Was it wrong or did somebody just drop some news they were supposed to hold onto?!

100%. The only thing that could derail that Texas matchup though is like everyone said, what happens if one team or both teams aren’t living up to their potential. Does that matchup have the same luster if both teams are two loss teams at that point? The opener is guaranteed to be a hell of an atmosphere barring a monsoon. The TX game has a few more variables.

It’s all about projectability. When MLB teams see a high school aged kid built like a damn tank and hitting elite level EVs, they’re going by to be salivating and I’m sure someone is going to pay him. I think it’s truly hard to gauge baseball NIL because nobody talks about it as openly as they do with football, but it’s probably somewhat difficult for baseball to fork out the 750k+ it would take to get that kid to campus.

While I don’t doubt they still end up with a good class, there are 18 uncommitted top 100 prospects according to on3 and they currently lead for 1 of them. So for their class to make a sizable jump they’re going to need to flip a few guys. In the NIL era, it can still be done but guys are committing earlier and earlier every year and I would guess there’s more than a little concern in that building right now from a recruiting standpoint

Last years Champion and last years #1 overall seed not making the tournament will be wild

You referring to the guy who became an NFL head coach this year?!

Feel like this is the only right answer here. Very very few times in his time at LSU has Curiel looked basically lost at the plate and that FB slung right past him. Arrambide did the same thing a few weeks back. Expecting breaking ball and watched a middle middle FB

Eh you have to remember who is coming back next year(barring transfer portal). Evans, Schmidt, and Moore will all be back. Evans won’t go back to the pen in his money year. Not to mention the emergence of Paz

So let me get this straight, you want this team to put together that kind of stretch after going 0-9 in its last 3 weekends?! Keep in mind the last 3 losses were about as demoralizing as it comes. Also, understand you are asking a pitching staff, that will more than likely be missing 2/3 starters, to lock down the school with the highest batting average in the conference. Oh yeah and they have 30 more HRs than the next closest SEC team. They showed enough offensively this weekend against great pitching that i think they can stay in games. However, if they dont have a 16-2 lead going into the 7th, high likelihood they blow it.

I don’t often get truly pissed watching this team, but the decision to pinch hit a guy batting .143 with what 15 ABs all season, for a guy who hit a bomb in the game already and has come through in multiple spots this year, that is mind blowing

Done for the year with broken hamate according to the bald one
