re: LSU baseball getting some early preseason love! Preseason #1

You sound like Joe Biden up at the podium. Dumb as frick and has no educated rebuttal to facts thrown at him

They were ok.

They were not "ok." They were literally better than their peers. They were very, very good. Hence the awards.

Teams didn't necessarily prepare with concern over guys at the bottom of the order.

You don't know what you're talking about. At all. A "bottom of the order" guy who is in the line up 90% of the time has as much data on him as anyone else and is treated the same. Also, for the millionth time, they weren't even bottom of the order guys.

We have all season sophomore slumps before

What does this have to do with your previous posts? Have you realized how stupid they are so now any of their past accomplishments are invalidated because they "could" have a sophomore slump?

I mean you're just incorrect there's nothing for you to even disagree with.

Solid at best

So yes, Michael Braswell is a solid SEC player. CWS champions are littered with solid SEC players.

fake news. Braswell maybe got offered a ham sammich but he had little dract stock and we all know it

---

You have no idea where Braswell was valued by teams. You have no idea what Braswells number was. It doesn't even matter. He's a solid SEC player who will be back next year. It is good that he is back. There wasn't a shortstop in the portal who I'd 100% take over Braswell, except MAYBE one, and he'll be our starting third baseman next year.

Meh. Reality is the second best 2B freshman in country was at Texas Tech hitting .280 lol. A little like being the tallest midget

Our freshmen were solid but nowhere close to star level like a Grahovac. If you wanna crown em as the next coming as sophomores then that’s your prerogative.

I know he wasn’t drafted and now lost his leverage. All I need to know. He’s a fringe pro prospect at best and the world understands that except you apparently.

Yeah you’re right, you wouldn’t take the kid from Louisville who went to Tennessee. Jay probably didn’t want him either right?

Speaking of posting in bad faith…

You mean the kid who’s scuffling in the Cape right now?

Madking alter?

Because Steven Milam didn't win freshman of the year he isn't good or experienced. Got it. He has to hit 23 homeruns with a sub .400 OBP and 95 strikeouts to be a star. Makes sense. So stupid.

You mean the kid who has worse conference statistics (in the ACC) than Braswell? Who hit .270 in the ACC with a sub .800 OPS? who had a worse fielding percentage than Braswell and currently has 9 errors in 15 games in the cape? You don't even know his name. You just know that a ranking service with flawed metrics ranked him high because he hit .380 against nobodies in OCC play.

I mean Daniel Dickinson, the kid who was selected to play for team USA who has nearly identical stats to your hero, Gavin Kilen, in the cape (after playing for team USA)

You're getting embarrassed at this point.

You still haven't answered my question. Who, in the SEC, brings back everyone and should be perceived as clear cut better than LSU who just reeled in the #1 portal class and #1 recruiting class?

Braswell just doesn’t have anywhere near enough pop to be a real pro prospect.

but Beloso wasn’t drafted and he was pretty important to a championship team.

At some point you have to accept the fact that you are arguing with a complete and total moron and move on. A brick wall would have a better chance at comprehending anything you say.

Dickinson in Cape Cod .208 Scuttling!

Kilan in Cape Cos .238
How could Jay not get this kid!!!!

that’s like a 2 hit difference.

---

Exactly. The cape cod stat stuff is irrelevant. I think we've had elite players struggle in the cape before.

And if Kilen was at LSU he would be using these stats against him right now, but he's at Tenn, so he must be amazing. Even if his stats aren't impressive.

It's not sour grapes either. I questioned Kilen's stats the moment I saw LSU had interest. I know he's ranked highly, but he hasn't shown it yet. Playing in Tenn's park might help him.

However, he sure struggled against ACC competition. Braswell hit for high average against SEC competition.

The great thing about Braswell is he doesn't even have to be a dude at LSU next season. He just needs to hit for a good average. And if he doesn't well you do have other options. Unlike this past season. IMO.

Milam hit in the bottom of the orde

Except he literally did hit in the back half of the order most of the season
