IYO, who honestly looked like the better team today?

without the glasses, we still won.

I think we did today, but it would be interesting to see our best pitchers go at it

I thought Vandy had the more aggressive team. Possibly better hitting team. But we have better pitching and defense. It's a good matchup. I'd give the edge to LSU if we both had our ace's on the mound.

We beat them without some key players. So I would say we did.

Outside of Miller's phenomenal innings, I thought LSU looked like the better team today.

If you remove his innings, which could largely be attributed to us never seeing him on the mound, LSU seemed like the better team during the innings he wasn't on the mound. JMO. YMMV. IDGAF. SIAP. GFY.

the only discernible differences I saw

Vandy was better at putting consistent pressure on the pitcher inning to inning

LSU was better at fielding

Miller is widely considered the top 3 closers in the country fwiw

We won, so we're better. That's the only metric that counts.

Yup, he is an excellent closer who was also getting the biggest strike zone ever until one missed call in the winning inning.

I don't doubt it at all with the stuff I saw him throw today.

But, I think had we seen him once or twice in a three game series this year, we might have done a little bit better.

I have sung Miller's praise in quite a number of threads today.
