Put enough pressure on their starters and force them to go to their bullpen and we’ll win 2 of 3. A sweep would be sweet.

That is pretty much our recipe for success against anybody. If it becomes a bullpen battle, we will usually have a big advantage.

We don’t do a good job of making pitchers work. Definitely something that’s needs to be stressed for next weekend.

Put the Canadian Crippler on the bump first thing Friday night and tell him it’s open season. The rest of the weekend will take care of itself.

I think we have may the advantage in Game 3 due to our pitching depth. The other two are very much toss-ups.

Bednar-Nikhazy on Saturday will be a banger. MacLeod-Hoglund could be very good too, although both have a tendency to give up some homers so it could swing either direction if one guy is off. I’m curious to see what they do for Sunday starting, gotta think they change it up after today. Diamond has really had some issues for them recently.

Having a “Hate Ole Miss week” is about like having a “loves big titties week,” it’s just pretty much a given, no matter the season.

I just hope all the bad things in life happen to them and nobody but them.

Meh....we are going to run that guy early. He's no bednar.

The obvious thing to me is keeping the bats hot. Taking advantage of opportunities and making them pay for any mistakes. Production out of the bottom of the lineup will be crucial. Another big factor will be C Mac's breaking ball. If he is throwing it like he did against Kentucky and we score a couple runs here and there then bring in Sims, Friday night could be good for us. However if he gives up the long ball too often and is spiking the breaking ball more times than not then it will not be good (again obvious observations). Production from Skinner is another key factor. I am not so sure he will be successful against Nihkazy because he is a very good lefty with a breaking ball that is nasty, so we may want to start the Mule on Saturday but then again I am not the man writing the lineup. Fristoe will need to have a better outing than today and guys like Preston Johnson and Smith etc. will need to be sharp. I love the way we are playing right now and let's carry into this coming week! I won't make a prediction because every time i do or every time i bet on State that bite me. So there are Shadow's thoughts
