the Texas pitcher tonight is supposed to throw a lot of sliders and changeups, not fast balls like last night. Is LSU better able to handle them now unlike earlier in the season?

 

no way. radar shows rain over omaha but nothing else except a few spotty showers over the rest of the state. that rain moves out and we are good to geaux.
