Because you don’t know a lot about baseball. As is evident by every argument you try to make.

Ok so Texas is better than LSU and will make a deeper run, right?

I don’t think anyone would be shocked if Texas makes a serious run. They’ve had a pretty historic season.

Best versus the best? Baseball is played in series for a reason lol. How good your third pitcher is and the rest of the bullpen matters drastically on the strength of the team.


Perhaps but they don’t lose game one in that scenario a good 90% of the time either, so..

Objectively, yes they appear to be better at this time. They have a better record and beat us head to head.
Should that not matter?


Does that mean we can’t beat them? Of course not. But I’m not gonna sit here and act like none of the results to date matter. That’s disingenuous as hell.

Hope you’re right about the last part.

Cool. They lose more often than LSU in SEC play in any game scenarios. Again, no one is doubting if Tennessee is a good team. They obviously are which is why it was a good win for LSU. They just haven’t played as good as LSU which is 100% correct and indisputable.

And LSU pitches Game 2 differently as a result.

Nah

LSU had a cupcake pre conference schedule. As soft as any which padded the win column and many players’ stats

Every team in the SEC has a pulse on any given weekend except Mizzou, as their winless conference record is evidence of

We played Mizzou at home. Tennessee doesn’t play them.

And when you include Mizzou, Tennessee’s opponents have a worse conference record. Sorry the truth hurts, but they haven’t played a great schedule.

They only faced LSU’s frontline pitching in 6 innings of Game 2 and 8 innings in Game 1 and were shutout 11 of those 14 innings scoring a total of 4 runs. LSU faced Tennessee’s frontline pitching in all 18 innings scoring 9 runs, also only scoring in 3 innings. Even if we exclude the 9th, Tennessee only outscored LSU 4-3 against frontline pitching. The conclusions you draw from that are truly bizarre.

Texas is 19-2 Tennessee is 13-8. Is not even comparable of course Texas appears to be better than Tennessee lol. It’s not that Tennessee can’t get better, but no they have not looked the best.

LSU's coach would have subbed out the team leader in errors in the bottom of the 9th up 3. LSU's coach doesn't pitch to Jared Jones there.

Stop.

Lmao so you're evaluating two teams based off of half of a series?

Is that mismanagement? I thought they looked like the better team for the first 17 out of 18 innings of that series when it was best on best. You’re free to disagree.

Jay had LSU in a position pitching wise to win the series. Tony didn't. He had the blunder in game 1 that should have resulted in forcing another change as well. He was rattled and it showed, especially on Sunday. Pulling the starter to let Curiel face a lefty, pulling the lefty to intentionally walk jones, then having a righty face Brown was bad. That was their lefty specialist.

Instead he put in his best freshman and LSU knocked him around. Meanwhile, LSU's best freshman shut their offense down.

This narrative would be nice if it weren’t for their reliever losing in the 9th on Friday after their future 1st Round pick absolutely handcuffed LSU for 7 innings

That was definitely mind blowing. Tony is a good coach for sure, but damn I have no idea what he was trying to do there.

Dude. Every stat I'm posting is SEC only. LSU's 3 games against Mizzou do not offset Tenn's series against SCAR, UF at their worst, and A&m at their worst (which they still managed to lose).

LSU's non con SOS is 220. Tenn's is 233. They have quite literally one of the worst non conference schedule's in America. it's worse than the "cupcake schedule" that LSU got to "pad stats."

LSU has an objectively better strength of schedule.

You are, again, wrong.

The King of Whiff? No real team is scared of Jones. He made a lucky swing. Happens. That’s Jay Ball. Win or die by homers. He dies plenty in big games.

Tennessee played Hofstra, Samford, and St Bonaventure. Both teams played one weekend in Texas (with LSU extending to play DBU). Tennessee faced RPI #25 Arizona and #62 Oklahoma St. LSU faced #23 DBU and #45 KSU. I’m not sure where you get the idea Tennessee played a tougher pre-conference slate.

As of now, Tennessee has played 4 conference series against teams with losing records in conference, including 5-16 S Carolina. LSU has played only 2.
