re: Regionals: Ole Miss & Vanderbilt Advance to the Supers! (Unsticky Admins)

thanks

I figure we are going to beat the shite out if UVA. Like, 2-1 or 1-0.

I'd imagine they'll save their left handed ace for us and we will roll out Oliver. Killian is going game 1 against Liberty. Killian has been giving us complete games or at least long inning outings. That's going to be a key in game 1.

Solid work as always Cayce

Awesome job

Ole Miss was chosen as a regional host for the sixth time in the program’s history, but for the first time since 2009. All six have come under head coach Mike Bianco’s stewardship. The Rebs drew a tough regional with high-RPI types such as Georgia Tech and Washington, but this team stands out for the physicality and depth of its lineup, which ranks 14th nationally in batting. Ole Miss is also an extremely balanced team, with three proven weekend starters, good defense, and athleticism in the outfield. Ole Miss took first place in the SEC West thanks to a veteran-laden lineup led by multi-talented junior CF Auston Bousfield (.349/.397/.490, 5 HR, 16 SB) seniors Will Allen (.352/.388/.530, 7 HR) and Austin Anderson (.329/.417./.468). Bianco has not revealed his rotation, but righthanders Chris Ellis and Sam Smith plus lefty Christian Trent gives him three steady options. A scout who saw the 6-foot-5, 205-pound Ellis earlier this season said he was impressed with Ellis’ ability to command his fastball, which he said ranged from 88-92, sitting mostly at 90-91. Ellis also has a good weapon against righties in his power curveball. Trent, who missed the SEC tournament with stiffness but should be fine for this week, will be 88-92 with an 80 mph slider and excellent change, and works both sides of the plate. Righthander Aaron Greenwood (2-1, 1.96) is the moment-of-truth man in the bullpen, an experienced veteran with good downward angle on his 88-90 fastball and an effective big-breaking low-80s slider. Junior righty Josh Laxer (1.47, 5 SV) has the filthiest stuff on the staff, with a 93-95 fastball and a sharp 81-83 slider.

It's a fricking fantastic post

The roster linked by Mississippi State is for San Diego State. Not trying to be a dick at all, just letting you know.

Thanks again for posting

No. 1 LSU (44-14, 17-11 in SEC) Roster | Statistics
27th appearance (three straight), automatic, second place in SEC West regular season and SEC tournament champion
Top 200 Prospects: RHP Aaron Nola (10)

Louisiana State closed the season on a tear, beginning with May 13’s 27-0 win against Northwestern State, when the Tigers threw a combined no-hitter. In their final eight games, the Tigers have outscored their opponents 87-9, helping them win the SEC tournament for the second straight year and the fifth time in the last seven years. LSU’s staff is anchored by college baseball’s best pitcher, junior righthander Aaron Nola (10-1, 1.49, 127-26 K-BB in 109 IP), who has pinpoint command of a 91-94 fastball that bumps 96 early in games, a big-breaking slider and a solid changeup. Coming into the season, the major questions facing LSU were who would handle the starting duties behind Nola, and who would anchor the bullpen? Crafty lefthanders Jared Poche’ (9-3, 2.21) and Kyle Bouman (5-2, 2.34) provided answers in the rotation, while hard-throwing Joe Broussard (3-1, 0.89, 8 SV), who works at 93-95 and features a nice 12-to-6 curveball, has replaced Chris Cotton as closer. He has a nice supporting cast, led by LHP Zac Person, freshman righty Parker Bugg and senior righty Kurt McCune. LSU’s lineup really stands out for its athleticism, especially in the outfield, where Andrew Stevenson and Mark Laird are web gems waiting to happen. Newcomers Conner Hale (.314/.341/.443, 4 HR, 27 RBI) and Kade Scivicque (.310/.387/.462, 6 HR, 30 RBI) have joined veterans Tyler Moore (.307/.386/.489, 5 HR, 34 RBI) and Sean McMullen (.286/.390/.503, 6 HR, 34 RBI) to give the Tigers a strong group of run producers around All-American Alex Bregman, who has rebounded from a rough first half to hit .301/.378/.441 with six homers and 44 RBIs. Bregman was hitting lasers at the SEC tournament, and when he’s locked in, LSU is very difficult to beat.

Arkansas opens its regional as a No. 2 seed for the fourth consecutive season, though the Razorbacks did make it all the way to Omaha as a 2-seed in 2012. The lineup still has some key holdovers from that team, highlighted by leading hitter Brian Anderson (.311/.384/.469, 6 HR). Anderson, a superb athlete who’s settled in at second base as a junior, and senior first baseman Eric Fisher (.265/.316/.452, 9 HR) give the Razorbacks most of their offensive punch—they’re the only players on the team with more than three homers. But Arkansas hasn’t gotten this far because of its offense. Even after having to replace last year’s entire weekend rotation, the Hogs are all still about what they can do on the mound, giving hope they can mesh well with pitcher-friendly Davenport Field. Sophomore righty Trey Killian (4-8, 2.18) has been snake bitten by poor run support but has continued to get the most out of his solid stuff on Friday nights. The bigger arm belongs to junior righty Chris Oliver (8-4, 2.45), who’s served as the Sunday starter most of the year, though the Hogs may have to go without regular No. 2 starter Jalen Beeks (5-4, 2.11), who hasn’t pitched since May 3 due to a sore elbow. Arkansas also has its own trio of lights-out bullpen options in righties Jacob Stone and Zach Jackson and lefty Michael Gunn. The Razorbacks won only one road series all season—against SEC cellar-dweller Missouri—and went just 8-10 in true road games, which would appear to put them at odds with Virginia’s home dominance. The good news is the Hogs are coming off their best week away from Baum Stadium all season as they went 3-2 in the SEC tournament, including a pair of wins against SEC West champ Mississippi.
