Cole and Luke were hugely responsible for Us going to Omaha. Luke got some great walks, after fouling off many pitches. Hell he got 3 hits in row on Sat. And Cole--well he was tremendous and got a big shout out from Corbin. in the inning where we got the 4 runs--out 2 heroes struck out but the other guys stepped up BIG TIME.
Great Compliment. They were Elite when the team needed them. This team has that chemistry that it takes to win the big games. Hail State!Quote:

Cole Gordon gets the MVP for the super regional imo.
Luke had some big time at bats. He worked the pitcher like a champ. drew walks and hit over 300. we dog him when he plays bad let's praise Him when he steps up and plays great.
Offer Gordon a weekend rotation spot. With his size, ability to easily throw 100 pitches and get strikeouts he can get himself drafted. Gotta present it to him like this. He's got a chance to make some good money and play pro ball for awhile if he'll give us one more year.

LA finally changed his approach at the plate. It staarted the Sunday nite game in Tallahassee. He got out of pull mode and let the ball travel. Thus allowing him to lay off the breaking balls out away from him.
If Coach Mangum asks him to stay, I think he stays.Quote:

Seems like he has cut back on some of his preswing movement also. With all that movement, I don't see how he even hits sec pitching what little he does. He needs to lean toward Paul Molitor style and see how that works for him.Quote:
