The Way Forward

When it comes to LSU sports I am a gross optimist and will hold out hope for way longer than most.

I do think we have the potential to get back on track. Here is what I think that looks like

Pitching:

Friday: Evans
Saturday Schmidt
Sunday: Staff day til Moore comes back (if he does)

As of this weekend both look like left SEC Pitchers.

Bullpen: Longer relief guys- Cowan and Guidry
High leverage guys: Sheerin and Garcia

Sunday will be leftovers.

Offense:

I think Stanfield, Brown, Serna and Curiel will drive the offense. If they aren’t hitting we will stall.

We need enough around them to not completely die if 1 is off.

Then we need 2-3 of these four to actually pull out of their Funks

Milam, Carraway, Dardar, Yorke.

Milam: We know there is more to the bat there

Carraway: pretty high ceiling low floor player. Has only shown flashes of his potential but he dominated a regional last year.

Dardar: He was a .300+ 13 HR guy in the Big 12 and had good outing vs good pitchers.

Yorke: I think he’s gotten away from what worked for him in the past because his pro-prospects are terrible if he can’t go out there and hit 30 HR. That ship has sailed. needs to get back to contact hitting.

Jay will gamble on potential and I think this time around it’s biting him, but baseball is a weird game. People get hot and cold randomly

Fielding:

We’re mostly fricked but milan and the OF are good so hopefully we can pitch and hit well enough to make up for 3B, C 2B and 1B
