re: Game 3: South Carolina 4, LSU 0 | FINAL | South Carolina Takes Series 2-1 |

I'm all for Foster staying in RF. He has had a pretty good weekend, with the exception of the misplay in the first inning.

Just trying to get some opinions

I've watched almost every LSU game this year, and I haven't seen the team that has shown up today or yesterday before.

This is true.

That last pitch by Cotton on the K, was the same thing he did last night that was called a balk.

Wow, a fly ball to the outfield with a man on third and less than two outs...almost forgot what that looked like.

Katz is due

Here we geaux. 3 outs to go. Lets score some runs.

He has a rocket arm for sure but I definitely think the reason he isnt an everyday position guy is just what we saw in the first inning which cost us possibly 1 maybe 2 runs.

I want some.
