Florida State Seminoles vs Alabama Crimson Tide: Noles Win 11-1

The Seminoles took less than an hour to finish off the Alabama Crimson Tide today defeating them 11-1.  Alabama looked very flat and the Noles came out swinging ending up with a season high 19 hits.  Florida State has moved on to the Super Regionals where they will host the winner of tonight's matchup between Texas A&M and Arizona.

The Florida State Seminoles won on Saturday night against Alabama surviving Sean Gilmartin’s worst start of the season.  The All-American lefty clearly did not have his best stuff and was reportedly battling some type of illness but he did manage to go seven innings for the Noles.  The offense battled the Tide through the first five innings but opened things up with a 4 run sixth thanks to a 2 run single by James Ramsey who went 4 for 5 on the night. 

They will face the Alabama Crimson Tide for the second time in two days as they came out swinging against Central Florida earlier today. The Tide chased the Knights’ starting pitcher before he even recorded an out and had another big inning later in the game winning 12-5.  They will now have to defeat the Noles twice in a row if they are to advance.

Inside we will preview today's matchups.

PITCHING:

Alabama has used all their normal weekend starters and will have to turn to reliever Adam Windsor.  The sophomore lefty has only 3 starts on the season, none in conference play and is expected to be on a very tight leash.  Alabama should have only 7 pitchers available tonight and those 7 have only accounted for 25% of Alabama’s innings pitched in conference play.

The Seminoles turn to Mike McGee tonight who is coming off a start where he pitched 5+ scoreless innings, however he was not sharp walking 5 batters. The Noles again turned to their two most valuable relievers last night as Brian Busch and Daniel Bennett pitched an inning a piece, the availability of Busch might be an issue.

OFFENSE:

The Crimson Tide offense has 41 hits through the first 3 games in regional play and could take advantage of poor pitching.  The one through six hitters for Alabama have gone 34-78 (.436) in the first 3 games  and are led by leadoff hitter. 

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

 

The top of the lineup is carrying the Noles to as Devon Travis, Rafy Lopez and James Ramsey went 9-14 yesterday.  The Seminoles should see a lot of inexperienced pitchers today and should be able to outslug Alabama en route to another Super Regional appearance.

BROADCAST INFORMATION:

 

Other than the extreme heat the weather shouldn’t play a factor in tonight’s game.  The game will be broadcast on Fox Sports Florida at 6PM and online at the NCAA website.  See everyone back at game time for a live thread.

Go Noles!

Will Seminoles.com be showing the game for those of us without the Sunshine Network? And should we expect 1 inning a piece, 2 max from Bama pitchers today? What are the chances that keeps FSU off balance at the plate seeing so many different deliveries?

No online broadcasts

They have to be somewhat conservative with their pen being that if they win someone has to pitch tomorrow too.

Miami is currently getting KILLED by da gatas...

11 to nuthin, bottom 3rd. 8 run inning here. Is there no mercy rule???

Not so sure I’m happy about that outcome, but I do giggle a bit when Miami struggles. Just wish it wasn’t benefiting da gata. Is the UF game on tv?

I'd rather have had Miami beat UF and prevent them from potentially winning their first national title.

And then rooting against Miami in the Supers. If either team were to go on and win it all this year, Miami winning another title isn’t nearly as bad as Florida winning that first while we’re still at 0 with a much, much better baseball history than them.

Yeah I know....could very well be an error of recency...

But I continue to believe we make many more base running mistakes than we should. Before this year, I couldn’t recall ever seeing a runner picked off 2nd by the catcher after a pitch and we’ve been caught like that twice this season just that I’ve seen.

They piss me off because they’re not a result of lack of talent…they’re the result of a lack of focus/thinking.

During the 5th inning, the fans will sing the Canadian national anthem, “Oh Canada.” This tradition is claimed to have started in the 80s, when FSU was playing the Canadian National Team. During the 5th inning, the Canadian fans began singing the anthem to gloat their lead. Florida State came back to win the game, and the fans have decided the anthem was responsible for their good fortune.

The only lightning data network that says it can is the Weatherbug network.

That’s actually what the NCAA uses and sends to all of the host teams for the regionals. I’ve only ever used NLDN or USPLN (what WeatherTap uses).

funny that the NCAA buys this fancy weather program for baseball tournament

but doesn’t let basketball teams use whistle-recognition technology for March Madness, devices which every major program already has installed in their arenas and turned on for regular season games. A policy which might have cost our women’s team the loss against Georgia this year.

They cannot retake the field until there has been :30 w/o a lightning strike within 6 miles.

Add on another :15 for warmups

And this thunderstorm will just have to rain itself out.

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but....

Whats the early scouting report on the aggies? Pretty balanced team from what I remember just from brief box score scanning—pretty good rotation and scores runs at a decent clip….

Our OPS is only 17 points higher than theirs.

Although that’s counting OOC games.

Texas A&M is 75 points lower. Both teams have much better 1 and 2 starters than we do, even with Stilson’s absence. A&M’s pitching looks to be much deeper, though. Just a quick glance.

Not trying to get ahead of myself

BUT, assuming FSU is able to hang onto the 8-1 lead against BAMA, we’ll be advancing to Super Regionals next weekend. It’s a best of 3 series that’ll either take place Friday thru Sunday or Saturday thru Monday. I was wondering if anyone knows when the exact days and times are released for super regionals? I’m assuming either late tonight or sometime tomorrow.

Like the PBP guy on the field saying no score for either side in the sixth whereas in reality Alabama led off the 6th with a solo shot before the rain-delay.

is Lopez just not fast enough or was it really well played by Bama? or was it just a risky play to begin with?
