    It?s been said Sims is a BA

    And he most definitely is! I know some talk about him starting and he probably could and be very good. But with our team, when we get in tourne play he is gonna be more valuable. JMO.
    Our middle and late relievers have the ?it factor?.

    Btw glad to see Brandon Smith being himself again. LOL

    Our pitching is straight nasty.

    Ole Miss leads the SEC in batting average, they are a really good team.

    Yep, no doubt. If we have a lead into the 8th, game over if he is available.

    Hot take: Sims is better than Holder.

    Holder was all dog and I love him, but his stuff wasn't (during his time here...I know he's in the Majors, so...) in the same stratosphere as Landon's. That's nothing against, JH, either...its just what it is.

    Hell, Holder's best pitch was actually that 12-6 curve, not the fastball.

    No doubt. That 12/6 he had was unhittable at times. Difference is he only threw 91-92. Lindgren's curveball was even better than Holder's IMO. That thing was filthy. It had too much break on it at times. A catcher's nightmare.

    Sims needs to use Holder's music. Talk about a crowd going bezerk? Let "God's Gonna Cut You Down" ring out during the 9th

    That is definitely the most bad ass dick swinging walkout song a closer can have, but that belongs to JH. I think of him every time I listen to it. Same with The Outfield and Jake. I do think that Landon could've picked something [much] better than Whitesnake, though, lol.

    Sims could have Tiny Tim’s “Tip Toe Thru The Tulips” song and still be a BA!

    He's one of the best closers I've ever seen in college baseball! Just pure dominant!

    He reminds me of a very young Mike Tyson walking into the ring! The fear for the opponents is there!
    He is a grown man at an early age!

    You got that right! I mean the dude just exudes confidence and you ain't gonna beat me! Love it! I feel like it's all over when he comes in.

    Eta om can hit and they were completely overmatched against him. I
    Mean not even close.

    Yeah I even took a breath in the 9th and my heart rate went down when I saw him on the mound. I was kinda pissed at Lane, but it still didn't bother me too much because I felt Sims had it covered. If you can put State fans somewhat at ease over an error in the 9th, you know you're good!
