Baseball America Super Regional Preview- LSU VS. OU

SIAP- Pretty good write-up with the views of each team from opposing coaches who have played against the teams.
LSU vs. OU

“Chris Cotton is good, man. There’s just something about him. His pitches are good, but that dude should not be closing—you shouldn’t have a mid-80s lefty closing, you wouldn’t think. But his numbers are great. It’s three pitches, solid, nothing special—and he just gets them out."
quote:
“I think what Bregman’s done this year is beyond special. What he’s done offensively and defensively, how consistent he’s been, and he’s hitting in the middle of the order for a great team. It’s not like he’s hitting in the 9-hole. Opposing pitchers are absolutely bearing down on him, and it doesn’t matter. Gosh, he is special. And I know we use that term too often, but man, he is special. He’ll wear out both gaps, he’ll hit fastballs, he’ll hit breaking balls. As a hitter, he’s just very under control, looks like he sees the ball well. A lot of young guys look jumpy, but he doesn’t. There’s no way this kid’s a freshman, there’s no way."

That quote about Cotton says it all.

Other than Gray, the ou team doesn't sound as good/or any better than the "average" SEC opponent. I mean LSU plays this level of competition every weekend, this isn't the big 12. Everybody talks about how great Gray is & all that but I think Nola has the advantage because he has the lineup advantage. If Nola can hold his own on the mound, & our hitters can be patient & scratch a run or two across, I don't see ou's lineup being able to come from behind against Nola on a Friday night with the crowd.

No doubt, Oklahoma is not a great team. They had a mediocre Big 12 season, and the Big 12 had a down year. Oklahoma lost a ton of series.
However, when you have one of the top pitchers in college baseball, you have a chance in a three game series. In a seven game series, you'd pick LSU to prevail everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. But in a short, one weekend series, if Gray can win his game Oklahoma will have a chance.

Great article....If we win with Nola on Friday..it's over. If we lose on Friday....heck, it's still over. We don't lose 2 at home to these guys.

"with the exception of Bregman, he’s got a different gene pool than everybody else playing"
TRUTH!

I know, I thought that was great. Bregman is just a boss. Every time he steps to the plate, opposing pitchers can just tell that he has never, and will never, have a single frick to give. Posted on 6/6/13 at 10:17 am to HamBone14

They just have five legit guys in their lineup that can hit a double or triple. And they think that they’re supposed to win because they’re wearing that jersey.

Great read. Thanks for sharing.
Who y'all reckon the coach was talking about LSU?

This is truth.
Bottom line: LSU is a better all-around team than OU. What I've said all year, though, is that if we could get through the regionals, we'd have a shot at Omaha because of our starting pitching. Are we favored? No. But there's a reason we're playing prime time all weekend, and it's not because ESPN thinks the series is going to be a blow out.
That said, if it's a blow out, that's not good news for OU at all.
