Still trying to figure out why I got obliterated by downvotes for starting a post to pass the time until first pitch

Too early to look at but based on Jay's comments and scrimmage performances: Arrambide at C, Serna at 1st/C/DH, Ruckert at SS, Pearson at 1st/3rd, Braun at RF/1B/DH, Patrick at CF, and Harden in LF (I think he's got another year)

This gives a good core of guys that will see some playing time this year in the field if we can keep them, but playing time next year will be an easy selling point

Then you have the four outstanding sophomores (to be juniors) on the mound in Evans Schmidt, Williams, and Rizy (could go to draft) along with Ricken, Paz, and Zion...... That's nasty

This requires a lot of them to go grow up, but I'd say that's not a bad outlook considering you can fill the gaps with the portal

You're one of that half

My point is you can't just say "oh we won't lose a series to xyz"

You're going to lose some that you'd expect to win and wine some you expect to lose.

The poster I responded to said we wouldn't drop a series to Vandy or Georgia, when in reality it's possible to drop any series along the way (except if you play SC or Mizzou)

Idk why you responded to that though. Unless your tigerbait2008's alter and you just outed yourself

I'm always a bit too optimistic. I said 20-10 last year, which was close, but on the high side. 17-19 wins I think is a good range of expectation for what we've seen so far

Good morning folks!

I started this thread last year and haven't seen anyone else do it yet. It's also Opening Week so let's go for it! Predict LSU's SEC regular season record this year

My take:

@ Vandy: 1-2
Vandy always plays well in the regular season and while LSU is talented and I think will be a top 3 team when it's all said and done, there's a lot of pieces that need to fall in place. Jay takes his time finalizing his lineup and rotation for a reason

vs Oklahoma: 3-0
I think the Sooners take a step back and LSU bats warm up a bit here at home

vs Kentucky: 2-1
Kentucky isn't as strong as they previously were, but have a smart coach and are always scrappy so they steal a game

@ Tennessee: 1-2
I do think LSU will be better than Tenner buy the end of the year, but @Tenn when they have something to prove without Vitello will be tough, LSU gets the last laugh later in the year though

@ Ole Piss: 3-0
Pissed off Tigers lay waste to little brother after dropping the Tenner series

vs TAMU: 2-1
Wanted to say this would be a sweep, but in reality this league is hard to do that and I've already predicted 2 of them. Aggies have a few veterans that will find a way to win 1

@ Miss St: 1-2
This one is tough. State has a lot of talent, but everyone is new including the HC. This will come down to the rubber match, but I think LSU falls on Sunday, but uses it a lesson later in the season

vs SC: 3-0
Paul gets a reminder of why he retired from coaching in that stadium. They just don't have the talent to compete with LSU on the road

@ Georgia: 1-2
This will depend on how much Wes can develop his pitching staff. Hard one to predict, but we drop 2 on the road to a Bulldog team starting to get its footing. TD panics, but Jay stays focused.

vs Florida: 2-1
LSU rights the ship to end the regular season, by taking a series from a stronger Gator team

End Result: 19-11, Top 8 National Seed


2025 Standings for Reference
Texas 22-8
Arkansas 20-10
LSU 19-11
Vanderbilt 19-11
Georgia 18-12
Auburn 17-13

Tennessee 16-14
Alabama 16-14
Flordia 15-15
Miss St 15-15
Oklahoma 14-16
Kentucky 13-17
TAMU 11-19
SC 6-24
Mizzou 3-27

Of course the first one of these I get to go to, it’s only goes 5, but it was a beautiful day for some free baseball

Arrambide had to start feeling less pain in that ankle after Serna dropped that bomb lol

He was forgotten about with the strong sophomore class and transfers, but he’s got talent. Just needs to put it all together. Good chance he does this year

Of course I say that right when a misfire happens lol
