re: LSU Baseball - 2014 Post Season Thread

Im guessing i know whos responsible without looking

A left who gets in the 90s is not considered soft tossing. Your prototypical lefty sits 86-88 and is "crafty".

maybe bouman can. i doubt poche sits in the 90s. not from people have told me about him.

I think of someone that tops out at like 82-83.

thats a little extreme. its more 86-88 like astro said.

poche's writeup on lsusports said his fastball sits in the 90mph range. but i take that with a grain of salt. i know a lot of people who saw him in HS and said his FB wont blow people away. I guess we'll see.

Bouman i was going completely off the Cotton comparison. I really dont know much about him.

Yeah, but your Rodons and Randy Johnsons surely aren't the norm.

I'm not talking about any of our pitchers. I just don't consider someone who sits in the upper 80's soft-tossing. But you may have a different definition than me.

I'm trying to think of the last time we had 2 LH starters on the weekend.

Mike Sirotka and Ronnie Rantz.

Just kidding, Rantz was never a weekend starter.




As for a statement earlier today, someone said that they thought our starting pitching could be better this year than last? I don't know if we can replicate that success. We remember Eades for being shaky the last month of the season, but for the first 3 months of the year, he was pretty, darn solid. In fact, he was more dominant the first month of the year than Nola. Now it did take several SEC starts for Glenn to settle in. So if we could be more consistent with the Sunday starter this year, we might could balance out not being so dominant on Saturday like last season.

Don't forget that last year we hardly ever needed middle relief on the weekends. Our Nola and Eades got to the 7th inning of almost every start (until late for Eades). We really only needed Boojwah and Cotton in the pen to finish off wins.
