Bats are cold.

I think their pitcher was the reason our bats were cold.

I know....those guys were only three pitches from kicking our butts in two games and going to Omaha.

I like LSU's chances tomorrow, Omaha on the line, in The Box...But, man, the hitting needs to step up. Hopefully Eades will be on it.

well, we've held them to 15 scoreless innings over the past two days, and Gausman got kinda screwed the 2 innings they scored on him because he isn't good with a wet ball

their two starters have been unstoppable:

McNitt
7 inn, held us to 3 of 23 (.130), 1 run (0.77 ERA)

Johnson
9 inn, held us to 3 of 27 (.111), 1 run (1.00 ERA)

but we destroyed the Stony Brook bull pen (3 guys, and their highest-drafted pitcher pitched 3 of the innings).
4 and 1/3 inn, we went 6 of 18 (.300) against them, 4 runs (gave them a whooping 8.31 ERA)

Nola went 6 inn, gave up 9 of 27 (.300), 2 runs (3.00 ERA)

our bull pen (Cotton 3 innings, everybody else 1) went 6 inn, holding them to 5 of 20 (.250), 2 runs (3.00 ERA)

Gausman went 8 innings, and limited them to 6 of 26 (.231), 3 runs (3.38 ERA)

except Cotton, our bull pen is all fully rested. Eades was an All-Star in the elite Cape Cod league with these Stony Brooks guys so I hope be reminds them of that on the mound tomorrow

2 of our best 4 hitters have been no shows (Nola and Ross, and they were both sensational in the Regional at the plate). Both our senior starters who started in our 2009 National Championship Series have been no shows: Nola, Hanover)

our individual hitting in the Super:
Katz 2 for 8 (.250), 2 RBI, 1 run, 1 home run
Jones 3 for 9 (.333), 1 RBI, 2 run, 1 home run
Raph 1 for 9 (.111), 1 RBI, 1 run
Moore 2 for 6 (.333), 1 RBI, 2 run, 1 home run
Snikeris 2 for 9 (.222)
Dozar 1 for 2 (.500)
Edward 1 for 4 (.250)
Nola 0 for 7 (.000)
Hanover 0 for 7 (.000)
Ross 0 for 6 (.000)
Fields 0 for 1

NCAAT so far:
Pac 12 is 18-4 (lost to LSU twice, Florida State, Kent State)...Oregon State is eliminated

SEC is 23-10 (lost to NC State twice, TCU twice, Kent State twice, Samford twice, Stony Brook, Baylor)... Kentucky, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, and Mississippi State are eliminated

ACC is 15-12 (lost to Florida three times, South Carolina twice, Vanderbilt, Stony Brook, Appy State, Oklahoma, St John's twice, Missouri St)... Miami, Virginia, North Carolina, Clemson, Georgia Tech are eliminated

Big 12 is 11-7 (lost to South Carolina, Ole.Miss, Arizona, Appy State, TCU, Louisville, Oral Roberts)...Texas A&M and Missouri are eliminated

the following six teams are still undefeated: Florida, South Carolina, UCLA, Arizona, Florida State, Kent State

if lsu can beat south carolina at their house for the sec title! uf in gainseville 2 of 3 then for gods sake they MUST PREVAIL TODAY!!!!!!!!!THIS TEAM HAS GOT TO BE IN OMAHA!!! GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!

And their pitching has held us to 15.

As Red said I hope there's a hell of a drop off to their third starter and I hope our bats wake up.

More importantly, we better hope the weather clears and we get the game in today.
