    Personally I would have gone with Pitzer. I think the staff is placing a lot of emphasis on how Ole Miss has hit lefties and that's what they're rolling with. Which is logical.

    I am cool with it. Foster was the Sunday starter before the season started. He is very talented and let?s be hopeful that he can find something on Friday to get him back on track

    zero doubt about him being a lefty and what the numbers say in that regard. hopefully it clicks

    Well, it's not a lack of talent issue so thats the biggest thing. Will he find it tonight? Tune in at 6 to see

    Yea, I'm sure OM having issues with lefties is a big reason to give Foster the start. Biggest worry with Foster is not getting hit but all the runners he puts on with walks and hit batters and the damage that does if OM hits a bomb behind that. Solo HRs dont get you beat. Grand slams and 3 run homers do though.

    Left Handed staff after Valincius and Kirk

    A) Foster
    B) Burns
    C) Miller
    D) Bauer

    Foster is the most experienced and Burns has not started a game, that I can recall. Losing Kirk hurts because he was the most SEC ready with Valincius not factored

    Well Tico is the only LHP we have that you can have any confidence in currently. Miller gives up a HR every 10 batters. Burns is a match-up guy right now. Bauer had a good outing Tuesday to lower his ERA to 13.50

    If Burns and Foster don't show us something in the next 3 months. The LSU thing to do is upgrade in the Portal. Need a JP France type dude. That was a great transfer. Starter, Reliever, Clutch, Regionals, and Omaha. Make up so good, became a Major Leaguer.

    Just beat the rock senseless and pitching becomes much less of a discussion point.
