Wake Forest and LSU two years ago sort of still gives me chills with that 0-0 game through 13 innings.
11th inning walk off, right?

I was thinking about that and laughing a little to myself this morning. It was really just a few, with one idiot saying he wasn’t an SEC-level pitcher, but it’s still pretty hilarious to think back on now.

Absolutely agree. Thats the major difference with them and other pairs. At this point, they are interchangeable based on matchups and style.
I think it is fair to point out that it was a clear 1 and 2 dynamic with him and Anderson early in the season. I was still a believer in Eyanson then, but he wasn’t going as deep into games and didn’t have the fastball working quite as well opposite that off-speed magic. Since mid-season, he has found another gear and has become a monster.

I think if the team had been more offensively productive (for what ever reasons) we’d have been so dominant with these two as basic locks on Fri and Sat nights. The way they pitched all year could have resulted in both having 0s in their respective loss columns. I can think of one game (each) where they struggled early but with some run support something might have clicked and they may have been able to find their stuff in those particular games. Either way, you’re correct and we would have had a larger target on our back than normal coming into the tournament but no pity to any staff that came unprepared.

I mean if both are fresh and its do or die i probably pick Kade to start
But that gap closed so much since sec play began.
Jay can use either now based on matchips and I wouldn't fault him one bit for doing it. Its a great luxury to have

They are not underrated at all. They are as good as billed.

Eyanson/Anderson combo is better than just about all of those listed imo

The dumbest thing that LSU baseball fans do EVERY season is think the pitching staff is figured out a week into the season.

Jump & Holman last year were both top 75 picks. Crazy they are always overlooked

I think Jump will be one of those guys that surprises casual LSU fans when he’s good in the pros.

2012: Gausman/Nola/Eades
The fact that we didn’t win it all with this rotation is just as egregious as our 2016 and 2023 football teams.

I actually agree Eyan/Anderson are 2 aces but through LSU's history you're not really correct in implying that we've never had 2 aces. Gausman/Nola was a hell of a duo even with Nola as a freshman. In fact, I can't remember Nola ever having a "bad" outing his entire 3 years at LSU. Nola was an ace as soon as he stepped on the mound and is arguably LSU's most consistent pitcher ever. Gausman was the clear #1 guy but both were aces, it more just showed how much more ahead Gausman was at the time and his ability. I still think Nola was an ace his freshman year. Nola never had control issues and he completely commanded all his pitches painting the corners of the plate. He didn't need to throw 96 mph due to his command.
Nola was 2.09 ERA, 332 innings, 30-6, 42 total walks, and 345 strikeouts in his LSU career. That was not him getting considerably better every year, that was consistency every single year. Do not undersell how good Nola was at LSU. I may be misremembering but the only time I ever saw anyone hit Nola was a shaky early regional start game that he eventually settled in and dominated Stony Brook mostly because his outfield couldn't fill gaps. It's still absolutely incredible SB was able to come in and slap Gausman/Nola/Eades enough to win that regional when that was probably one of the best 3 day starters LSU had in decades. I can't even think of better 1/2/3 guys in LSU's history but I'm sure they probably had a few. I really wonder how far LSU would've got that year past SB because their pitching was elite.

Jay sending him to warm up and watching how dejected UF was in game 3 is a core memory.

A bit off topic, but the 1996 staff with Yarnall, Shipp, Coogan, Demouy and Laxton was loaded.
Hard to say Yarnall and Shipp were the best 1/2 because of Shipp being 5-4 as a starter, but his ERA was 2.63. Yarnall threw 124 innings, 156 SOs and had a 2.38 ERA.
