re: So…How good is Florida?

In a normal Friday-Sunday series. LSU likely takes 2/3.

From what I can tell, their starters are great, but not close to the level of Skenes/Lowder. They've also gotten insanely lucky at getting out of based loaded situations this CWS. I think teams are 0-fer with bases loaded against them. And the Virginia coach gave the game away in Game 1 against them.

Both their main starters have raw numbers similar to Ty Floyd. But I have no clue about their starters' "stuff."

Floyd - 4.45 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 0.210 Opp BA, 0.43 BB/IP

Waldrep - 3.99 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 0.223 Opp BA, 0.51 BB/IP
Sproat - 4.66 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 0.217 Opp BA, 0.42 BB/IP

Caglinone - 3.68 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 0.186 Opp BA, 0.71 BB/IP. Cags is so wild that he's hard to hit.

LSU absolutely needs Game 1.

I would say their pitching staff resembles Tennessee with Lindsey and Beam more than it does Wake win Lowder and Hartle.
