re: UT vs LSU game 1 Saturday

Paul Skenes didn't pitch in any of those 6 losses.

PS is a great player and most likely #1 pick in the draft. But he is not a robot and can be beat. Also Paul has never been to Omaha and who knows how he will react to the pressure and different setting. UT actually has multiple players still left from its last Omaha team. Maybe experience will help us and little bit of luck.
Paul can be beat:
South Carolina scored 3 in 3 innings off him
UK scored 4 in 6 innings of him in regular season.
Ole Miss scored 3 in 6 innings of him.

Last time Skenes pitched against UT LSU was winning 2-1 when Skenes went out of the game. We had Dollander that game starting. UT tied the game in the top of 8th 2-2, and then UT gives up 3 unweaned runs in the bottom of the 8th that sealed LSU wins. I believe these two teams are closer than you think regardless if you admitted.

UT can not make mistakes like last time if they want to have a chance. In 3 games this year in BR, UT only gave up 8 earned runs in 3 game and that proved to be the difference between the teams. UT had 18 earned runs to LSU 8 earned for entire weekend.

This game can legit go either way. LSU has one of the best offenses in the country while UT has one of the best pitching staffs in the country.

Best of luck you to.
