Kentucky's right field is incredibly short, something like only 310 feet to the foul pole? Power alley something like only 350 feet to right. In the past several years, they just stack their lineup with left handed power guys. I would imagine this year is the same.

Yea their still stacked with lefties. And we only have 3 LHPs. Not a good matchup on paper in that aspect

We have quite a few Left Handed guys for this hitter friendly ballpark as well. Kentucky does this every year, then SEC pitching catches up to them and their offensive stats drop a good bit.

My predictions for the weekend:

Deichmann: 3 Homers to Right/Right Center
Josh Smith: 1 Homer to Right
Duplantis: 1 Homer to Right
Romero: 1 Homer to Left

LSU wins series 2-1.

Kentucky always seems to start off hot and then fall off towards the end.

Around ten seasons ago, Kentucky started off 21-0 and didn't even get a national seed. They seem to start really well, then plummet once the schedule gets harder.

Hasn't happened to them so far this year. They beat #2 Louisville 11-7 two nights ago.

If I counted correctly they have only lost 2 home games this season. One to Ole Miss and one to Vanderbilt.

Dudes can hit the ball. Doesn't seem to matter who the pitcher is.

And the opposite appears to be true with LSU.
