PP7 for heisman

quote:

---

Ohh qualified, huh

---

do you not know what a qualified hitter is? Okay I’m going to change the list. Dalton Beck has the top BA in the conference - .500 hitter.

quote:

---

Yeah Stanfield is clearly better than Kilen and Fischer Probably in the running for 1-1 in the MLB Draft. GOAT 9-hole hitter

---

70% of the way through conference play and Chris Stanfield had a better batting average than either of them. You asked a question and I answered it. Sorry you didn’t like the answer. Go let Jay know that he needs to take Stanfield out of the lineup because the scouts don’t like him.

quote:

---

But this is true

---

But Tennessee has played worse teams, and still has put up worse numbers.

quote:

---

How many every day starters are hitting .300 or better in SEC play?

---

4 qualified starters.

Tennesee has 3 qualified starters, and I'll even give you Kilen despite the fact that he's missed half the season.

So the same as Tennessee, but technically more. Of the two teams, here are where they stack up

1. Stanfield .352 (LSU)
2. Curiel .345 (LSU)
3. Dickinson .312 (LSU)
4. Ensley .310 (Tenn)
5. Bargo .306 (Tenn)
6. Fischer .304 (Tenn)
7. Braswell .302 (LSU)

Kilen would slide in at 3rd at .333 if he was qualified, but those numbers would obviously go down and be somewhere between Bargo and Dickinson.

So, once again dispelling another one of your false narratives. The best statistical bats on LSU's team actually perform better than Tennessee's "studs."

quote:

---

That was definitely mind blowing. Tony is a good coach for sure, but damn I have no idea what he was trying to do there.

---

I think he got frustrated that the lefty gave up a hit to Curiel because he had been lights out against them all year.

He put Jones on and then decided to make the call. Very weird and a pretty dumb decision. Not only did you go away from L/L, you burned another pitcher.

quote:

---

You mean like put Jared Jones in at 3B?

---

He's done this twice when going offense first when down in a game and a third time to start a midweek, but you knew that.

He's taken out Arrambide, Frey, and Reaves for defensive replacements up late in games. Again, you know that.

quote:

---

The King of Whiff? No real team is scared of Jones. He made a lucky swing. Happens.

---

This is dumb and just not true. He's got as much power as anyone in America. He has shown up in big time moments throughout the year.

quote:

---

That’s Jay Ball. Win or die by homers.

---

Except that's not true either. LSU is 2nd in the conference in doubles, 5th in HR, 2nd in BA, and 3rd in runs. They have manufactured runs all year outside of the Auburn series.

quote:

---

Who said I watched half the series?

JAKE BROWN SUCKS IN THE 3-HOLE

---

You seem to discount any part of the weekend where LSU played well and then somehow "missed" all of LSU's production on Sunday. If you didn't watch the games, stop fricking commenting on the games and the box score.

quote:

---

to them have a guy boot a couple balls

---

LSU's coach would have subbed out the team leader in errors in the bottom of the 9th up 3. LSU's coach doesn't pitch to Jared Jones there.

quote:

---

1:20am in the bottom of the 9th.

---

Stop.

quote:

---

I didn’t see that but admittedly I didn’t get to watch every pitch Sunday.

---

Lmao so you're evaluating two teams based off of half of a series?

quote:

---

Is that mismanagement? I thought they looked like the better team for the first 17 out of 18 innings of that series when it was best on best. You’re free to disagree.

---

Jay had LSU in a position pitching wise to win the series. Tony didn't. He had the blunder in game 1 that should have resulted in forcing another change as well. He was rattled and it showed, especially on Sunday. Pulling the starter to let Curiel face a lefty, pulling the lefty to intentionally walk jones, then having a righty face Brown was bad. That was their lefty specialist.

Instead he put in his best freshman and LSU knocked him around. Meanwhile, LSU's best freshman shut their offense down.

quote:

---

I didn’t see this. He was 4-for-12. 2-for-8 Fri/Sat

I wouldn’t classify that as going crazy

---

He had the only hit off of Doyle, walked them off, and reached base 3 times on Friday.

He then went 2-4 again on sunday, reaching base 3 more times. Including inducing a pitching change and drawing an intentional walk. That's a great weekend in the SEC.

Context matters, remember?

quote:

---

So you think Auburn is better than LSU and Butch Thompson is better than Jay?

Noted lol

---

Nah, context matters. Kade Anderson gave up a routine fly ball that resulted in a 3 run triple, and a 5 run inning, because Auburn is 380 to dead center. LSU hit the ball hard all weekend right at people. shite happens.

quote:

---

I’ve already told you Tennessee is better in my opinion

---

I can say the stuff about Auburn toungue in cheek because LSU is a better team than Auburn, has a better record than Auburn, and has better numbers than Auburn. The same can be said for LSU about Tennessee, despite playing a harder schedule than Tennessee. Nothing supports your position that Tennessee is the better team, besides MLB draft rankings and home runs in small ball parks.

quote:

---

Remember, they dominated the first two games.

---

Only if you make up stats in your head.

quote:

---

The starting pitching and hitting.

---

Then why didn't their starters go 9 and finish the game off? Surely Tony would've been prepared to use his bullpen, something every team in the history of the sport has had to do? Ohhh wait LSU knocked his 3rd best pitcher around on Friday, then his 4th, 5th, and 6th best pitchers on Sunday.

Tony's crew couldn't touch LSU's #1, #3, or 4. They got 2 runs on the #2 - same as LSU on Tenn's #2.

quote:

---

Context matters. I'd give you a genuine answer if that happens. Let's see what it looks like.

---

No, it doesn't. Why are we still waiting and seeing? I asked you to give me an answer. We waited and saw this weekend what happened between Jay and Tony. Tony made multiple incorrect decisions that cost his team the series. I can't even imagine what you'd be saying if Jay did what Tony did with the mound visits.

quote:

---

And, yes, I do believe Tony is the better coach. Honestly, I see no real genius in Jay. At least Tony gets his dudes to play with confidence. Both are recruiters above anything, which alone probably makes them both top-level coaches in this sport

---

I think Tony is a great coach. I don't see the "genius" you see. His players don't play with confidence, they play like bitches. They constantly whine and complain and bitch and moan at every little thing. This weekend was no different. Jared Jones had been playing like shite for 3 weeks, then went crazy this weekend. LSU let a game go on Saturday night and came back the next day and whipped the floor with Tenn. That's confidence.

Yelling at umpires and getting students ejected is not playing with confidence. It's playing like a bitch. Something that has been constant through Tony's tenure.

Genuine question

Pretend LSU and Tennessee remain constructed 100% as is for the remainder of the season. LSU hosts, Tennessee travels for a super. LSU wins a title. Tennessee gets knocked out in their super.

What is your take? Who would be the better team? Who would be the better coach?

LSU has a better SOS than Tennessee. LSU has a better opponent win percentage than Tennessee. LSU has a higher RPI. LSU has a higher ELO. Tennessee actually has a harder predicted SOS, meaning LSU has already played a harder schedule and Tennessee is just reaching the difficult part of their schedule.

Also, why are you ignoring the litany of other statistics where LSU has the advantage. Tennessee has more home runs because they play in a high school stadium. On a level playing field this weekend. LSU hit 7 to Tennessees 1. They MIGHT have added 1 more if playing at home, whereas LSU probably adds 3-4 in LNS.
