What pitching lineup should be

Game 1- Titsworth

Game 2- Knaak

Game 3- Bell

Gotta feel pretty good about the bullpen if we’ve got Garris and Darden back. McGovern and Mahlstedt I feel like those 4 guys will be the go to out of the pen. Because we hope not to go deeper then that.

Agree! Would think Wva and K start their aces in game one.

I agree. But if you really feel like gambling, start Bell on Friday. AK would start Saturday and leave Titsworth for a clinching game.

I would think Bell could get the job done in game 1 unless upstate has a real ace. Sometimes those smaller schools still have 1 guy that can wreck even the best of teams.

upstate has a VERY potent offense and they are clicking on all cylinders right now

Their guy is Amp Phillips. He is a transfer from Spartanburg Methodist. Big South newcomer of the year. He started against us in the midweek game and pitched two good innings. The plan was to throw him only 2 unless he got into trouble.

We will need innings from more than those 4: Allen, Bailey and Dvorsky.

Talked to a friend/player last night up in air between #### and knaak. Staff has been back and forth.

It really is a tough decision and you don't want to be in a hole after game 1

I think you have to play the matchup that USCU is probably the best hitting team (statistically speaking) in the region (albeit, their competition collectively isn't the same level as the other 3 teams so it might be a red herring). This would lead me to believe AK gets the start because you don't want to spend many bullpen arms in game 1 if another starter gets chased early on. I think there's a sizable gap between AK and Titsworth/Bell/Darden/Bailey. Starting 1-0 with minimal bullpen use is critical and AK gives you the best shot to achieve that.

I can also see the the other side of the coin because if someone else gets you through game 1, Knaak should be better than whomever WVU/KU starts in the 1-0 game but you gamble not sending your ace out for game 1 and run the risk of spending arms early on.

From a hitting perspective, Clemson isn't built for these track meet/comeback games like last year's team was. If USCU is dialed in and hitting like they have been, they can jump out to a lead and it'll be a tough mountain to climb. In that case, you would also assume Clemson will be into their bullpen at the point. Clemson cannot afford to go down early and have to chase the game from behind. If Knaak keeps USCU at bay and Clemson can get some runs, they should be able to see out the game from there.

In EB, I trust! Go Tigers!
