And if I am not mistaken, Cody Glenn didn't get "pulled" in the 4th, he got hit in the shin and had to come out due to injury. Not that he was pitching great, but was holding his own and would have given them at least a few more outs....

Chris Cotton has a 1 to 7 curve ball?

The go-ahead run (turns out that's all we needed) came before this. But that was a blown call in LSU's favor.
Guess it makes up for the blown "foul ball" call that took a run away from LSU earlier in the game. Think that was Laird too?

he reminds me of the lefty from atlanta with 3 wins and 0 era. Cotton may even throw harder then him

Several LSU questions in their chat today
Matt (Lafayette): I believe I have identified flaw in Alex Bregman’s game. The guy hits a very catchable line drive. He squares up a pitch in 90% of his at bats, but most of them are screaming liners that stay 5 feet off the ground. He finally got one about 10 feet off the ground that went over everyone and out for a home run on Sunday. If he gets this problem corrected, he’ll hit about .750 with 50 homers. I’ve never seen someone hit the ball consistently hard like he does. What do you think?
Aaron Fitt: I think your analysis is pretty spot-on! How about that sac "fly" he hit to left field on Friday? Thing was hit about 120 miles an hour (or so it seemed). I'm going to have to self-impose a Bregman embargo so I don't make everybody sick of hearing about him, because he's special.
Glenn (Baton Rouge): How about some love for the LSU bullpen outdueling Arkansas’ pen in Sunday’s finale? 6.2 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 0 R versus Arkansas’ 7.1 IP, 5 H, 1 BB, 2 R. Both pens were phenomenal, but LSU’s unheralded bullpen got the job done in a big way on the road.
Aaron Fitt: That is the thrust of today's Three Strikes column -- check it out! Link is on our home page.
Drewbie (Pine Bluff): If LSU is the #3 team in the country, don’t you think Arkansas is probably #3b? I thought them Hogs fought LSU pitch for pitch and if it weren’t for a few errors and bad calls by the officials, Arkansas could have won the series. Can Arkansas still get in the top 8 despite the bad RPI?
Aaron Fitt: All right, let's just have a little LSU-Arkansas section of the chat (heaven knows there is enough interest in those two programs...). Arkansas did play LSU tough and could have won the series, although I don't think there any calls would have swung it the other way. Don't forget, LSU was robbed of extra bases on a blown call down the line earlier Sunday -- and the Tigers already had the lead when that call in the 10th started another rally. Yes, that insurance run helped, but I don't really believe Arkansas would have scored a single run against Chris Cotton anyway. I still think LSU is a much better defensive and offensive team than Arkansas, but the Hogs do have the pitching to keep them competitive against anybody. But they have had three losing weekends now, while LSU hasn't had any, and a number of other teams have lost 0 or 1 series. So Arkansas passes the eye test, but it does not pass the resume test, when it comes to being a top-five team. 12 games against teams outside the top 200 in the RPI really kill the Hogs' chances for a national seed, especially since they have lost those two big home series against MSU and LSU. If those two Sunday games had gone the other way, I'd feel much better about Arkansas as a national seed contender.
Jeff (D.C.): Having been to college parks across the country, how much more difficult is it for a team to go into an environment like LSU went into this weekend and win versus UNC going to Blacksburg or UVA going to GA Tech? VT and GT have great RPIs and presumably great teams, but not 10,000+ fans and a football game environment behind them.
Aaron Fitt: I certainly think it is more difficult, but when you're talking about high-level college athletes, they get used to it. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take Colin Moran or Kent Emanuel very long to adjust to playing in front of SEC crowds, just like Alex Bregman or Chris Cotton have -- those kinds of guys are unflappable. Great players are great players, regardless of the atmosphere.
Jordan (Baton Rouge): Do you see Alex Bregman in the running for National Player of the Year as well as being the top candidate for Freshman of the Year?
Aaron Fitt: Funny, I was just talking about that possibility in the press box on Sunday. Yes, I think he's got at least a chance to be the Player of the Year as a freshman, which would be historic. His all-around value is really high. (So much for my Bregman embargo. Darn.)
Mike (Baton Rouge): Aaron, what are your thoughts on LSU's Cody Glenn? I'm just not sold on him right now
Aaron Fitt: I'm not either -- that is my one lingering concern with LSU. Thought his stuff was very pedestrian yesterday.
