re: LSU Marble Game History

I've been following baseball for 35 years and never heard this term.


In the 6 team regionals, it was the game where the last two undefeated teams met, both at 2-0. Winner to the championship round, and loser to the loser's bracket.

In the 4 team regionals it's the 1-0 game.

In Omaha, with 2 separate 4 team brackets, it's the 1-0 game.

Jared Jones is 3rd all time in home runs at LSU. No one has hit more homers in 3 seasons than him. He’s not coming out of the lineup.

It has to be Evans in g3 either way. Or at least Shores.


When is Jay Johnson's history at LSU has he gone all in with his pitching selections when being in the position where he has to be beaten twice?

If Evans and Shores are needed on Monday they will pitch. If LSU is 2-0 on Wednesday those two may get the day off.

Doesn't matter who starts for UCLA. They only use their starters for 3-4 innings then they turn it over to their bullpen. The bullpen is their strength.

You haven't followed DVH's career have you?

Boat, I don't think Root gets to Wednesday. I think he starts on Tuesday.

He just admitted that he conceded the game in the 2nd inning.


He didn't concede the game. He thought the at bat to Ethan Frey could have ended the game. So he brought in a righty to get that out. They held LSU scoreless from the time he made that pitching change until the 8th inning.
If LSU is playing on Thursday, he is starting.

re: VAN Horn gave us this one.

Van Horn kept them in the game with the gutsy move to pull his All SEC pitcher who has an ERA under 2.00 since May and held LSU to 3 runs until the 8th inning.

I'm not sure about some of his moves from the 8th inning on (pitching to Curiel) but he was proven right that Arkansas couldn't afford to give up another run and that at bat to Frey in the 2nd inning was very important.

It’s funny how collectively smart people think they are here. It’s really just group think that’s afraid to hear outside opinions. But Jay warmed up Eyanson so it’s a genius move after they hated it 5 seconds earlier.


A whole lot of "group think" in here. Two year ago the Rant was 90/10 against starting your ace in Game 1 of a regional against a 4 seed and now it's about 40/60 because Jay will always start his ace. (or his 1B in Eyanson)

So Shores or Evans could pitch again Monday, or Evans is ready to go 6 in game 3. Actually why am I even trying to math this out, Jay knows what he's doing.


Quit trying to save guys. You 100% pitch Evans in Game 2 if you can slam the door and get another win.
