Our bats have been pretty cold in post season, they need to show some life at the CWS to make a run.

We just need to show some discipline and make Skenes throw strikes. Try to get him to throw that FB over the plate and square it up. Don't try to pull everything. Our lefties have to hit him. Need Ahuna, Burke, and CScott to step up and not make Denton and Dickey have to do all the heavy lifting. And we have Tears and Drieling for PHs. I don't think we're gonna wear him out, cause he threw 120 pitches last time out. We're just gonna have to hit him and knock him out.

I think he was saying leave Ensley in CF (responding to some saying we should play Tears or Dreiling in CF).

It’s not that hard. Tony V likes Ensley in CF, so I like Ensley in CF. And he’s looked good there.

The only move that could possibly make some sense would be Dreiling to LF and Dickey to C — but for that to work, you have to like Dreiling’s bat over Stark’s more than you like Stark’s defense over Dickey’s… obviously Tony doesn’t.

It would be almost criminal to ask Dickey to catch this late in the season with so much on the line. He hasn't caught in a long time.

I hate Arkansas. If you ever had to work in the state, you know that their fans are more delusional than South Carolina fans with the bravado of UK basketball fans. Local media is worse than Pravda and everyone in the local towns think they are winning a natty in every sport. Every year. Arkansas is truly the butt crack of the country.

Yeah, maybe so, but they've got some great crop duster pilots!

It looks like not many people are giving us a chance tonight. I hope we play loose. It would be great to break LSU's heart again just like we did in football last year.

Not to mention the super regional two years ago when we broke their retiring coach's heart and took the lamentations of their women.

ESPN has used K Zone technology for years, as in, since early 2000’s. MLB uses it in regional broadcasts. I would guess it’s the NCAA that won’t agree to it to subject their umps to compare calls. They don’t want controversy.

The CBB announcers always have TrackMan in the booth with them too. They just won’t show it on air so I believe you are correct.

Getting Skenes out by the 5th inning is the key to this game, IMO

That will be very hard to do. The guy is good for 140 pitches!!

I think our best bet is to out pitch them. They are an offensive juggernaut, I'm hoping for something like a 3-2 win which may be hard to accomplish.
Keep it tied at 2-2 until Skenes is finally pulled in 8th and let our very efficient pen hold them for a 9th inning walk off (we are home team aren't we)
