We do not have a lot of tired arms that's for sure.

If we get Bain on track, the Gilbert kid going five full, with Newman and Bugg back to form; things are looking up.

Add in Reynolds and the rest of the staff and we suddenly have an effective pen.

Poche' is key here. We need him to return to form sooner than later. Hopefully Dunn can identify something, tune him up and he'll once again be a very good starter.

This will be the difference in LSU upsetting a team during super regional play or getting bounced out in regional play.

The past 3-4 weeks Jared's complete lack of control with the fastball has absolutely killed him. If you have a chance go and rewatch the first two innings of every game, continually getting behind in the count and then serving up batting practice fastballs. Hitters know its coming and I've waited for Dunn to pitch backwards with hitters on the curve/change but it just hasn't happened. I hope he's able to get back on track against Tennessee because Florida is an extremely patient and disciplined group.

1st inning - 2 runs @ Missouri, 4 runs Mississippi St., 2 runs @ Ole Miss, 2 runs Arkansas.

I think Poches problem is throwing too many pitches right down the heart of the plate. Even with his breaking ball, he's been leaving it up right in strike zone. His stuff is not good enough for that, he has to locate his pitches better.
