Good enough to have this team in 2nd place in conference.

What an odd thing to say about a guy who has had to take on the best DEs in the SEC and was damn successful at it.

Most of them don’t have soft spikes but rather a fully moulded sole that is shaped to grip. They are excellent shoes.
Recent Losses: In more recent years, the program has faced financial challenges. In 2020, the season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, with LSU playing only 17 games instead of the usual 60+. This led to a significant drop in ticket sales (from $2.64 million to $848,973) and a $1.92 million loss. In the 2023-24 fiscal year, the program recorded a deficit of $1.9 million, with $8.02 million in revenue and $9.99 million in expenses, despite strong revenue from ticket sales ($661,000 increase in 2023). This followed a near break-even performance in 2023 when LSU won the national championship.

• Context: The program’s expenses have risen significantly, reaching $9.9 million in 2023-24 compared to $5.9 million two years earlier, driven by costs like coaching salaries, recruiting, and facilities. Despite occasional deficits, LSU baseball remains a financial outlier in college baseball, where most programs lose money due to high costs (e.g., scholarships, travel, and equipment) and lower revenue compared to football or basketball.

Even if it’s in garbage time, you get him in for the excitement and butterflies. May not mean much to us this year but will for next year.
Aren’t they the lobbying arm of the industry?

Watch Thank You for Smoking. Great movie.

One of the best overall games we have played

Because their goal isn’t ratings.

This is a good first inning

Have been hard on Schmidt. But this is a good start.
That one guy for one year in the era of the hottest bats of all time who wasn’t great at defense?

What about him?

This year seems different. At one point it looked like we could have 6+ teams with 18 wins which used to be a lock for a national host. Now it looks like 12 or 13 wins could get you in if you don’t completely flub the last 3 weeks. The SEC currently has 13 teams getting in with State, USC, and that big12 team out.

Operation:

• The catcher (or coach, in some cases) presses buttons on the transmitter to select a pitch and location. For example, a combination might signal “slider, low and away.”

• The signal is sent via encrypted 915 MHz direct radio connection, ensuring security and reliability without relying on Wi-Fi or cellular networks, which can be unstable.

• The receivers instantly play the audio call in the players’ native language or a customized voice (e.g., a coach’s voice or even motivational phrases), programmed to avoid confusion.

• A cheat sheet on the transmitter’s wristguard helps new users, but experienced players often memorize the button combinations.

Do you know how it works?

re: "Knew what pitch was coming"

Posted by ell_13 on 4/28/25 at 10:44 am
Think of the ways a hitter would know the pitch and it’s one of them. Could be tipping, could be stealing (yes, still possible), could be us accidentally sending it to them via the com.
