re: Latest projection has LSU a #5 seed

Sometimes it can matter, yes. Sometimes it doesn’t

What kind of LHPs are we talking?

That's the only point I was making. Looking forward to Omaha.

The only new one this evening is Baseball America:

But, but the SEC tourney doesn't matter because LSU had the #4 seed locked up.

Idiotic take

Literally no one has said conference tournaments never matter

I've read this board for the last 10 days and there are those who say that.

I'm not sure who said conference tournaments never matter, it's all dependent on position going into said tournaments and coaching philosophy.

Teams that need to make up ground need the tournament success more. Teams that are solid in their position often use it as a last chance tuneup (in varying ways).

Some poster yesterday, maybe today said if SECT didn't matter for LSU, then why not sit everyone? That's a complete misunderstanding of getting arms work, but limiting pitch counts, starting players you normally wouldn't if it were regional play, to see how they perform.

It's a lot more nuanced than conference tournaments never matter, or teams trying to lose or some nonsense.

Yes it mattered, could have wound up with a higher national seed.
