Looking at their pitching stats their ERA (for starters) ranges from 3.90-4.97.
Team OB% is .374
They played better (statistically) away (17-3) than at home (13-12)
Not real worried about this one but don't need to let up at all

They definitely can hit the ball.

More discussion in the season thread.
Not going to be an easy one at all.

I think they started the season slow and picked up crazy momentum

Vegas hates them. Second worst odds to win it all at +5000.

Well that is mainly because they are playing us (the best odds), any team playing us this weekend would have low odds of winning the whole thing.

They only used 5 pitchers in the regional. All 5 guys can go over 100 pitches. Their Friday, Saturday and Sunday guys are all right handed. Their closer and mid week starters are leftys. As you mentioned ERA is decent but not spectacular. They also are excellent at fielding. Rank 3rd in the nation in fielding %.
Their slugging percentage is very high, nearly .500 so they can sling bats and rank 6th in homeruns per game, but OBP not nearly as good nationally, meaning they likely swing at a fair bit of bad pitches when they aren't crushing the ball.
If we can get past those 5 pitchers and get them swinging at trash then we should be ok. We could be in trouble if they can get 2 of those guys to go 100-120 pitches each over the weekend.
I think we match well with them in the field and batting, and our pitching gives us a slight edge, but it could be a tight series

That’s a really good thing for us. We tend to struggle with lefties.

NC State can roll the f-ing pole. In saying that, if it's going to be a slugfest shootout, then that would favor Arkansas if they can get even anything out of the 3-4 spots.

What gives me hope there is how Franklin and Slavens handled their last AB's. That pitcher had been dealing but they were patient and kept fouling off pitches. Slavens ultimately grounded out but you could tell he was slowly getting his timing back. Franklin worked the 10 pitch walk and completely swung the inning.

Hard to compare. Do you think they were facing the same quality of pitching day in and day out as us? I have no clue, but I'm gonna assume that our batters have not had as many opportunities to pad states against sub-par staffs. I mean just look at the teams left. How many are SEC? How many from the West? SEC is toughest league from top to bottom so it's hard to compare.

That means Moore and Opitz will hit the left side of the plate. Good. I like Robert Moore's bat from the left side a lot more than I do from the right.
