We won’t beat them by hitting better.

Well we did already do this earlier this year :lol:

We had 1 more hit in the series and scored 8 more runs than Arky.

You're really grasping at straws to try to say the LSU has an advantage at the plate tomorrow night

Where did I say that?

What has been proven already though is that LSU top arms are capable of holding down Arkansas' offense. Doesnt mean they will this time, just that it has been done.

Pretty disingenuous thread.

Ehh its partially true.

Regardless of the method they use, using most advanced metrics, they are ahead of lsu at the plate.

Statistically sure. But Arkansas only scored 3 ER between Anderson and Eyanson 2 of which were solo homers. I think Musso said something like 66% of their runs in the NCAA tourney have been via HR. And I think 9 of their 15 runs against Tenn were off of homers.

When we played, LSU had more multi hit innings than Arkansas in the series.

re: Oregon becomes first state to end private equity and corporate control of doctor practices

It is incredible how PE has literally doubled the cost of pet ownership in the last few years.

Its a bunch of factors but yes Corporate and PE firms buying out older vets have driven the cost up.

Covid played a huge factor in vet prices. There was a huge boom in the industry while everyone was at home and had disposable income. At that time PE firms were buying up smaller practices at huge multipliers and that type of money isnt something you pass up. Costs continued to increase and demand has slowed causing a lot of those practices to close up shop.

Vet medicine prices for that past 2 decades were always under what they should have been. Mainly because veterinarians are notoriously bad business owners, its not what they went to school for. But now vet medicine in the PE world is following human medicine. They are utilizing licensed technicians more, skirting VCPR rules with vets, while charging more. Private practices are slowing closing as they cant keep up. Those PE firms get massive purchase discounts from distributors and manufacturers leaving private practices paying more for the same product.

Now with inflation, increased costs, more competition and corporate/PE involvement, the avg lifetime cost of owning a dog is averaging over $20,000.

Nola has a ton of talent. But that team has played undisciplined for years. That’s the culture all the way down to the club level and it’s infuriating.
