It’s not unheard of for LSU to lose game two and make the finals

Hell, we did it in 2017. Also against a #1 seed.
That team lost to #1 Oregon State 12-1. Went on to beat FSU 7-4, Oregon State 3-1, and Oregon State again 6-1.
Strange things happen in Omaha.

I agree, but that 2017 team had a MUCH deeper pitching staff. Caleb Gilbert had a 2.16 ERA in 50 something innings pitched going into that game. We have nobody even close to that moving forward.

This is true but I was bored tonight and looked up the stats. Back then you had 2 days of rest in between games even if you lost, so like we lost tonight we’d play Wednesday night instead of Tuesday then when they won that game they played Friday and not Thursday, even if we win tomorrow we turn around and play Wednesday. An extra day of rest is much easier on a pitching staff
Secondly, some combination of Poche, Lange, and Hess pitched 3 of the 5 games, didn’t have to use anybody else. The other 2 games: The loss against Oregon state when Eric Walker blew his arm out and we had to pitch Johnny whole staff and they all got rocked to the tune of 13 runs. The rubber match against oregon state Caleb Gilbert got the start and pitched the game of his life with 7 innings and only 2 hits and Hess mopped up the last 2 innings.
We would need another Caleb Gilbert like performance from somebody out the pen, and even if that happens we don’t have a Zach Hess type closer to put the lights out with an inning or 2 to go. Oh and they’ve made it even tougher on losers bracket teams by making them play every night consecutively until the championship instead of every other night.
I’ll ride with ya though. 1 game at a time baby

Yup. No reason to be confident in what remains for us. Little has been bad most of the season. Coleman can't be stretched, Money is what he is. Guidry got blasted on 1 pitch the other night. Herring might be a starter next year so not sure how they'll use him here. Ack is short relief. Cooper has already pitched a good bit. We blew 2 starters against WF. I'm not confident 2 freshman can get it done especially when it's not even 1s natural position. All the top production is pretty much done. We're screwed. Hell, LSU is going up against a good pitcher tomorrow we might lose.
We might have way better bats than we had that year but you better rake every game if that's going to be the deciding factor to help this weak bullpen out. LSU has the worst bullpen in Omaha right now.

I’m not confident about all that. I’m just wanting to throw a wrench into Tennessee plans if it can’t be more than that.

Let’s score 14+ runs each game then

Yep requires solid, deep pitching. We don’t have it. We don’t really even have solid hitting right now so….bad combination. Forget beating Wake even once, much less twice. We may not even be very competitive against tenn.

This team is going to have to dig deep for some inspiration to have a fighting chance. Bats are going to have to produce a ton.

Sure all they have to do is beat Tennessee again then come back and beat Wake Forest twice. Fat lady singing loudly.
