No. Definitely not "all".

It's a recap of the preseason team "tool" scores. They revise the numbers and talk a little about each tool for each team.

It's a good breakdown of the teams, but it's nothing about matchups, opinions, the cws itself, etc.

interesting look at things. i think they are selling lsu's speed short. they have lsu at 84th in stolen bases but, ncaa has lsu at 56th as of 6-13. i count 11 legit teams in front of lsu and i'm pretty certain they don't have lsu's speed. i think lsu will be the fastest team in omaha and that usually makes a difference at some point.

looking at this comparison, lsu stacks up really well. the tigers have a more than respectable pitching number and then there's this nugget from the louisville analysis, "Outside of LSU, this is the lineup in Omaha that has the best chance to go bonkers against opposing pitching."

Despite Poche's roller coaster I just think he's due to pitch well in Omaha and with Walker I think the staff is capable of doing well in Omaha.
My only concern might be Hess and is he ready for the big stage - his stuff is definitely ready. But I guess the good thing is LSU has a steady hand in Newman who is likely playing his last baseball with not going in draft.

We won't see Hess throw two lollipop rainbows to 1B. I'm quite certain Walker won't either.

Aaron Fitt is not a scout.

I mean at this point you can't have a bigger stage then the 8th and 9th inning of a game 1 super regional. And CPM made a decision to leave Hess in the game. I'm sure they have the confidence to put him in.

The concern without a doubt, beyond winning game 1 is Poche in game 2.

Fitt picked Florida State in their CWS preview podcast. Color me shocked

Of all the teams in this field, I don't even remotely see how that could be the pick, even for an ACC-homer like Fitt.

They could very well beat LSU tomorrow, but they don't have what it takes to make a deep run in this field.

Well he's gonna look mighty stupid when FSU starts out 0-1.
