re: You do not send milam home!

You have him going at full speed while watching the throw from the outfiedl.
When you see the good throw to the relay man, you put up the brakes.
At this point Milan is just rounding 3rd as the relay man is about to catch the throw. It was a very easy relay throw to get him out at home by 20 feet.

re: Eyanson has quietly become our best pitcher

It's an amazing improvement we have seen as the season as went on.
He has always had good stuff, but always had a bad inning thrown in with 4-5 dominate innings. The last several weeks he has eliminated that bad inning and has become very relieable starter going deep in every start.

re: We need to have a Curiel vs. freshman Crews discussion

As great as Crews was as a freshman, the most amazing thing about him to me is that he got significantly better offensively and defensively every year.
You just don't see you best player from the previous years team, also the most improved player.

Top player have the majority of their money coming from direct deals with national companies/brands that would stay with them if they go to the WNBA. They money they lose would be from local companies and collectives with are tied in with the player being at LSU. Johnson has both and I'm sure the majority of her money is coming from brands that would stay with her, ie her shoe deal. I'm sure she has a good amount of money coming from G, Cane's and other. The decision is if that money can be replaced
re: Anybody excited to see Van Lith reunite with Angel girl?
Posted by TigerDM on 4/17/25 at 9:56 am
It depends if they understand how to best use HVL. She is a very good catch and shoot, but will struggle to create a shot against a good defender and she cannot guard a quick player as showed against Texas

We don’t hear much of anything about how good Joyce Walker was.
She was one of the few players from that era that was athletic enough to play in today’s game. It’s tough to name an all time five once you get past Augustus and Fowler. There’s about 10 players that you could easily justify for those 3 spot, depending on your style of play

re: Walker Howard biggest QB bust out of high school the last 20 years?
Posted by TigerDM on 4/8/25 at 8:26 pm
Just take a look at the Elite 11 website and past participants.
It shows you how overated many QB's were. They vast majority
of participants didn't come anywhere near their projections.

Half way through the first rotation, I knew that 2 of the sec teams were in trouble, just glad it wasn’t the us. Michigan st did very basic, low difficulty routines and stuck landing. Ky and AR did so much more difficult routines and did them well, but couldn’t overcome them keeping a sec out
re: Hailey Van Lith
Posted by TigerDM on 3/27/25 at 5:33 am
HVL needed to be in top shape to keep up with SEC players. She had planter fasciitis in December and that really hurt her conditioning. She never seemed to get to where she needed to be. She couldn’t keep up on defense and struggled to get open looks on offense.
Being healthy and being in top condition have made a big difference. I’m happy for her, she played hard for us every game

re: Riley Cooper!
Posted by TigerDM on 3/26/25 at 11:21 am
Coopers 2023 season was amazing. He didn’t finish a meaningful game
all season, then became a lock down closer in the postseason. All season long he couldn’t throw a strike with the microscopic strike zone of the SEC umpires. With the larger strike zone in the postseason, all of his pitches that just missed all season suddenly were strikes

The students sure won't have a problem with the 9:15 tipoff. Then they will go party after the games over. Thing is, they will probably have several hours of warm up drinking before the game.
re: Former tigers that came back for senior football seasons
Posted by TigerDM on 3/18/25 at 12:42 pm
Many times there is a perception that a player dropped by coming back because they were lower than their draft grade. In most cases, their weaknesses would have been exposed at the combines after their Junior years instead of their senior years. Most players improve their grades because their is another year of film on them and they greatly improve their performance that is not a measurable.
re: Favorite and least favorite LA school other than LSU
Posted by TigerDM on 3/13/25 at 9:41 am
I travel all over the state and while everyone dreams of beating LSU, they are almost all fans except ULL. As a note, it is hard, almost impossible, to find Tulane fans.
I like the LA Tech fans the best, they embrace the fact that they are a stepping stone program and sell themselves as that to recruits. They let the recruits know that even though the staff that recruits them may move on to a bigger program, they will replace them with talented up and coming coaches.

re: question regarding eligibility of flaujae Johnson
Posted by TigerDM on 3/10/25 at 9:56 pm
How much money she makes at LSU versus leaving is depending on
where her money is coming from. The majority of Angel”s money was
coming from national companies and not local, so she still was getting most of it after leaving.

re: Why did Mainieri start to slip late at lsu?
Posted by TigerDM on 3/9/25 at 6:40 pm
He got lazy recruiting, partially due to his health.
He went all in on big, hard throwing pitchers that often
struggled to throw strikes. He also offered way to many scholarships
to top 15 and 16 year old prospects that were maxed out physically.
In his last several years almost no players showed and improvement.
They were pretty much as good as they were ever going to be when the
got here.

re: Paxton Kling

He has tons of ability, but the stage was too big for him and he couldn't take the competition. He was given far more chances than other players with the same stats. Some players are so use to being the star, that they can't really handle battling for their spot. Just look at Pearson, he has been in and out of the lineup yet he still performs in the clutch, despite very modest overall stats.
I wish him the best, but some players just have to play without having to look over their shoulder at the competition. There is major competition at every position when you're at LSU. When you don't perform, someone else is going to be given a chance. I look at guys like Kramer and Papierski that had their struggles and were put on the bench for someone that performed better. They kept battling and turned out to be great players

Back years ago for the ice game against Kentucky, I sat by a parent of one of starters. You couldn’t help but notice the huge difference between their top players and the end of the bench players. He said they were realistically managers on the team to keep their GPA up
re: Where are all these tennessee Baseball fans coming from?
Posted by TigerDM on 3/4/25 at 3:47 pm
I have a good friend that is a longtime TN fan and they are embarassed at many of the new fans that have come out of the woodwork after the program became successful. He admits that their bad fans are as bad or worse than any, refers to them as the hillbillies

Are you a point guard that can make clean passes to set up shooters, penetrate without gettiing the ball stolen, not throw up wild shots that have no chance of going in, break a press and score when you have a clean look.
We haven't had someone that could even do one of these the last 3 years, causing numerous turnovers and terrible shooting
