relief pitching is kind of an important part of the game.

Our fans have been acting like a 5-2 5th inning game is this insurmountable lead.

Our fans are pissy about the Tenn players but our guys are bat flipping over the dugout.

This is going to be a LONG game.

Blame the coaching.

UT just matched LSU's hit total from last night. :bow:
LSU has 3 earned runs in this series.

Scored 3 runs Tuesday night against NWST

2 earned runs against Bama on Saturday in game 3.

And scored 4 ER on Friday.



Games like winning 11-6 against Bama and 10-2 vs OU are now the outlier rather than the trend. I'm less worried about the bullpen than I am about the bats.

It's kind of insane that LSU has ended 2 of their 5 innings with attempted bunts with 2 outs.

ESPN production focusing on the wrong thing.

Don't blame the announcers when the team isn't showing them the right angle to comment on.

This is the 11th SEC game in a row our offense has done jack shite against the starter.


Starting with the OU Series:

Runs in the first 6 innings:

OU - 2
OU - 6
OU - 1
AU - 0
AU - 1
AU - 0
Bama - 4
Bama - 4
Bama - 3
Tenn - 0
Tenn - 0 (Through 4)

So that's 21 runs through 64 innings, good for just under 3 runs per game.
There's a huge logjam there from #2-#10.

Arkansas has a brutal finish to their schedule.

Two series down the stretch could be the difference between a top 8 seed and going on the road for a regional or vice versa for several of these teams.

Yayyyy fly out


LSU is being pretty diverse tonight for a change.

6 strikeouts
6 ground outs
6 fly outs

This is what always gets me. Everyone talks about cushy, overpaid government jobs, but at the same time, no one wants to work there.


But on topic, if I'm told I cannot work remotely at all on the clock, you can bet I'll start leaving the office and refusing to do work after hours since I'm not allowed to work at my house during the day ever.

and we played all 9 innings.


Well run rules are a relatively new thing. That was a 10-run game in the 8th.

Anyone know when the last time we got run ruled in a midweek game? Would be a nice little trivia piece.


Time to use AI.

According to that, We lost to LA Tech 12-1 in 2019.
Stats are wild on this one. Out-hit by 2, but getting run-ruled.

Players really just mentally went home during the rain delay.

The only question is does your team have capable bullpen arms who could put it together in omaha. I think they do.


I'm honestly less concerned with the pitching than I am with the defense in the field and the offense.

Defense is usually pretty good, then they just have a game or series (Auburn) where they just make silly errors and don't make 50/50 plays.

Then of course there's the Jones problem at the plate. It seems like we are all just waiting for him to come around, but he's playing like a 9-hole hitter.
So Jones will likely finish the series 2-11 with 6 Ks. And that is somehow an improvement from his play recently.

Is Jones now 2 for his last 25? 12 Ks or something like that?

Seems like there’s an outlier, and it isn’t the bad performances.


Meanwhile let's just ignore the 12 total runs over the last 4.5 SEC games.

Similarly, that 10-2 OU Saturday game is the outlier offensively in the entirety of April.

Well, we asked for fewer fly outs. **monkey paw curls**
