LSU vs. Texas, Game 1: Brief Preview and Open Thread
With Poseur's post about Talent vs. Magic, and the questions answered by Burnt Orange Nation, plus my answers to their questions, and Poseur's late evening rant, we're going to keep the formal preview brief. It's going to be ace against ace tonight as Louis Coleman will be on the mound for LSU and Chance Ruffin will be on the mound for the Longhorns. Both lead their respective teams in innings pitched, and both are right handers. Ruffin has an ERA of 3.27 on the season.
The big difference between Texas and a lot of the teams we've faced is that Texas does not share most other team's weakness in the middle relief areas. Most teams have solid starters and a solid closer, but Texas is solid all through their pitching staff. There's no sense in trying to jack up the starter's pitch count because the guy after him is just as good. Go up there aggressively and take your hacks.
When the game gets to the 7th inning, I would expect to see left-handed relief ace Austin Wood, who we may see for 2 or 3 innings in each game of the series.
I think we should go with our lefty-heavy lineup by shelving Sean Ochinko and bringing Leon Landry back into the lineup. We know that we aren't going to see a lot of left-handed pitching until Wood comes into the game, as few of Texas's relief pitchers other than him are lefties. Landry is an outstanding right-handed hitter and a tremendous defensive outfielder. Put him in the game.
On offense, look out for left handed power hitter Brandon Belt, who could give a guy like Coleman a lot of trouble.
Anyway, that is all for now. Treat this as your open thread.

WOW
Dude great write up!!!!! I could not have put it any better myself.
by Jason Davenport on Jun 22, 2009 1:38 PM CDT reply actions
Have any of yall been following Les's twitter on the sidebar -------------->
He’s the baseball team’s biggest chearleader! I love it!
Some quick keys to the series...
…as I rethink my bombast from yesterday abd I start to get nervous.
ONE. Getting it over in two. Texas’ clearest advanatge is in the quality of their third starter to LSU’s. LSU needs to put the foot on the throat and prevent Texas from ever having the pitching advantage.
TWO. Infield defense. As much bandwidth wasted on Austin Nola’s defense, the biggest gap in defense is from Hanover to Helenihi at third. If Texas decides to bunt like they usually do, Helenihi’s defense is critical, as he’ll be fielding most of those bunts. That’s another reason to put in Landry, to put Schimpf at first, who can act like s econd baseman on those bunts. Texas will give you outs, the key is taking them. Bunts for hits are killer.
THREE. Working counts. I know Richard says there is no benefit to getting to the pen, and Texas has a terrific and deep pen, but there’s still a reason those guys don’t start. Wood is still the man, but hitters can’t get frustrated against him. Conversely, Texas wants to get to our pen, which has improved by leaps and bounds over the past month and a half.
FOUR. Not listening to internet jackasses. Mainieri and Augie are two of the very best in the business. They don’t need or want our help.
Ready for baseball.
I’m a little nervous about this one, but I figure somebody needs to be.

Yeah this is just absolutely sad the way he’s mowing us down. On the bright side, when we’ve hit him (Schimpf and Mitchell) we’ve hit him HARD. Mitchell’s shot is a homer if it doesn’t go to dead center.

You can't even give credit to UT
They aren’t a HR team. It’s not like they are playing to their strength. This is a statistical anomaly really.
We could have brought in Cain.. Bradshaw.. Bertuccini
to face one guy. It’s not like we don’t have arms out there. Sticking with Coleman was a hideous decision.

The thing is, this was more of a must win for LSU IMO
We needed to win so that we could let Ranaudo rest and pitch on Wed.
I think we need to pitch Ross/Bradshaw..
Those guys will NEED to win a game either way. Let Ranaudo throw with rest.

you know, that DP's kind of on the shitty umpire
The strike zone is the strike zone because it represents what a batter can hit with the hope of some success. If you make a batter be responsible for a ball THAT low and outside, he’s not going to have much chance for a successful hit.
