A lot of negativity about this team right now, and rightfully so given the pitching issues….

But as a fan/homer, I’m Calling it now… we go 3-0 in the regional, and win the first two games of the Super, and win Game1 in Omaha. After that, I have no prediction.

Skenes and this offense are gonna get us to the Omaha marbles game IMO, and along the way I think another pitcher or 2 are gonna unexpectedly step up in the moment when the postseason lights are on.

Game2 in Omaha is the game to circle IMO.

Your post is one day too late.

I canceled my hotel reservation for Omaha yesterday.

I could see it.

I could also see us losing our 3rd game of regionals and getting into a pissing contest to get through to supers.

I could also see us splitting the 1st 2 of supers, and having to throw the kitchen sink in game 3 to get to Omaha.

It's a really hard prediction, given we've had some issues in all 3 phases at times. They might all align, they might kind of ho and hum unpredictably, or they might all just go right down the toilet.

I'm not worried about the regionals in the slightest.

We're going to beat some poor 4-seed with Blake Money or some shite starting and then take the winner's bracket game with Skenes. After that, I don't care how bad our pitching is, whoever we face in the finals is going to have depleted arms and have to beat us twice. We're fine there.

Previously, I said that I wasn't too concerned about the super regionals either with Skenes taking game 1. I had faith that we could piece together another win with our offense over the next two games.

I still would say there is a better chance we win a super than lose it, but these last two weeks of even shittier bullpen than I could've imagined, I'm not as confident.

Skenes can’t do it alone. We need pitching that more than likely isn’t going to magically appear.

Ty Floyd can get us the game 3 win but not sure who we would use in game 1 against the 4-seed.

They might and I hope they do but nothing lately suggests you are right.

To think 2 pitchers are going to unexpectedly show up is very naïve.

Unless we stay in winners bracket, the SEC tourney should be an after thought to Regionals/Super Regionals and CWS

I think this team i/ very capable of win 2/3 most series. And that’s what we’ve done all year.

Regional, basically throw whoever game 1 and try and outhit the SWAC team we get. The. It’s basically a best of 3 and we have the advantage of Skenes game 2 so hopefully we’re facing someone out the losers bracket throwing on fumes our game 3.

The t be super back to best 2/3

Omaha is where is gets rough. Just a lot of pitching but that’s everyone’s problem.

If you are going into Game 1 in Omaha, just polish that crystal ball and get us to the Natty.

LSUStephen, is that you? I like your confidence, but I think it’s a little premature.

Is he pitching all 6 games to start the postseason? That’s the only chance you have to start 6-0. LSU pitching staff is average outside of Skenes. You are ranked #66 in the nation in team ERA.

I am feeling more confident about getting through a regional but I don’t see us winning a super against a good team. I would be worried if we get matched up with any SEC team for three games with the way we have played for the last half of the season.
