Very good pitching tonite for the most part...

We are struggling mightily at the plate -

Yes, that appears more a concern than anything else now.

I would hate to be LSU fan tonight though. In home opener of series with Arkansas, LSU was shut out....got hell beat out them 10-0.

Game was at Arkansas and the final was 2-0.

Yeah, I would HATE to be an LSU baseball fan too, I mean, they are 21-9 and ranked 15th, and man! having to think about all those World Series titles they have. Whew! glad I'm a Tech baseball fan where none of those silly things happen here .

Maybe they need more money for recruiting

My error, heard last couple of innings on Louisiana radio station and I thought anouncer said 10-0, but was putting gas in vehicle so may have been shock of pump price.

On LSU, will be interesting to see if they remain as good back when Bertman had all that pitching to go with team. Saw LSU assistant out at JC series recently. Does not have to watch and rank players, just marked the best two at both programs and projected draftees. Spoke later and he laughed saying, "yeah recruiting is real hard at BCS program with lots of money and baseball facilities and budget in top 10." Said he would hate to have to go to a lot of places looking at hunderds and hundreds of players all the time like a lot of his contacts in the college coaching ranks. I never mentioned Tech, etc. Life must be good at those places!!!
