Pretty generous IMO. Our pitching staff will be lights out, but I believe our success will depend on what kind of production we can have at the plate. We will see what we have to work with this weekend, and I for one cannot wait.

LSU will hit the ball fine. The real concern is their fielding. New faces everywhere along the field I just hope the chemistry is there. Could cost them a few games with silly errors

My feelings, too.

At every scrimmage I attended this spring the infield kicked the ball around way too much.

I realize that's why they practice but even at the last preseason scrimmage on Tuesday, I counted four errors with three of them committed by the presumed starters. And that was only in 4 innings.
