Dropping truth about the LSU baseball team. It’s worth the listen. Dude knows his stuff.

Cliffs notes
1. We have to throw strikes. Walking people is not acceptable. Give me someone that can throw strikes and we will get them out.
2. Hess is a 5 inning max pitcher with an over 5 era. First round talent but it’s killing the bullpen for the weekend when he can’t last past 4.
3. We have to be smarter at the plate. Learn to be patient and swing at the right pitches relative to the pitch sequence.
4. Hilliard/Walker needs to be the Friday night guy.
5. Hess needs to be the closer backing up Peterson in the late innings.

I wish they would use Hess in the Jared Bradford role.

Have him available to close out Fri or Sat game and if not used could start on Sunday.

Hilliard is no where close to being ready to take over on Friday nights.

GOAT & he nailed it. When can he step in as head coach? My favorite baseball tiger of all time!

I don't disagree with anything he stated. However, we aren't in a position, at the moment, to use Hess as a closer. We need him as a starter until we get Hilliard back and full-go.

Walkers fastball was in the mid 80s this weekend. Hilliard ain't ready either.

Todd Walker has been a guest and a regular on Fletcher’s show for years . He has a great baseball mind and is very knowledgeable about the game from high school through pro baseball.
He would be a tremendous asset to any program anywhere .

Where are the Maineri minions defending Hess being a starter instead of closing which is is obviously more suited for

Walker was head coach at Calvary Baptist in Shreveport and he didn't do well at all. He constantly came on Fletcher's show and threw those kids under the bus. Let's limit him to hitting coach.
