staff not named Gilmartin has consistent control.
well that's a fail
Runner on 1st started stealing on first pitch, Bennett had the 1st to 3rd pickoff move called. Runner was clearly gonna be out… except Bennett threw the ball over Boyd’s head, like he wasn’t expecting to have to release it. Runner scores, strikeout ends the inning. 9-1.
Easterling walks
Travis grounball out moves him over, then Lopez doubles off the wall for the RBI. McGee k’s. Ramsey flies out to the infield; he’s only gonna get probably one more AB to try to extend his NCAA leading on base streak before going pro (assuming we don’t rally). Wacha is at 101 pitches, assume he’s done but TAMU still has two good relievers and we have….
9-2 bottom 6

stepped out for a second
somehow a run scored and bases got loaded. batter hit dinky grounder down first base line, Bennett and Boyd both converge but Travis didn’t cover 1st so everybody’s safe. Currently 11-2, top 7. Bennett is already about 30 pitches over his season high.
No idea why Wacha is still on the mound.
118 pitches, unbelievable.
and he promptly walks 2 and gets taken out
That right there is how you ruin a pitcher for life.
All we need is a few 3 run homers.....where'd everybody go?

He had to start a game wearing a huge leg brace against Miami in the finals and they bunted all over him.
