LSU still has defensive woes and committed two more errors last night. The two errors along with 9 BB allowed New Orleans to defeat the Tigers in the midweek game 9 to 4.

Vols are in a different league from the rest of us. Dawgs tie up series with the Tigers in Baton Rouge. Awesome baseball complex that LSU has. Maybe some day in Athens.

Dawgs even up the series with the Tigers as they win 12 to 7 today. Tight ballgame but the Dawgs score 4 in the top of the 9th to ice the game. Winner tomorrow get the series win. And both teams are fighting to be in the top 4 of the SEC to get the first round bye in the SEC tourney.

It looked like the Dawgs had the series winner. LSU gave them the go ahead run with a hit batsman, a pickup throw into right field and Floyd the Georgia runner ended up on third. A long foul fly ball in deep left brought Floyd home and gave the Dawgs a 3 to 2 lead.
LSU had runners on first and second with two out in the bottom of the eighth and Dylan Crews at bat. He already had two sole dingers. He hit a laser into right center but the Georgia center fielder made a very good catch.
But in the bottom of the ninth the Tiger lead off batter Berry hit a single to left and Cade Doughty hit the second pitch deep into the left field bleachers for a walk off HR and the Tigers win 2 to 3 and the series win.
Way to Geaux Tigers.

TN flame thrower, Ben Joyce, hit 104mph today and threw the next pitch hit 105.
Some serious cheese.

Cade's HR went about midway into the left field bleachers. It was a no doubter. Cade has really improved his hitting this year. One of clutch hitters for the Tigers.

LSU wins over Nichols State last night 10 to 6. Josh Pearson a freshman hit two dingers and had 5 RBI. He could be the player to become an excellent hitter. Look for him to get more playing time.
LSU travels east to play Bama in the weekend series. Huge series for both teams. LSU wants to improve on their 12-9 SEC record and enhance their chances for a seed in the SEC tourney. Bama is 9-12 in SEC play and needs victories to improve their RPI and post season hopes.

Tennessee is the team that amazes me. They have come from out of no where to be one of the best teams in the nation. They are 19-2 in the SEC and 41-4 for the season.
They were an average team at best before they hired Tony Vitello in 2017. The Vols were 29-27 his first year in 2018 and have improved each year since then. In 2019 the Vols were 40-21 and 15-2 before the season was cancelled in 2020. Last year they were 50-18 and made it to the CWS.
What a turnaround for the Vols. This year they have great hitting and a couple of young pitchers that are off the chart. They broke the HR record for the team last night by hitting five HR's for their 108 homer of the season.
They have already clinched a super regional seed. It would take a complete collapse by losing the rest of the games this season. Not going to happen.
The big question - can they win the CWS this year. They have all the parts in place - just need to go out and do it.
Hats off to the Vols. One heck of a college baseball team.

LSU starts the weekend series off with a 6 to 5 win over Bama. They are now 13-9 in SEC play and 41-14 for the year. The Tigers got great relief pitching tonight holding Bama scoreless the last five innings.

Wow - Kentucky has defeated Tennessee to win the SEC series. They go for the sweep later today. Simply amazing. But that is why the games are played - on paper means nothing when the actual game is being played.

I think I heard the stat correctly yesterday, LSU starters, for the 3 game Bama series, went a combined 4 & 2/3 innings. Think gawd they have quality and depth in the bullpen.
Come post season, lack of any quality starters will catch up to them.

Come post season, lack of any quality starters will catch up to them. Two of them did not make it out of the first inning. Relief pitching has been one of the strong points along with hitting. Starting pitching and defense has been the weak points. And you are right about the starting pitching catching up with them in post season. Blake Money who started off the year pretty strong looked terrible in the Saturday game. But Coach Johnson doesn't waste any time in jerking a pitcher.

