Talked to death yet started another thread about it?

In my opinion, the only way his seat gets remotely warm next year is if we don't show any improvement in the biggest areas of concern from this season.

- If he whiffs on every portal addition.
- If our team defense remains little league caliber.
- If our bullpen is incapable of throwing strikes.

To me, it's not the losses but more how we are losing. The SEC is absolutely brutal, so losing games is inevitable. The way we are losing this year is concerning.
Yes, 12...it's Friday, my brain is drained at the moment.
Don't get too excited, Pirate King isn't sure his Big 12 experience will translate to the SEC game.

MLB draft is not like the NFL or NBA where they are looking to draft to plug holes or filling needs. It's all about best player available and scouting projections, cost and sign-ability.

do all this with a sense of urgency


I'm asking because I honestly don't know the answer. After the completion of an AB, when does the next batter's pitch clock start? To me that could be an easy fix. Start the clock the second the ball is back in the pitcher's hand. If the runner isn't on the bag ready to play by a certain time (similar to the batter not being in the box), then charge a strike.
Really like Braun at 1st, but I think the best scenario to get him, Serna, and Arrambide on defense all at the same time would be putting him in the outfield.

I think it's doubtful Milam returns. I just don't see his stock rising much next year, so unless he just loves the college game that much and CJJ throws a decent bag at him, he's gone.

I’m a little conSerna’d about this lineup!
If it's not Shane Youman, I'm not watching!
Was this the “surprise visitor” we got this weekend?
I promise you I'm not looking for a "gotcha" moment or anything, but even this says, "expected to commit". Not a done deal yet, so my streamers and confetti will stay loaded.

Keep doing what you're doing friend. I appreciate the information and enthusiasm.

And $7 million??? Holy cow!! Hope he's worth that price tag.
This kid definitely doesn't play stationary or stagnant. I love his speed and motor from these highlights.
So it's "close to done", not done. Hope the ink dries soon and we lock him in.

Really not trying to be negative or contrarian here, I just like all my ducks in a row before I celebrate.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but where other than just your word can we confirm this?

Pitchers- the entire starting rotation SHOULD be back- along with a lot of talented bullpen guys- could have the best staff in the country, or the could fall flat on their faces again….


Crazy how development works in college baseball, especially in pitching. This could statistically be the worst pitching staff at LSU in my lifetime. Yet, the statement above is also true.
quote:

ETA: I'd prefer to not see Fontenot, Lachenmayer, Paz, or Garcia tonight. We need other pitchers to figure some shite out and let these guys extend on the weekends.


Ricken is the guy for me that could be a huge piece of the bullpen if he can somehow take that next step.
8 BB
3 HBP
2 Errors

LSU wins 13-10
Sure it's "reachable" on paper.

Nothing about the pitching staff makes this scenario "realistic"
Unless they just absolutely love college that much, no.
Wilson is basically our 5th round pick. If we can get him to be a servicable rotational piece, how is that a loss?

They could definitely have the best 4x100 team in the league.
