Man, these guys showed out when it counted the most.

If you would have told me in mid-May that Cooper, Money, and Coleman were getting drafted this year, I would have said you were insane.

And man, did they draft Edwards just based on the reputation of the staff?

This is impressive. So happy for this group.

Edwards was without a doubt one of our best relievers if not the best when he was healthy

And Edwards was told he had to step up and improve or he wouldn't even make the team this year.

Proud of all these dudes. It's awesome.

All the guys you mentioned have talent. Believe it or not, MLB clubs draft on potential, not shite on 20 year old kids bc they had a couple bad outings.

This board thought our bullpen was shite. It never was. In fact, to sustain the injuries it did and still win a natty, we were elite.

Leah Vann said she was told Edwards got 5th round money.

It's great to see.

When the guys started finally filling up the zone, the game changed for LSU and they rode the wave through Omaha.

These guys became Dudes!

Understood. But they weren't showing their potential for a while. Then, they did.

They deserve all of the good things coming their way. It goes to show what working hard does. They didn't give up. THey kept at it.

Let's not use revisionist history and pretend like the bullpen was elite all along. This board was not the only one criticizing the bull pen. EVERYONE was calling that the biggest question mark on the team and the potential weak link preventing LSU from making a run in the post-season. The bullpen stepped up in a huge way.

False with me and Cooper. There was only one thing that he needed to change and it was evident to everyone if you paid attention to him the previous season.
