The mound looked solid last night against McNeese

Money actually looked good the first two innings. He was keeping it low and hitting his spots, and breaking ball was working really well. The third inning I have some mixed feelings about because even though he was getting hit around a little bit, there were some plays that shouldve been made to prevent those runs. I also liked what I saw from Herring, Guidry, and Hurd. Hurd looks good in that closing role. He's got some good stuff.

Agreed. Pitching was pretty good last night. For the most part we were able to throw strikes, even though the ump was squeezing.

Half of their hits wouldn’t have ordinarily been hits, but due to Johnson’s inexplicable shifting, they were. Additionally, nothing at all was hard hit.

The fielding was shitty and our hitting outside of White and a few other at bats was atrocious.

My biggest concern from the game is that 1-3 in our order has become a black hole.

The name of the game with Hurd is consistency. You just never know what you're going to get from him. He either looks like a potential Friday night starter or he can't get anybody out. I still think he is the key to our post-season success.

Grounds crew did a good job fixing it for Skenes last Friday

We have no long reliever. We don’t have that guy that can come in and give you 3-4 solid innings. We have guys that may or may not be good for an inning or 2 at most before they lose focus and completely fall apart. You got 2 starters. One that’s inhuman and one that’s human.

This team needs the bats to be red hot to really have a chance in the postseason.

I was just glad they were throwing strikes.
McNeese got hot but that’s not the norm.

Throw. Strikes.

Mcneese left 16 baserunners on. Could’ve been much worse. Granted the defense didn’t help them much with 4 errors

Their defense looked better than ours. Our defense this year took a bit of a spiral.

This. When pitchers really need support our defense has let them down on more occasions than not. Pitching is still in tough shape, but a dropped fly ball or a routine grounder that is bobbled has opened the dam that lead to an L in too many cases.

looked solid?? I must have been watching another game. 8 innings and LSU pitchers couldn't keep McNeese hitters off the basepaths in a single one of them, choked a 3-0 lead and were on the verge of giving the game away most innings. Against significantly lower competition. Thats where our bullpen is at level wise

Don’t forget about Dutton. He was solid.

I have zero faith in Hurd, Little and honestly, anyone not named Skenes. This team will struggle in games 2 and 3 of tourney play.
