re: Bold prediction for LSU-LA Tech baseball game

I predict at least one wild pitch and one pick off throw that goes into right field.

There's no way to predict what will happen tonight. Both teams started the year hot, and both teams hit the wall about the same time. The struggle bus is transporting both teams to the stadium tonight.

Yorke still getting hate when the lineup looked just as pathetic Saturday without him.
As I recall, Serna replaced him at first and hit a bomb for 2 runs…. That’s more productive than Yorke has been since week 2 of the season….

I LOL’d.
I don’t want to poke fun at the guy… but….
I don’t have a problem with a big dude playing ball, But this guy is easily 40%+ bodyfat, as a college athlete that’s horrendous.
He is listed at 295lbs. I’d bet he is 330+

Ummmmm not exactly Serna was already well established in the lineup for the past two weeks or so. Just because he replaced his defensive position does not mean he replaced him in the lineup. I’m just pointing out we have like 7 regular players playing just as bad as Yorke that no one seems to point out. Serna excluded because he’s been very good especially lately.

Yorke has annoyed the shite out of me on some occasions. He's also performed on some occasions. One thing I've noticed is that home plate umpires seem to hate him as much as the posters here do. He's been the victim of bad calls more than anyone else on the team, from my anecdotal observations.
This is not an endorsement or me saying he should play more or anything. Just simply an observation.
I do think Caraway is starting to find it a little bit and would like to see him stay in the line up.

1. Playing serna at first, rather than DH, allows the possibility of moving serna to catcher without burning the DH. That’s a big plus!
2. Serna did a better job defensively than Yorke at first- ie. Stretching out to receive the throw, etc….
3. Name one thing that was lost by Yorke not being in the game, defensively or offensively…. I’m waiting….

The competition is not between Serna and Yorke. Yorke had a terrible game Friday, so they let him sit Saturday against the lefty and gave Yamin a chance at DH. Yorke will be back in the lineup and at 1st if Tech’s starts a RHP. Serna or Cade will catch, the other will DH.

I hope you're right... Really interesting study on Yorke... heard all offseason and into fall that he was a line drive guy, uses the middle of the field. Seems like he's trying to go yard on every swing... off speed has him in hell

If tweet fails to load, click here. I predict a lot of people asking how in the world Jay watched Pearson play with Hawsey their entire lives and didn’t take him. Kid has 9 home runs already and I wouldn’t be surprised if he hits another tonight. If Yorke has a bad game and Hawsey does what he’s been doing at first, it might rise to the level of a reporter asking why Jay didn’t take Trey.

Curious to see who we'll have pitching tonight as you assume Cowan will be saved for the weekend rotation.

I never argued any of these points and agree with all. I really like the move of Serna at first base. He does have a few minor things to learn (he was standing literally straight up in Ruckert’s error. Any type of stretch may have led to a different result.) Just a coaching point nothing major.
My point again is the points against Yorke are valid for basically 6 of our position guys. Dardar, Carraway, Ruckert, Arrambide, Milam (on the offensive side) have all given us nothing. Yet it’s only Yorke that seems to take the fall on here. As an example see of horrible offensive output on Saturday with Yorke out of the lineup. We are inconsistent 1-9

Maybe he will transfer in after this year. He might hit 20 homers this season
And he can play defense too.

Yes, we all know how that is “suppose” to work.

I agree that Yorke will play tonight, and he should, because it’s a midweek. Let him try to get out of his funk. He will have to play down the stretch so it makes the team better for him to get right.
In the SEC, I think Serna should be at first, for the reasons listed above. He is a plus move defensively, and thus allows you to move him to catcher without burning the DH.
Then you have the ability to DH anyone you want, even Yorke if that is the decision.

Couldn’t agree more.
Our infield has not been good outside of Milam.
Milam has been cold at the plate. That’s how Milam is, every season he has had cold spells, but turned it on postseason. He is just too good defensively to take out.
2nd/3rd base… I don’t even know who Jay should put there…. They’ve all been cold at the plate and made defensive errors.

It's how it actually works. You don't get to claim we should have taken a kid in the portal when he's never intimated that he wants to leave where he's at.
You can say we should have tampered. And that would be different.
But don't bitch about us not taking a kid that wasn't fricking available you fricking dolt.

Can he bring McCoy the 2nd Baseman with him. We need Louisiana guys who give a shite! If McCoy was from Catholic High he would be in Ruckert's shoes. He is a better defender for sure.
Posted on 3/24/26 at 10:19 am to Team Purple
I actually know McCoy and his grandfather (who I went to church with) and McCoy wanted to be at LSU but Jay told him to go to tech and they would reevaluate him down the line
But I would love if McCoy ended up at LSU

How? That seems impossible per previous post.
