NCAA Houston Regional Championship - Louisiana vs Rice (Game 6)

[GreatestStory]

I'll say this. Lange and Poche' don't scare me at all.

Poche isn't meant to be scary, he is a ground ball pitcher.

Both Poche and Lange have 97 innings pitched, Lange has 110 strikeouts to Poche's 62.

In the times I've seen Lange pitch, his control is underwhelming.

Well the rule is that they must give at least 600..they could give more, but they would be stupid if they did.

This should about cover it...

We will need a lot more out of our bats, especially more out of the too of the lineup.

The bottom of the line-up carried the regional. BT on down will be heard from this weekend.

-----Just wondering if we are better than LSU at any positions??? If we aren't than I know we are close to their abilities like Trahan at SS---Surely last year we had some positions where we had better players!! Just wondering since I don't know anything other than the CF for LSU from Lafayette!!!

I can tell you this: Trahan is expected to be drafted as a MLB shortstop, while Alex Bregman is projected as a MLB prospect at 2nd.

I'm not saying Trahan is better, because offense is obviously not factored into that statement, but Trahan seems to exhibit something Bregman does not as a position player.

No doubt. I think we can keep LSU's offense in check with our pitching but I think we can bank on them scoring more runs than Rice or UH with their offense. That said, I really liked our approach at the plate this weekend. If we can carry that into next weekend and get Trahan and Trosclair back in this mix, there's no question this is a winnable series

How about time coach Robe get paid what he's worth

I completely agree.....this is no longer a rebuilding year ...today it because a reloading year....what a fantastic job by Robe and his Staff

They are obviously top quality college MIFs. Many expect both to play MLB for years.

Rice & Houston pitching > LSU pitching

Umm...I'm going to disagree greatly. We're in for a very tough matchup. Our guys are going up against the #2 seeded overall team in the country.

Not saying the upset can't be done. I wouldn't put anything past this team. What was supposed to be a rebuilding year with a bunch of youngsters, as evidenced by very inconsistent regular season play, has turned into this team getting at least just as far as last year's awesome team.

We're playing with House Money, gentlemen. We have been pretty much this whole Regional tournament. Our guys should go into the games this weekend relaxed, no pressure.

Cajuns are 6-0 all-time in Houston baseball regionals (1999 and 2015 regional champions).

3-0 vs. Houston
2-0 vs. Rice
1-0 vs. Texas

… with a couple of those games in '99 being beat downs (Texas and Houston).

Very impressive stat.
