Well he better find a big replacement because this a big loss regardless how you slice it. He had lots of potential.

I remember he was one of many players listed as a "steal from the MLB draft" due to his SR HS injury. You like him more than I did. 9.20 ERA in 27 IP, 40 K which is great, 27 BB which is hideous. A pitcher can't win giving up 1 BB per IP. The word "potential" is becoming one of my least favorite words in sports. I don't give a damn about "potential". I give a damn about another word that starts with "p"...that word is performance. He simply was a poor performer. MAYBE he will improve or maybe he won't. This season he flat out proved he wasn't ready for prime time.

If Jay really wanted to keep Paz then he wouldn’t be going to the portal.
If he didn't want to improve the rest of the rotation, sure.

We have. It's been put together throughout the thread. This is Cain/Early doing scumbag stuff.

Everyone is talking about how Nolan Cain is a piece of shite and did this intentionally and your response is "oh everyone does it" with the implication being that we're no better. We have not done this.

I said that every school tampers, which is true. I didn’t bring up LSU. But if you want to dig into it we can. Last year the portal “closed” on July 1st. Zach Yorke entered the portal on June 29th. Trent Caraway entered the portal on June 30th. Santiago Garcia entered the portal on June 23rd. Do you think there is any chance that LSU has tried to convince a kid to get in the portal within the past 5 days?
quote:

No but there's no need to be obtuse. Marcos Paz doesn't tell Jay he's returning, knowing that LSU is bringing in Hood, and then do this bullshite 4 days before the portal closes on his own. This was deliberate by Cain.

It was a bullshite move.

I’m not being obtuse. You basically just agreed with everything I said that you quoted.

Jay is not letting anybody walk away that he wants to keep. Good luck to the young man…but bye!!!


It may not be that simple. He may be looking for an opportunity to start more and with all 3 of ours from this year returning plus what we’ve brought in, that’s very unlikely.

I'm wondering what we're doing here and if we're still targeting pitchers. We only brought in 1 so far and he's a big potential one himself but we need more proven lefties. You can't just rely on the freshman arms coming in. And now you lose someone who was probably going to be heavy in your rotation. We need more pitchers out of the portal.

We’re still looking at HS guys for the 2026 class too. At least a couple late pop up guys. One that was committed to a JUCO in Texas but recently started touching triple digits.

I was a big Paz guy but he was probably the 5th starter at best.

We should have Thomas Allen news real soon. I think he has 2 SEC offers other than LSU to consider but he should be making a decision soon.

Guaranteed tamper candidate. We probably should try to keep him. But,....you can't keep everyone with 34 roster spots.

Just going to assume this is sarcasm for your sake. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

You’re point is correct - it’s unlikely he was processed, but let’s not act like he was a shoe-in to start weekends in 2027.

PP, if this whole thing was orchestrated by Cain, why has Paz not committed to A&M and still considering other schools, including tho e school that Cain just left?
