Tech has to have had a wake up call after the UTSA series or they had better have. Another performance like that at LSU and it’ll be a second straight 10 run loss or worse. Tech is easily better at their best than what they’ve shown and yet we are who we are, an underachieving decently good team with lots of potential and some easily identified weaknesses. Come on Tech be the real Bulldogs... beat LSU again and establish yourselves as being legit.

Our best pitcher won't be pitching tomorrow night. Let's see how our HC can manage his pitchers w/out Cade at his disposal.

I like Cade a lot. He is a gutsy pitcher. When he is on, he is a blast to watch. I worry that seeing him a second time would be welcomed by LSU.

I guarantee you the Tigahs won’t boot the ball around to the tune of 7 errors tomorrow night….

Tech needs to just put the ball in play to try to get a couple of miscues. Strikeouts won't get the ball in play.

35 errors in 20 LSU games, including 5 twice against Tech and Baylor. That total would easily be in the 40s with less lenient scoring decisions. Just three error-free games, with two errors in all three games against A&M last weekend.

Tech needs to clean up its fielding act, having made 12 errors in the last 6 games after starting with just 8 in the first 14 games.
