While this is usually the prevailing thought, it goes the other way too if they actually called pitches where they cross the plate


If you think CB Bucknor got put on blast, some of these SEC umpires would quit mid game.

I said sec .


You said college baseball:

College baseball needs this change


Right there in the title of the thread.

And this is the whole OP:

quote:

MLB has a system where a catcher or pitcher can challenge a pitch. it takes may 5 seconds to do. Each team has 2 challenges. College ball really needs it


No mention of the SEC.

Who is going to pay for the technology required to make that system work?

Nick, do you pay attention


could have stopped here
Should you frick off and stop starting a new thread for every retarded idea that pops into your concave skull?

Unfortunately, this surprise didn't play to our favor but it's water under the bridge.


Hurt Stanfield is better than 100% Larson in left field.
quote:

There are some advanced stats out there for this i know, but i do wonder if the better offense over Milam is a net positive over the worse fielding.



On this specific team, the tradeoff wouldn't be worth it.

quote:

Reality is Ryan would probably just be starting 2B here this year anyways


Agreed, but apparently he wanted to play SS. Him and Costello bounced before we even had any portal targets (officially).
quote:

Will feel the loss of Ryan
Could have used him especially if Milam goes pro


We would feel the loss of Milam more if Ryan were still here.

Ryan is fielding .930 at shortstop for NC State. He has 6 more errors in about 40 fewer chances.

Could you imagine him as the shortstop on this team?
quote:

There are some real misses in evaluation there.


Yep, there are a lot of guys on the list that never had any business being on LSU's roster.
quote:

He'd be the best player on the team right now lol


Nope. Still a count.
I think at this point, that decision would be completely his. He'd be a 5th year senior and likely a DSA, so he wouldn't count against the 34 man limit. If he graduates and determines he'd like to drop down to a lower conference to finish his career and potentially see more time on the mound, I could see it.

But I could also see him back on the roster next year.
Riley Cooper has re-signed with the Orioles.
quote:

He's not wrong that I think a lot of decisions will have to be made on guys still.


In the context of this thread (fielding), I'm talking about position players. Caraway is the only fringe guy in that category. The others are freshmen or have shown enough that they won't be pushed out. You could consider Harden as fringe, but with the veteran outfield he hasn't really had a chance to show one way or the other.
quote:

And there’s a bunch who will have eligibility who will be told to leave because they are busts who JJ missed in his evaluations.


When you remove the seniors and draft eligible players, there aren't a bunch of guys left at all.

I'm not sugarcoating anything. If you're labeling objective facts as sugarcoating, you need to evaluate your outlook.

You're being overly negative because you're a drama queen little bitch who doesn't have two brain cells to rub together and it's easier to complain than it is to actually observe and evaluate.
quote:

Next years team will look very different. I dont know many players who will be retained


There was going to be a bunch of turnover regardless, you don't have to frame it as "not being retained". That's what happens when you have a bunch of guys running out of eligibility or are going to be drafted.
quote:

13-17 going into SEC tournament, win a few in the tournament and make a regional as a 2 seed out west.


I think that would put us as a 3 seed unless by "few" you meant 3 tournament wins. I think 16 SEC wins (including tournament) could get us a 2 seed.
quote:

3yr year - didn’t happen left as draft eligible sophomore


No. He transferred to Kent St and recovered from surgery during the year he had to sit out. He was then drafted after that year despite not pitching.
quote:

Yeah, but I did think our pen would be way deeper/better than it has been.


Hard agree.
