re: Lsu has a hitting problem

Alright. First of all I want to say playing the game desnt really make you an expert. I was being sarcastic but truthfully the hitting problem can be lack of attitude which I think leads to confidence. I don't see that in our hitters. Whether it's coaching or lack of talent I don't have any idea, none if us are at practice to know what's going on. I know how to spell so don't hold me accountable to the spelling police. So this is only an opinion.I reall don't care to brag, never did and it was years ago when wooden bats were used.
I really didn't want to go there but i was not lying about my past. I will say only this and don't care at all whether anyone gives a rats arse or not. I reall don't care. When you play for coach Raymind Didier most of your games are won by one or two runs. Pitching and defense are how you win. Getting 5 swings at the end of practice rarely got you a lot if runs in a game. But you better know game situations because he gave you a test before every game. And as far as high school. Our high school won double digit state championships by the time I finished. I am sorry but I don't want to say anymore about that. But only said it because I wanted y'all to know I wasn't lying.

Blathers on and on about Miles in baseball thread; Claims I'm the one obsessed with him
Posted on 2/26/14 at 11:20 am to RedTigerRulz
For the record, I like Miles as a person and a family man, think he's a great recruiter and has done great things for this school.
I just happen to believe he's not the guy to lead us into the future. If you wanna know why, with me its primarily his offensive philosophy...plain and simple.
You may not think that's a good reason but there it is.

Not necessarily obsessed.... but certainly over sensitive. Deny it if you want, but your posts during football season suggest something else.
Ya know u can talk about other topics in a baseball thread...the 2 aren't mutually exclusive.

How do y'all know it's 20 feet farther?
Test done at Washington State with a ball machine, both the raised seam ball and the flat seam ball was used.
The distance achieved using the same settings on the machine for both types of balls was measured.
This tested aerodynamic drag, not coefficient of restitution because that involves Newton's law of impact and no bat was involved. And the ball's in the test had the same COR rating, so the factor was the surface difference.

I get it

Less drag means less break on a breaking ball. So, batters will see less variation in a curve and a fastball. I am assuming since the breaking ball pitcher will have less of an effect
That's what I was thinking, less movement on a fast ball as well, hmm. May be wrong though.
The flat seam ball is the same used in minor league and MLB now, and are able to get whatever spin needed for curve, breaking, cutter, etc.
There has to a surface difference even on the flat seamed ball that while has less drag, still has to have some surface variance which affects resistance to create spin.
College Pitchers going to the next level have had to make the adjustment. What I researched is that it is the grip, pitcher's switching to a flat seam naturally want to grip the ball tighter, which can lead to problems like skin blisters. But I would think that could also mess with release point until they become comfortable with the grip.

Pitch selection and "approach at the plate" has been a consistent issue since Javi has been the hitting coach.
Our hitters never try to "work" the count or make pitchers, especially frontline SEC (or post season) starters, throw deep into their pitch counts. Buzz saw pitcher + swing away mentality = a lot aces with <80 pitch count in the 8th and 9th.
These are philosophy/coaching issues, not talent issues

Yeah, I actually sometimes enjoy thinking about science stuff whether its laws of motion or quantum mechanics and to quote a fav comedy series; "I like my theoretical physics stringy"

Lets watch one game the 3rd week into the season and make stupid assessments. Oh wait, the OP has taken care of that.

You don't think any of our hitters work counts? I think some do and others don't. Austin Nola used to, Tyler Moore, Sciambra, Katz, & Mcmullen worked count last year.
This year, Laird, Moore, McMullen, and Robertson seem to work counts.
I think its more a player thing and less a coach thing. Granted, we could be better with our approach, but I don't think its bad.

It is a fricking terrible reason. And somehow it belongs in the thread about us not hitting last year.

And the icing on the cake is that we (the baseball team) were 1st or 2nd in every single major offensive category in the SEC last year.

I think Mett might have had something to do with that.
Besides I thought you said it was against protocol to talk football in a baseball thread.
