re: Baseball America Super Regional Preview- LSU VS. OU

“I don’t love their offense, I wasn’t the least bit worried or intimidated by them. They really lack lefthanded hitting too, they’re very righthanded. You get a righty going with a good slider, seven of your nine hitters are righthanded, that can be some quick innings. OU will bunt the ball a little bit, move the ball, but nothing that really gives you trouble. They’re not real short-game-oriented like a Vanderbilt or a Louisville. They’re not great on defense. Look at Mayfield, I bet there’s 20-plus errors on him (actually 22), and Garrett Carey’s got double-digit errors at third (14). They’re just an average team on defense, they’re nothing special."

It was nice of former Vandy Assistant Coach and current Oklahoma State Head Coach Josh Holliday to make an appearance.

Gonna be a fun weekend!

Question, are you one of the guys that made their way over from landthieves?

Yes.

Are your admins always that uptight? There were several of us posting in the baseball thread that were banned for no apparent reason and I just wondered if they were purging all the LSU fans.

Sure, there was banter going back and forth but it was nothing outrageous. I was enjoying going back and forth about Nola and Gray, then boom!

They unfortunately booted a lot to get rid of a couple. No, it's usually a pretty open forum, but they don't allow trolling on the sports boards (our off-topic boards are pretty fun) and there were a TON of trolls (and still are) coming over. I left for a few hours because all we heard was how bad we were going to get our arse kicked and how much better Nola is than Gray. Granted, I don't think we'll win, but I think we've got a fighter's chance. We will see.

I'm not a negatator by any means of the word, but I just cann't forget that walkon freshman shutting us down for almost 8 innings. And then the job Stanek did on us. We need to get timely hits every time the opportunity presents itself & play error free. We should win as we are a better overall team, but that damn walkon's performance worries me a lot.

Great write-up.
Thanks.

I can also remember most of bench players knocking Wahl out in the 3rd inning.

Cotton is a great competitor....can't wait for the weekend.

I can deal with getting trolled by an opponent on their board, the same way I can deal with getting heckled to death in an opponent's venue. There was some ridiculous (and still is - one of your guys can't figure out that Austin Nola's not pitching for you) stuff being thrown around right off the bat and it was annoying.

now THAT is trolling.

Either that or its one of out annuals that start following baseball in the middle of the SEC tourney

Either way, glad I could get at least one of yall to show up

As long as we are leading going into the 9th inning I got no worries.
