Butch Thompson is meeting with the media Wednesday afternoon to preview this weekend's final series of the regular season against Missouri. Click refresh, will continue to update...
** Wants team to prepare the best they can and be ready to fight for 27 outs. Doesn't want his players to do more, just the same and have the same mindset.
** Need to keep our at-bats disciplined. Need to hit the mitt on our pitches. That's what we've been working on last two days and will again today.
** Missouri is a hot team, won 5 of last 6 SEC games including sweep of UGA last weekend. I'm glad we're playing here. Another team that can hit with power.
** Kason Howell's leadership has been key. That's why the team didn't have a letdown at Ole Miss.
** Chase Allsup THU, Tommy Vail FRI and TBA SAT. Could go with Konner Copeland or Tanner Bauman SAT depending on if they need them THU/FRI.
** Christian Herberholz out this weekend and for SEC Tourney. Hoping to have him back for NCAA Regional.
** It's usually Howell, Bobby Peirce and Nate LaRue that speaks to the team after a game. When players are bought in and committed, you can build a great team. LaRue does a great job of handling a pitching staff.
** Ike Irish got off to an incredible start. Slowed down at start of SEC play. Last weekend was fun to watch. He doesn't give at-bats away. He competes, he's locked in. Awesome to talk about a freshman that's such a huge piece for now and in the future.
*****THAT'S ALL*****
