Having that good showing in the CWS isnt enough to make me forget all those awful outings he's had.

Also are you sticking by your claim that Zay was solid "all postseason"? I misremembered that he shite the bed against DBU and not USC (my bad). Doesn't take away the fact that it still happened when a lot was on the line and we needed a solid start.
Continue talking out of your arse...

It was the most notable recent occurrence. I'm not about to go look at every one of his starts last year. He sucked about 50% of the time, looked great half the time. No middle ground or usual consistency. Look if you're his kin, I can understand your undying devotion to him. Otherwise he has some serious flaws that you seem to have repressed.

quote:An outing in which he faced 3 batters and is pulled after giving up one run for a clear issue whether mechanical or physical issue does not negate literally every other start he made in the postseason. It was absolutely a solid postseason especially considering the competition faced.

quote:And you have to go back to April to find the next one. Thus my point. He became much less hit and miss at the end of the year. The only gripe toward the end of the season was his longevity (Which is why this 7 inning outing pleased me so much). When he was on the mound he was effective every start but two from May onward and the stats show that.

Bottom line is I have no idea how you can look at what Campbell has shown and say he can't be the ace.

If continues to work on hiding the ball out of the stretch he will be much better.

I think out of the stretch, he looks like a pitching machine coming over the top.
Visible earlier from a higher point but it might be nerves with runners on and trying to make the perfect pitch.

I wholeheartedly agree, I just wasn't sure if it had been a noted point of address by the coaching staff.

I dont think he's bad just not that consistent. To me that should be one of the top qualities of your ace.

That is pretty petty. So just because he has had bad outings in the past, means he isn't our ace now? This year the kid is good for 5-7 innings, 1.34 K's per inning, 1 walk per game, and winning. I don't think there is any argument to be had that he is not our staffs ace right now. Van Horn agrees, which is why he is the Friday starter.
Drew Smyly was not very good until he had a good run in the post season and took the mound in a meaningful game at Norman against OU and Arkansas eventually won the series. Bad outings didn't seem to hurt Smyly the following year.

To go back on my comment about LSU and them not having anyone looking like an SEC Ace...
Their Friday night guy Hess has poor numbers, especially compared to Campbell. So far this year Hess is sporting a 5+ ERA, 12.2 IP in 3 starts(4.06 innings per start), 13Ks, 8 BBs, and 2 hit batters. Opponents are hitting nearly .300 against Hess and he has given up 3 HRs.
Now you compare that to Campbell, 3.12 ERA, 17.1 IP in 3 starts(5.7 innings per start), 23Ks, 3 BBs, and 0 hit batters. Opponents are hitting .222 against Campbell and has given up 0 HRs.
As of now, Campbell has been more of a mainstay for his team on Friday nights so far. He is proving to be the teams ace, while LSU is definitely in search of an ace as their team ERA is now nearing 6.
I am not trying to argue and certainly understand wanting to hold on to past poor performances as a reasoning to knock on Campbell. You can also look at past stellar performances as reasoning to think he ends up being a high draft choice and ace of the staff.
I choose the latter simply because 3 weeks in, he has already shown more consistency than he did all of last season. He is now two years removed from injury and he is throwing very well. He has had great command of all of his pitches in all starts, which is a good sign.

LSU is full on meltdown in the 9th

LSU in meltdown mode is always entertaining. Posted on 3/3/19 at 4:15 pm to Razorback Reverend
Number 1 team my arse lol

I’m telling you guys...They have no lefties on staff. They have no resemblance of a staff ace. They currently have the worst pitching staff in the league, according to the league stats.
Their best pitcher is their closer, but he only comes in to close. So he is irrelevant. Their fielding is very suspect and outside of their top 4 holes in the order, they’re not very good.

Zay wasn't at 100% until the regionals last year. Dude played through pain most of last year.
He should be consistent this year as our Friday night guy.
He's the best we have right now so he's our ace.
DVH has to get the rest figured out, our BP is strong. We need another pitcher to step up and be THE guy on Saturday or Sunday.
Enjoy Zay this year because he'll get drafted.

I’d like to see Campbell, Kostyshock, Scroggins and bullpen.
I’ve really liked what Kostyshock has looked like so far. If he and Campbell keep it up we could have a pretty good 1-2 combo.
Noland I’m afraid will get hammered as a starter this year in SEC play. I think we benefit more by him coming out of the pen and helping on Sunday’s behind Scroggins.
Just my opinion

Would be a legit lineup, I'd like to see Kosty against better opposition. Scroggins can give us 3 solid.
BP will be very important to success or lack thereof this year.
Bring on the warmer temps. These 38 degree games at Baum suck!
