Couple of thoughts to add....it's nit picking but Nola needs to be sharper and Rumbelow has to get better or they may have to try someone else in his role (maybe Berry even though he was a little off tonight). Overall the pitching is good enough, you can win 2/3 in every series with Nola, Eades, Bourgeois and Cotton, but it would be easier with one or two other guys stepping up. We'll see what Glenn can give them on Sunday.

Nola, Eades, Bourgeois, and Cotton are a hell of a core group of guys that the team can rely on. Glenn's start against Miss St didn't go well, but he'll get another chance in front of a home crowd.

I thought Nola pitched well tonight, he just needs to find a groove; he already pitches with a ton of confidence.

A couple of things I have wondered about in the lineup are DH and the outfield. We have a deep rotation this year when it comes to outfielders. Laird, Stevenson, Sciambra, McMullen, and Foster (still improving) are very capable.

Rhymes is decent in left, but with Edward and Chinea not impressing at DH I wonder if Mainieri will let a more natural outfielder be out there and put Rhymes at DH. It will make the lineup better defensively and we wouldn't lose anything offensively. Again, plenty of ball left to be played and the formula has worked thus far. Just curious

I also like what Moore can do with the bat, so against righties I would expect he gets chances

LSU is clearly the best team in the country at this point in the year
