Nothing wrong with your banter. Typical baseball know it all, you make some good points.

You got lucky predicting Krob last year and I’m glad he did better last year.

Adam, another thataboy, your assement of the new team is all I have to go on to start the season.

I can’t honestly take credit for that. It was an inside joke with friends one of which really did constantly love/defend KRob. Originally, I was defending KRob as a joke. But as more and more people were dicks about it as he played better and better, it was about pissing them off. Those are the real assholes around here. People who get so invested in their misconceptions that they are legit mad when a player has success because they know someone is out there ready to shove it in their faces.

ETA: And to be fair, there were plenty who were happy for him and the team who also thought he wasn’t the answer at SS those first couple years. Him turning things around was a huge factor in getting to Omaha.

Hilliard and Fontenot I think are breakout guys on the mound looking just at the freshmen. It’s an easy pick, but Cabrera is the real deal. Excited to watch what he can do when tested come SEC.

The majority of this thread is why I like regular season baseball on this board.

Minimum bitching and fighting. Just a handful of knowledgeable baseball posters agreeing and disagreeing but mainly discussing baseball.

But then the postseason starts and you have people like that guy last year pitching a fricking fit because Bryce Jordan isn't starting solely because he hadn't paid attention all fricking year enough to know he blew out his knee 3 weeks before the fricking season started /rant

Preach, man... preach. It starts the week before the SECT where idiots out of nowhere think they have some hot take regarding the team and everything that's wrong with it and why it went wrong. Regardless of us being a national seed lock.

I take great pleasure in fighting those fools come May

ETA: I'm going to be cussing at some dumb fricker this year about Walker not pitching in the postseason.

I guaran-fricking-tee it

Absolutely. But I am not going to miss KRob and his shoes and his momma this season.

Diehard football fan here. I pay attention to the baseball scores all the way through the year, usually start paying attention to the roster and staff about halfway through, and really start watching ever game as post-season nears.

My goal this year is to watch every game televised n watchespn and be as dedicated as I am to football (Don't really care about basketball, just can't get into it too much). This guide helps to put faces to new names. Thanks.

If you download the lsu sports app you can listen to every game for free. Not as good as watching it obviously but it helps keeping up when tv isn't available.

Relief pitching might end up being a strength by tourney time. There will be some growing pains to get to that point but there are several really good arms in the bullpen right now. Several that would probably be starting day 1 at other schools.

Is Nick Storz going to be a pitcher only when he returns? I’ve seen home run derby videos and was just curios. I’m sure it’s probaby been posted some place and I just haven’t seen it. TIA in advance to anyone who could shed some light on this for me.

I have little faith in cam sanders this year if he struggles with control. Im legit worried about the pen. Fontenot and hilliard sound promising. And it sounds like beck and bain will be good.
Cant imagine hess not starting this year unless he struggles. If someone like sanders pitches well, i doubt he replaces hess as a starter if hess pitches well, he wont want to kill his draft stock...and PM wouldnt do that to him.