Are we really buying the Will Levis QB1 hype? And did Penn State choose wrong?
Texas A&M baseball has scrapped an upcoming opponent from its schedule over concerns of how the game may impact the Aggies' chances of hosting an NCAA Tournament regional. Texas A&M called off its home game slated against Incarnate Word for next Tuesday in what was set to be the final home game of the season for the Aggies, according to the Bryan-College Station (Texas) Eagle.
The cancelation was a mutually agreed upon decision, according to The Eagle. Texas A&M manager Jim Schlossnagle did not hide from the reasoning behind the decision either, acknowledging that playing the game would not necessarily be of benefit for the Aggies as they hope to check in as a regional host team once the NCAA Tournament arrives.
“I’m not going to hide from it,” Schlossnagle said, via The Eagle. “I think, when the NCAA committee puts such an emphasis on RPI and different things and then conference games matter so much, when you get to this time of the year you have to manage that.
“... I don’t like canceling the game. There’s a lot about canceling a game that can hurt you because you need to play and you need to develop pitching. But, given where we are in the season … and for where they are and what they are trying to do with their schedule, honestly, it didn’t make sense to play the game and part of me really hates it.”
Texas A&M is in its first season under Schossnagle, who guided TCU to five College World Series appearances in a decorated two-decade run in Fort Worth before jumping to College Station last offseason. The Aggies are an overall 30-16 with a 14-10 mark in SEC play, winning 12 of their last 16 games played.
Texas A&M is currently forecasted as the No. 9 national seed and checking in as a regional host, according to D1Baseball.com. With the Incarnate Word game now canceled, Texas A&M wraps up their home slate with a three-game series against Mississippi State this weekend before concluding the regular season at Ole Miss the following weekend.
The SEC Baseball Tournament begins May 24 in Hoover, Alabama.

Incarnate Word - Season Record. Overall 17-28; PCT .378; Conf 7-14; PCT .333; Streak L2; Home 14-7; Away 3-21.
It actually benefits Incarnate Word because they begin the Southland conference on the 19th - two days after they were scheduled to play the Aggies.
But if the Aggies had played and lost - their RPI would have dropped. RPI is part of the formula that determines who hosts in college baseball.
The Aggies currently have about a .584 RPI which puts them number 19 according to Boyd's World ratings. Incarnate Word has an RPI of .476 and rank 195 in the ratings. So a win by the Aggies probably would not improve their RPI and a loss might drop them a lot in RPI.
But if you have a scheduled game - play the darn thing.

This the next to last SEC weekend series. Tennessee looks unbeatable and will wrap up the number one seed for the SEC tourney. Arkansas is in second place with a two game lead over Texas A&M and LSU who are tied for fourth. But Auburn is only a game behind those two. Georgia and Vandy could make a seed if a couple of the teams don't do well in the last two SEC weekend series.
Georgia has already lost a game to Tennessee and behind in the second game of the series. Georgia has to win one game against Tennessee and and probably three in the last weekend.
Vandy is playing the Hogs this weekend and close with LSU. They probably need at least five wins and maybe six to get a SEC seed.
Also at stake is to get a seed in the NCAA tourney which begins the week after the next weekend series.
So some exciting college baseball will be played over the next two weeks. And into conference tourneys.
Great time of the year if one likes college baseball.

Tigers lose the suspended game to Ole Miss today 5 to 3. They play a second game in about an hour. Ole Miss pitching shut down the Tiger offense.
Second game looms big for both teams. Ole Miss fighting for a post season bid and LSU fighting for a host team.

Ole Miss is pounding LSU in the second game today 9 to 0. The twos woes of the season is haunting them in this game. Lack of pitching and defense. LSU has made two errors by Cade Doughty at second base. Right through his legs.
Maybe they can savage one game tomorrow. But right now it appears that they will lose both games today. Ole Miss already has one win and well on their way to the second one.

Tigers were in a position to secure a regional host, but that is history. It would take a sweep of Vandy in the last series and probably two wins in the SEC tourney. Don't see the Tigers being able to do that. But stranger things have happened.
Enteral hope.

LSU defeated Northwestern State 19 to 7 last night. LSU tied a national record as they had 10 batters hit by a pitch. And the game was called after 7 innings. LSU did not bat in the bottom of the 7th, so they had the 10 hit batter in only six at bats. Amazing.
The Tigers travel to Nashville to play Vandy in a very important weekend series for both teams. Vandy has been winning and LSU has been losing. So their fortunes are moving in opposite directions. LSU needs to win one game to get to a 15-15 SEC record. And to think before last weekends series with Ole Miss - there had been talk of hosting a regional and maybe with a series win over the Rebels - a national seed. No more.
