    A few things:

    1. LSU is having to play some freshmen like we did last year and it's showing. When you lose a bunch from your team- it's not plug and play. But let's dont act like they suck- they were 3 outs away from winning that series this weekend
    2. Home teams have won 12/14 series so far
    3. Halfway thru the season- Hugesak is hitting .361. Remember me telling you guys he was going to hit this year?
    4. UPig seems to be the favorite due to pitching but they got a favorable beginning with Mizzou/Auburn
    5. This season is going to be a bigger grind than previous years- the conference is pretty balanced.
    6. Some teams (including us) are going with one of their best SP's on Sunday this year it seems.
    7. People need to quit giving Cupp so much shit. He is the same as Chance at the plate but an elite defender. I think he should get 1 weekend start and the midweek. Develop him
    8. Georgia, @Mississippi, Auburn- that stretch is huge for us after Fla
    9. Good response by Purdue after his bad outing vs LSU. Great job and quality start to win a Saturday game on the road.
    10. Hunter has woken up and is seeing it well right now.

    I wonder if Cupp should play 3rd vs Lefties b/c I like Larry at 2B. That opens up DH for Stevens or Chance.

    That's not a bad idea at all. Kohler is struggling vs these top notch SEC LHP's

    It's a bit risky because he has never played that position before and he's already struggling enough as it is.

    I would not risk turning him into Forsythe 2.0.

    If we are 4-5 after this weekend and can go 6-3 against uga, Auburn, and OM then we will be sitting way ahead of what most of us thought being 10-8 6 series’ in.

    Even at 9-9 we would be in pretty good shape. 10-8 and we are in the running to host if we can keep the Mo on our side
