re: BR Super Regional: LSU 2, OU 0 - Tigers Lead 1-0 - Two-Hit CG, SO for Nola!!

Why? I'm not from some other board who pops up just for games. Is the Rant just for LSU fans?

That's really high. That kid's got to see Tommy John surgery in his near future throwing like that, especially with his velocity.

All legs. He's like a Clemens or Nolan Ryan. Not a big deal.

They just panned the dugout and I swear Nate Bumstead is hanging out in there.

Big Nate!

What is this plate approach?

Watch 1-2 strikes down Main Street then swing away?

I guess they are trying to get Gray's pitch count up to get him out of the game but his last outing he threw like 140 pitches so I'm not sure this is a great approach.

frick this game sucks.

Team Bunt needs to start making an appearance with runner on 1st no outs...

Le sigh
