Preview of Vol vs Tigers at 5:24 mark.
Yeah, I’m not sure these guys are completely on the mark. I don’t think The Box will be as big of a factor as they’re stating. LSU got run ruled by Northwestern St at The Box on Tuesday, which is a massive concern for me. Midweek games really don’t mean much, and CJJ was tinkering with the lineup, but dang. You don’t get run ruled at home by Northwestern State and think that everything is just fine. It’s not.
LSU has been absolutely atrocious in hitting with RISP the last two weeks. Anderson could throw the game of his life tonight, and still likely lose bc of hitting. I’m chalking tonight up as a win for the Vols. Doyle will be good as always, and the Vols will get the timely hits needed to win. Saturday is where I’m hoping LSU can pick up a win, but again, something is going to have to change with hitting if this is going to happen.
In a previous post, I stated I already chalked Sunday up as a win for the Vols. LSU has no pitching for Sundays. However, I’ve noticed that y’all have had Sunday pitching issues as well. Sunday could come down to who gets the timely hits, or if an unexpected pitcher shines that we haven’t seen yet this year.
My overall prediction: Likely a Vols sweep. But, I’m going to go with a 2-1 series win for the Vols, thinking that LSU will have some inspired hitting on either Saturday or Sunday.
Hope it’s a great series though my friends, and I’m looking forward to it! Best wishes to y'all, and safe travels to and from for all y'all attending the games!
