re: LSU 3 @ Auburn 0 Final

Don’t forget, all the SKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKENES

I'd love Ty to come out tomorrow night and be great Ty. Find the zone.

Our bats will make up any difference.

Tre' Morgan on what he saw on that home run: "I saw that he hit Gavin first pitch on his hand. And then the next pitch was a ball to me, so I knew he was gonna try to groove in a fastball somewhere and hopefully it was a strike because I kind of committed dead red on fastball, as soon as I saw it, I let it loose." #LSU

Tre' Morgan on playing lf: "Obviously I feel more comfortable in everything at first base. But now that I'm starting pretty much every day In left -- I want to be just as good, if not, better in left." #LSU

Johnson on Tre' Morgan at the plate: "It's hard to maybe see these things all the time when he is as experienced as he is, but his swing has actually got better, tighter. Just keeping him in the zone, allowing him to tap into his strength more. That's one of the best balls I've ever seen him hit. And then just a really professional bat for the third RBI." #LSU

Paul Skenes on extending past six innings: "I think it's really tough sometimes with with all the strikeouts because that's just more pitches. It's more pitches to get it out, but it was really nice because we had some contact early in the game. We had a quick inning at some point in there too. That put us in a position to be able to go out there in the eighth. That's the goal every weekend. It doesn't always work out like that, but that's kind of just the nature of how it is and how other teams are going to treat us." #LSU

More Paul Skenes on Hurd & what's working for him right now: "To be honest, I don't think the shift has been as big as people think it would be. He's always been confident. He's always believed in himself. He's always had just power power stuff, but I just feel like a lot of the time things just don't go right. To be able to stay the course is obviously super tough. But he's done that and that speaks so much to who he is as a person and as a player." #LSU

Paul Skenes on Thatcher Hurd shutting the door on tonight's game: "I told him after the game, 'I can't wait to watch you do it again this weekend.' Selfishly, I wish I were here next year to watch him do it as a teammate, but I can't wait to watch him do it next year too." #LSU

Jay Johnson on Paul Skenes: "When he's pitching I'm living the best days of my life."

Jay Johnson on Tre' Morgan: "I think he's having a great season. Because of the great players on our team, he gets overlooked a little bit and he's gonna make a Major League Baseball team really happy. I'm really happy to see him have a game like that and be the standout player." #LSU

Sources say the new stache was inspired by Hayden Travinski


Re: Broadcast saying Brady Neal is out for season.

I’d rather be last than wrong on this. I’ve gotten mixed reports, but will report when I have something definitive on record.

I will say he hasn’t played in a month now.

Just rewatched the game - great game by Morgan obviously. Milazzo needs to keep working counts his only bad at bat was the ninth when he swung first pitch. Overall pitching night I guess accept it for what it was, but the guys didn’t hit for shite and tomorrow will be the best auburn can offer. Hopefully they take the advantage that Skenes gave them in a first game win and get the bats going tomorrow.

Nice. Skenes is awesome but Hurd getting an 11 pitch save is very promising.

Wiley Ballard, one of the SECN+ broadcasters reached out— said he misspoke on Neal’s status. He meant to say Edwards & Shores
