NC State beats Arkansas to force a game 3.

Damn what a change of events. I was there last night when piggy went off.

Wouldn’t it be a shame if the train to OmaHog got derailed tomorrow. 😀

Ya I’m glad they are in the other bracket. Their offense is en fuego

 

[hornsup21]

Not ready to buy that yet.

good call given what just happened today

 

[hornsup21]

Texas has the better pitching staff from top to bottom. We have 3 starters that can beat any team it faces. A 4th that is off and on. 2 solid closers and Witt who is probably one of the best middle relievers. That’s how you win a tournament. It’s not just about the first 2 games it’s the ones that still have solid pitching the 3rd, 4th and 5th games.

I'm with ya and agree but VAndy is loaded in a diffrent way.
We have the best 3 deep and best era in the nation.
They probably have the best 1-2 and the best WHIP( we are # 2/3) in the nation. After their 1/2 punch they also have SIX other guys with era's under 3. After our top 2 we have 3 . A few of those six guys on Vandy have a crazy K to AB ratio.

Easily the 2 best staffs in the college game. They hit a little better than us .We both have good D.

Let's just get To Omaha and let it rip.IMO it's a 3 man fight with us Vandy and piggy even though they got beat----LMAO!!!! sooooooo eeee piggy-lol

LSU up 1-0 T2

 

[Ketchum]

Tennessee beats LSU 4-2 in game one.

 

[joeywa]

TN channeling their inner Kent Murphy.
Dinger Derby in Knoxville. TN has 5 dingers and leads LSU 9-2 T5

 

[joeywa]

UVA beat DBU 4-0 to force Game 3 tomorrow.

Also of note, rumor is that Arky will start their closer Kopps this afternoon against NC State.

 

[Big Bertha]

Frickin SEC will have Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and possibly Arkansas, Ole Miss, and MSU at the CWS. I'm hoping for 2 of those to lose out today. Hopefully it's two Texas teams in there with us and DBU.

 

[ARLSAHorn]

The point is the world series tends to magnify the importance of the first two or three pitchers. In the regular season, having the depth of squad is extremely important, but in the world series you play your best guys as often as you can. Those 4th and 5th starters are likely never starting. You bring back No1 and No2 as soon as you are able. Top to bottom isn't as important as front loading quality at the front end. That "bottom" that eventually finds a lot of playing time in the regular season due to its length and not wanting to wear out front line pitchers, isn't much of a factor in the world series, more the "top".

+100
Also the closer......think Huston Street or JB Cox

 

[PepperedAngus]

Haven’t watched much of them this season, but it really seems like the cupboard is pretty bare at LSU on the mound and out of the pen.

ya, it is very likely going to be SEC fest in Omaha. Be nice if Arizona could take out Ole Miss. I highly doubt Notre Dame beats Miss State twice.

There should be no doubt that the SEC has some really good baseball being played in their conference.

They’re young. Probably shouldn’t have got out of the Regionals. This is not the send off Mainieri wanted. Down 11-2 thru 5 complete now.

Another dinger in Knoxville
TN up 13-6 T8

 

[joeywa]

Headed B9, and LSU needs a miracle, trailing 15-6

[joeywa]

Kopps over 50 pitches in T3

2-run dinger for NC St gives them the 2-1 lead in T3

 

[joeywa]

Thru 4 complete, NC St up 2-1 over Arky

Arky gets a solo shot to tie it up in Fayetteville at 2, B7

 

[ARLSAHorn]

Thanks for the updates!

So this Arkie pitcher threw 21 pitches yesterday and 115 today? That’s absurd

Gonna be their Austin Wood

Kopps is a machine. Man, these coaches sure do overuse arms.

 

[MikeCorleone]

NC State probably needs to strike here.
