Got to find a way to not get swept the next 2 weeks. Coming home at 4-5 would be a win for me
We will, might even win a series. Relax and enjoy 7(I know you won't relax though lol)Quote:

We were one shitty ball/strike sequence by the ump yesterday from a sweep.

2023 SEC play
Lost all 3 games - 4 times
Won 1 game - 3 times
Won 2 games - 3 times
Won all 3 games - never happened
Yep. 100% and especially on the sequence from yesterdayQuote:

The question is has the offense really come to life or was this weekend an aberration. If our offense is going to be anything like this weekend going forward we will be more than OK.Quote:

With Hines struggling so badly with power and Kohler getting injured I figured it was probably an aberration. Although our approach in pre SEC play was garbage.Quote:

How soon can we get Loftin in the rotation and how durable will he be? Are we better off moving Dohm back to the bullpen and then who replaces him? Where does Nolan Stevens fit in and how do we maximize his ability as a pitcher as well as a hitter? It's been awhile since we have had a true dual position player like him.
It also sounds like Pico Kohn will be available this week too.
We may very well lose the series to A&M just because of pitching uncertainty while we're trying to figure everything out plus their pitching staff is much better than LSU. And it's on the road.
Also, I think as far as hitting goes we need to let Cupp sit for now. Mershon and Larry are handling the MIF fine for now. And opening up the DH spot gives us a chance to get Stevens in the lineup more. Downs and Chance are both playing pretty well too although Downs has to stay in right now. And I kind of hate saying that because I really enjoy watching Cupp play SS.
Very true. Sitting Cupp allows a better bat in the lineup by playing Chance/Downs/Stevens at DH. And Stephen has to start on the mound right now. But if Dohm, Loftin, Ligdon, Holcombe, and/or Stevens progress, then Stephen might soon get pushed out.Quote:

Am I the first to comment that Dohm's legs look ridiculous? ND has Mr Olympia legs. He was stout last year, but this year, the pump is bigger.
ND should consider the timing thing that Ethan Small did when his lower half got bigger.
I'm not sure what Pico is going to give us this year but I could see him as a good left on left guy in the short term although we have Cheatham for that.Quote:
