Probably LSU. Anything less than a CWS final appearance is disappointing with the expectations preseason and most of the regular season. They’ve shifted since our pitching staff saw injuries but I’m looking at whole picture

Definitely would be disappointing to miss out on the CWS playing a team we already beat 2/3 at home and play again at home best 2/3 to get to the CWS. No other way around it. Said before the tournament the regional could be trickier than the supers for LSU in the sense if we lost a game in the regional we would have to play at least 4 games potentially 5 which would expose our lack of depth at pitcher very quickly vs. supers it's best 2/3 so you know you dont go deeper than a 3rd game for the weekend. Not only that, but we just got a team in the supers we've happened to already beat 2/3 so it will be up to them to mix things up and try something different this time around to get 2 wins instead of 1 or none. They basically threw away game 1 against Skenes last time throwing a reliever who had barely pitched in his first start. Let's see if they take a different approach this time.

They did grab the win in game 2 but it was due to a defensive meltdown where 3 errors led to 6 unearned runs that game and LSU lost 13-10.
