Survive and advance is the catch phrase of March Madness but Stanford baseball team has made that an early June tradition during the Esquer era! In terms of pitching during the Super Regionals am I the only one who had pleasant flashbacks seeing Mathews come out of the pen? I would not be opposed to Quinn slotting back into last year's role for the Super Regionals. He is such a valuable weapon with unique experience in the role (I certainly do not expect this to happen in reality).
While on the topic, Mathews might be my favorite Stanford pitcher in recent memory. From struggling early in his career to giving up his spot in the rotation to do whatever it took last year to coming back for a senior season, it has been so much fun rooting for him. Seeing the emotion he had coming off the mound in the 8th, after gutting through the most important innings of the season, was special!
