Think we are better served starting Evans and keeping AE/KA for the second and third games.
That will really mess up your starting pitching for a super regional and that will be the reason he does not do that. There is a chance of having a Thursday-Saturday super regional and if you hold both of them back then that would put them with 2 days short of rest.

Larson is simply better than those two and he is starting to turn it on.
Larson has a quad injury and can't really run at full speed right now. I don't think he will be a DH until he can get that healed up enough to be able to run normal. He will continue to PH in certain spots and get to first then get pinch ran for until he is healed up.
I'd like to see John Pearson get more ABs if Frey continues to struggle in the RH DH opportunities. Frey is 4/30 in his last 3 SEC weekends.

Kade Anderson is a sophomore, but I do not know if he is draft-eligible. If he is I would expect him to be drafted at a place where he may go.
He is a draft eligible sophomore and likely will be a top 15-20 pick I would think.

Most trust CJJ, just worried about how it will affect the long season/post season. It's a legit thing to be concerned about considering the rise of TJ surgery
It was 1 game. No reason for concern unless you see him get stretched out that much every week which will likely not happen. His velo was only down 2-3 mph in that last inning and his breaking stuff was still pretty sharp. No need for concern.

Jack Daniel, I’m not taking away anything. If LSU rotates Cowan into starting role then Shores would be a great bullpen option. No takeaway in that equation.
Just my opinion but I think Cowan is more effective coming in after Anderson because of the difference in what you see from each. Anderson throwing mid 90s left side with the offspeed he has then going to Cowan 90-92 with the nasty changeup and capable of throwing a 3rd pitch for strikes also. I just think that makes Cowan that much better to have the hitters see something completely different from the first 5-7 innings. Especially on game 1s when the score will likely be close.

A good pitching coach would’ve revamped his mechanics.
He has had 2 of the better pitching coaches in the game in Mike Silva and now Yeskie. I know many people on here don't think Yeskie is a good pitching coach (completely disagree and if you listen to the pitchers talk about him they like him and trust him), but it isn't a coaching problem.
re: When Gavin Guidry returns, do y'all think we may see Cowan make a move to weekend starter?

"Scout buddy" with the real obvious info there.
I think you have to give the starting rotation another 3 weeks to get it figured out before thinking of moving anyone from the pen as a starter. After another 3 weeks if Shores is struggling to get through 4 then I think you have to entertain Cowan as a starter.

I could be wrong but I had thought in baseball you had to pre-determine your redshirts prior to the start of the season
The guys you see pre determined as redshirts are the guys that are not on the roster for the season due to roster size limit. This year the roster limit was met when Deven Sheerin got injured. That got the roster number to 40 so nobody else needed to pre determine a redshirt to make the roster limit.
Guys that do not play at all even though on the roster can and will get a redshirt.
re: Reaves is your starting 3B
Posted by BayTiger13 on 3/17/25 at 4:17 pm
The team has shown that they can score in many different ways with many different players.
I'd argue that minimizing defensive mistakes to help out the pitchers will be more important to this team than scoring runs when it comes specifically to usage of Braswell/Reaves. This lineup will score runs more times than not with Reaves or Braswell at 3B, but Braswell is the better defensive option.

Why would Reaves come in as soon as a RHP comes in if the team has the lead and Braswell is better defensively?
re: Too many walks
Posted by BayTiger13 on 3/12/25 at 8:11 am
Most of the pitchers that have stepped up and will pitch on weekends are doing just fine with the walks. The ones who are walking a lot of people will not be put in the pressure situation on a weekend game until they can figure it out.
The starters and top relievers have done really well limiting the walks.

That’s right. So a freshman who was playing high school last year is better than a JUCO all American catcher.
Got it.
Promises were made again. Brady Neal 2.0
You obviously didn't make it out to any fall or spring scrimmages. The JUCO all american you speak of had multiple scrimmages that was similar to the freshman catchers game last night. Catcher position was a big ? coming into the season. For anyone who follows LSU baseball the struggles behind the plate shouldn't be a surprise. Just have to hope that with more in game reps they continue to improve and develop.

Jay says Pearson handles lefties better than the other 2 and Frey is RH. That and it being early in the season with an open RF/DH competition is the reason. Not sure why some people are so upset about it after 3 games.

Mayers is Thatcher Hurd 2.0. Great to have him on the team for the potential but the consistency has not shown up yet compared to the stuff.
re: Opening Day Lineup Predictions
Posted by BayTiger13 on 2/12/25 at 10:43 am
My guess based on scrimmages and a little of my opinion would be:
1. Stanfield - CF
2. Curiel - LF
3. Jones - 1B
4. Brown - RF
5. Dickinson - 2B
6. Milam - SS
7. Hernandez - C
8. Pearson/Larson - DH
9. Braswell - 3B
This is what I posted yesterday in the thread up top. I think Brown and Milam are interchangeable in this lineup to flip flop. Whoever is the hotter hitter will be protecting Jones throughout the season. If neither can provide that protection it will be very interesting to see who steps up to do that.

I could see that, but I would flip Brown and Milam based on what I saw at scrimmages.
I agree that those 2 are interchangeable in that lineup. Can really just take whichever one is hotter at the moment to keep someone behind Jones who is hitting to protect him.

Unfortunately for Milam, him batting 6th eliminates the possibility of him big a star.
That prediction is strictly based on opening night.
I think it is very possible for Milam to hit in the 2 hole with Curiel leading off if Stanfield struggles or even Milam hitting 4th behind Jones if Brown struggles and Milam is hot.
Milam is one of those guys you can see used in many different spots in the lineup.

6 of the 10 scrimmages Stanfield has led off and 7 of 10 Curiel was in the 2 hole with 4 of the last 5 scrimmages having Stanfield then Curiel. Apparently Jay sees something with that being the 1 and 2 in the lineup. 8 of the 10 scrimmages Jones was in the 3 hole. 4 hole has been much more of a shake up to see who can protect Jones.
My guess based on scrimmages and a little of my opinion would be:
1. Stanfield - CF
2. Curiel - LF
3. Jones - 1B
4. Brown - RF
5. Dickinson - 2B
