    Our approach at the plate made Rocker look good tonight. We chased too much of his junk and didn?t sit fastball or high curve.

    On top of that you could predict his pitches. Why didn?t our staff pick up on that. He?s good but we made him look better tonight.

    Lieter is heavy fastball. We have to sit red tomorrow and not give him help like we did Rocker but I swear we never think through at bats or our approach to a pitcher.

    We are probably the 3rd or 4th best team in the conference. The problem is that Vandy and Ark are on another level. Then it?s Miss State, South Carolina and Tennessee. We might get swept, but that?s ok if we win the games we are supposed to in order to get a National seed. Then hope for some luck in Omaha

    I agree that Vandy and Arkansas are on a different level. I think we are the 3rd best team though our starting weekend rotation gives me pause. Really need to find a way to win 1 game. Sweeps are tough to recover from. You have to sweep 2 series to make up for getting swept once.

    This. I think we can still win Sunday, tho. OM losing 2 to LSU pretty much assures we get a host over them as long as we don't shit the bed.

    I guess I'm shocked some folks are shocked we looked bad against a Top 3 draft pick.

    This lineup is one of the weakest we've had over the last decade and Rocker is an experienced SEC pitcher with dominant stuff. We weren't going to look good against him and I don't expect us to look good against Leiter tomorrow.

    That's just facts folks. Expecting this lineup to have a bunch of quality at bats against these guys isn't reasonable. We need Bednar to go 6-7 innings giving up 2 runs or less of we want to have a legit chance to win. Just is what it is at this point. Just so happens two of the most dominate SEC pitchers over the last decade are on the same roster at the same time.

    what's sickening about it is that if it were any other school in the SEC, the ncaa would have said "nope" and put the kibosh on it years ago, but no other school in the sec has a private endowment unless i am mistaken? i've always thought that college ball should be like nascar. everyones car is made to run the same. so your not being beat by a better car, just a better driver. Tim Corbin isnt a better driver, he's just got better cars. The best money can buy. yes, i'm salty. ugh. I'll quit talking stupid.

    Outside of our atrocious hitting tonight and the abortion in the 4th inning we were right there with them. But when you have walks errors against top teams they make you pay.

    That is what is most disappointing is the unforced mistakes. Saw it all 3 games against arky and then again tonight.

    They rarely work counts, swing at way too many worm burners. But I never played college ball and faced level of pitching. So what do I know.

    Remember when OM fans and some of our own were calling LSU a paper tiger. Good times.

    Not if they win one against LSU and we get swept, which could both very well happen. Then, we're back where we started and we've still got USC on the road. They've impressed me too. Much better than I thought after watching them against the PIGS. At least they won one against them.
