re: The New Bats are Killing College Baseball (Reasons Why)

Mississippi State scored 23 runs their first two games again Vandy.

Maybe, just MAYBE LSU is not that good of a hitting team?

Maybe, just maybe, if you look at the game info, it might give another perspective that MSU was not exactly tearing the cover off the ball. Maybe Beede had an off night which can happen to any pitcher, and his teammates didn't exactly provide much help while committing 5 E's to MSU's 0. Big innings can happen against anyone. This is one of those things that keep being repeated to make LSU look worse than they are when MSU had some good fortune and Vandy a rather poor 2 day effort. I believe MSU is a high quality team, not undermining their effort to take the series @ home 2-1.

The bats are the bats. Any guy now hitting north of .320 vs quality pitching can hit. Everyone is playing with the same bats, shouldn't affect the draft potential of any player putting up good #'s. Who it should affect is the pitchers, making them look better than they may be beyond college ball due to the raised seam bat going against bats with tiny sweet spots and lack of rebound effect.
