re: LSU 6 @ Oklahoma 2 Final

4 runs up. I wish we had someone else we trusted enough to bring this home so Sheerin’s pitch count stays low enough to pitch tomorrow
quote:

Braun strike mean the zone is below his knees with the box they had.


Strike zone starts at the bottom of the knee. Any part of the ball crossing in the zone is a strike. So a ball that is low enough to barely have the top of it at the bottom of the knee is a strike. Braun’s pitch was a strike all day. I knew that challenge was lost as zone as he did it.

As someone else mentioned, the ABS starts at 23% of the batters height and stops at 58% of their height. All players had to have their height certified before the tournament.

quote:

The zone is a two-dimensional rectangle measuring 19 inches wide, accounting for the width of home plate and the black borders on each side. Vertically, the zone is based on player height. The upper boundary is set at 58% of a hitter’s measured height while the bottom boundary is set at 23%. As such, every player on a team’s roster, including pitchers, must undergo an SEC-administered height certification process before the tournament.

I’m pretty sure Sheerin’s T levels are so high that he’s raising our level watching him.

Do not like that wrap on Sernas hand one bit


On the bright side, his fingers weren’t taped or in a splint. And he was slightly moving them.

Doesn’t look like anything is broke but Serna had a bandage visible.

He ain’t broke. Bandage over his hand.

That’s not accurate. The zone is 19” wide. 17” of white plus the black.

I feel like everyone else practiced what to challenge except us.

Wish we would have challenged Braun at 2B

I like this Guidry - can we keep it for four moar innings please?


Let’s not push our luck. Guidry has only had 1 outing this year against a decent opponent where he’s made it over 3 innings successfully.

re: Process for exchanging tickets

A season ticket holder can transfer those to you. However, that can’t be done until LSU releases the tickets to our accounts. I can’t recall the football timeline, but I think baseball tix were released less than two weeks before the season this year.

The financial portion of the transaction has to be done outside of that. Ticket holders pay long before they get their tix.

Geauxldilocks can still frick off. But last year we had 7, not 9. Curiel & Anderson got multiple awards.

The crazy part for me is that we went from 4 pitchers to 0 despite 2 of them returning this year.

While I completely disagree with op, I also can not stand when people ask this. Sometimes ADs hire search firms to find coaches. And a casual fan is supposed to know who is available, willing, and capable. Absurd.


What’s absurd is thinking there is a better hire available than a young guy with two rings who is already here. Any search firm would tell you that you have the best available.

The coaching job this year sucks. There is no arguing that. But Jay is the most capable person of fixing it.
Anderson‘s development last year was insanely impressive. The problem is that it is the exception lately. We had 10 returning pitchers this year. Two of them look better than they did a year ago. People keep blaming the portal. We did not develop the talent that we had returning.

People keep crediting Yeskie for Shores development … The best Shores ever looked here was his freshman year before the injury.

There have been many players that have developed under Jay. The problem is very few improved from last year to this year. Whatever they did in the off-season, did not work. This team did not gel and improve as the previous teams have all done (even 2024 got better).

There just wasn't enough talent on the roster to compete in the modern day era of SEC baseball.


Win it? No

Compete? There absolutely was enough talent to be better than 9-21.

This team doesn't deserve to wear championship gold.


frick off with this dumb shite. We are all disappointed with this season, but it's senior day. Cowan, Stanfield, Reaves, Fontenot, and Benge won a natty. We don't win that last year without Cowan and Stanfield. Reaves & Benge were also contributors throughout the season. And when most of out returning pitchers have somehow gotten worse, Fontenot is probably the one who has improved the most from working his arse off.

So, how about showing a little respect to the guys being honored today?

Maybe he could rebuild a local park or gym or resurface some streets in his home town instead?


Queen already does that stuff, too. Maybe we just appreciate someone who does way more for others than anyone requires of him.

None of the rest, save for maybe 1 or 2, can pitch at this level. They are not LSU or SEC caliber arms.


Could you please explain how some of those arms were SEC caliber last year, but they somehow have less talent this year and need to be processed?

This team has issues, but the talent level is better than their performance. Development did not happen this year. If it were 1-2 guys that fell off, your argument would hold water. But of the 10 returning pitchers, we have two that look better than they did before. That a program-wide failure. Jay will fix it, but I think it's hilarious that we had guys contribute to a natty, but the following year their stats plummet, and the talent level gets the blame.
