It is better now. Much better pitching and defense. Those 16-14 games were more like a neighborhood game of softball, imo.

I agree. Baseball as it is, is a very very boring sport. And I'm not sure why those baseball "purists" are so hell bent on making the college game so similar to the majors.... I mean isn't that what minor league baseball is for??

The truth of the matter is that to the average fan and to 75% of people that attend games, the excitement and energy around the game back in the gorilla ball days was much more intriguing. The college game needs that.

I haven't paid real close attention to LSU baseball in years. Mostly because of the clown we have as coach, but also because it just seems that they took the game way too far to the boring side.

These arguments around pitching are ridiculous. Good scouts and good coaches can surely evaluate pitchers just as well now as they could back then.
