We all know by now that Jay's teams will need to hit. Jones is a great piece to get back but the other 8 in the lineup are unproven, that's just an objective fact.
Now I just know that you're trolling. No one could possibly make that dumb of a statement with a straight face.

it is noteworthy that the teams that win nattys usually have a significant amount of experience and continuity...Tenn, LSU, Miss St, Ole Miss etc all had that hallmark
This LSU team won't necessarily be described that way.
quote:Ohhh this wasn't a good faith post I see.
unless guys like Braswell really step up and don't lead the league in errors
quote:It is so far from an objective fact that I don't even know where to begin. Steven Milam was a freshman all American. Ashton Larson hit .330+ in SEC play. Michael Braswell hit .310 in SEC play. Even if you discount every single transfer (which is extremely stupid but I'll do it for the sake of your dumb bad faith argument). You have 3 infielders and a starting outfielder that have all proven to be good to great college baseball players.
We all know by now that Jay's teams will need to hit. Jones is a great piece to get back but the other 8 in the lineup are unproven, that's just an objective fact. Plenty of talented pieces, let's see if it can come together. It did not in 2024.

There is a TON of new with this squad

What were we ranked last preseason?
Would you rather we not be ranked #1 lol

How is Milam, Braswell, Larson unproven
in terms of their 2024 production, they're solid at best

We will have the most talented team on paper in the country. It will be up to Jay to put it together, which he will. I see great things happening for the Purple and Gold in Omaha next year. The article was spot on.
What was your prediction for this past year ?

And Braswell did lead the league in errors, which unfortunately correlates with Jay's teams typically not being great on defense. Just reality, not bad faith

Lol, no. I don't really care where we rank in a preseason poll 7 months before the season. We are going to be in the top 10 90% of years because we are LSU, have a great coach, and good talent. Whether we are #1 or #6 at this point doesn't really matter to me, that's all.

Tennessee’s SS had 15 errors and 2B had 12
Braswell had 13.
In SEC play he’s tied for 3rd with a. bunch of other SS.
He wasn’t as bad as anyone believes.

He isn't a stalwart either
Those teams I mentioned had continuity and quality contribution by upperclassmen
Maybe he takes another step

Specifcally what makes Ashton Larson (who hit .330 in conference) and Stevan Milam (freshman all american who has a great glove) unproven. Please be as specific as possible.
quote:Well, except it's not reality. Braswell was tied with 8 other people at third place with 6 errors in conference. Not good, but he did not lead the conference in in conference errors. If you want to point to his 6 errors out of conference, the majority of which coming early in the season, then that's great for you. Same amount of errors as Kramer his junior year btw.

It was a bad faith comment because it's a way for you to shoehorn "well he's experienced which contradicts my point but he's not actually good so it doesn't count."

Yea lets just ignore the fact that you were fricking wrong stating that he led the league in errors

Easy, they have a small sample size of production and were largely bottom of the order hitters. Until we see them produce in the heart of the order then it is indeed unproven
Braswell was not a reliable glove and was an ok hitter with zero pop. If he has speed it didn't show in terms of production. You can be excited about him if you want, I just think he's an average SEC player which is why SC benched him and was ok with him leaving the year prior and the MLB didn't covet him in the recent draft. He is what he is
Posted on 7/25/24 at 2:05 pm to WigSplitta22
he was close enough. Who had more than 13?

Do your own homework you fricking tool.

quote:No, they don't. Steven Milam played in 29 of the 30 SEC games. Ashton Larson played in 26 of the 30 SEC games. They both performed at a high level. Milam was a freshman all american and Larson was freshman all conference. This is stupid.
Easy, they have a small sample size of production
quote:This does not matter. Literally at all. It has no effect whatsoever on any of their production. This isn't 1994. guys hitting in the 8 hole don't get fastballs down the middle. Larson was hitting in the middle of the order for the majority of the season. Milam was either at the top of the order or 5-6.
largely bottom of the order hitters
quote:Michael Braswell is a senior leader with 3 years of SEC experience (something you covet more than production apparently) who is a consistent bat who found power later in the season. He does nothing poorly. He has what you need in the SEC.
Braswell was not a reliable glove and was an ok hitter with zero pop.
quote:Well it was pretty dumb of them to "let him go" (they of course didn't do that) because their starting short stop slashed .181/.335/.361 with a comparable fielding percentage to Brasswell. Weird, it's almost as if every single aspect of Braswell's game improved once he got to LSU. Maybe we have a good coach?
I just think he's an average SEC player which is why SC benched him and was ok with him leaving the year prior

Also, please tell me who brings back experience that should be ranked above LSU? LSU apparently only brings back one person in the entire program who we can count as experienced. Go into as much detail as possible.

They were ok. Teams didn't necessarily prepare with concern over guys at the bottom of the order. We have all season sophomore slumps before

disagree

Solid at best
