Last year we had a team era of 3.73 and was second in the SEC, OU was 8 at 4.47
ok and?
So we were the second best last year with a 3.73 and that is about a half a run worse than the league average when Nola last pitched in college. You're making my point for me

Their careers have literally taken the exact same path to Schmidt’s current time
How can I not compare that?

He improved from 4.7 to 4.2 ERA, that is no way “exponentially better,”
William Schmidt's 2025 numbers in SEC play + post season, with the best defense in school history:
IP: 3.2
R: 8
H: 4
BB: 13
K: 1
ERA: 19.64
BB/K: 13.00
WHIP: 4.77
William Schmidt's 2026 numbers in SEC play with the worst defense in school history, after becoming the defacto no. 1 because of injuries:
IP: 42.0
R: 27
H: 40
BB: 27
K: 52
ERA: 5.14
BB/K: 0.52
WHIP: 1.60
But please, tell me more about how his ERA only dropped half a run and that means he didn't imrpove.

Aaron Nola, who went to literally the same high school and college and was also drafted out of highschool,

Yeah dude, I get it. We actually had a problem with relievers for the last couple of years but it was disguised by our top pitchers. Luckily we got hot last year but if we lost one of our two top arms, we might have been in trouble. But iam no expert when it comes to baseball. But have watched LSU baseball since skip started coaching.
And iam not saying we weren't great last year but I just noted that at times when jay changed pitchers, we had some that had very bad control issues. But I knew jay had it handled. At the back of my mind I would think if we got in a situation we didn't have at least a couple of really good pitchers for Friday and Saturday, could be trouble. Problem this year we didn't even have one weekend pitcher and it bit us in the arse.

Schmidt has been very mediocre by all metrics, against guys who were likely not drafted out of highschool

Do you think LSU will improve Williams Schmidt’s draft stock? If you don’t then it’s hard to argue he wasn’t over rated
Being overrated coming out of HS, especially in terms of readiness to step in rather than just physical tools, does NOT make a player a bust. It just means Schmidt has a lot further to go to reach his potential than the recruiting ranking would lead people to expect.
Anyone who says Schmidt didn’t improve tremendously last year over this year is a fricking casual and not worth talking baseball with.

Dude no, Nola was a golden Spikes finalist at lsu, Schmidt will never sniff that
Schmidt is very average, and over rated

No, you are the moron. The highest rated recruit to come to LSUs campus should look a whole lot better than what Schmidt has looked like in 2 years. I don’t give a shite about your “he wasn’t a projected top 5 pick in the draft”. Schmidt was a higher rated recruit than freaking Dylan Crews. Yea, so far he’s been a bust considering how highly ranked he was and what everyone was saying about him when he decided to forgo the draft and come to LSU.

You really only need 5-7 pitchers to compete for a title. Most of the top teams in America only have a few truly reliable arms.
This year, between injuries and poor defensive play, our rotation and staff just never really got settled. The Yeskie/Jay approach of finding your guys throughout the season usually works. It doesn't work when your Fri guy struggles with command and your Saturday innings eater gets hurt at the most pivotal time.
When that happens, everything moves up and gets off schedule.
Like, Sheerin wasn't supposed to be asked to go multiple innings multiple times per weekend. That wasn't the plan for this season. Marcos Paz shouldn't have been starting conference games. Grant Fontenot was supposed to be the third back end of the bullpen guy.
We could weather the injury storm in 2023 (top 2 in the pen and your Saturday starter) because Skenes was essentially an auto win, Cooper and Ack had rubber arms, Herring was a dog, Guidry stepped up in a massive way, Hurd could show the potential every now and then, and the offense was elite.
DIdn't have all those luxuries this year.

What a lot of these retards fail to understand is that the issue is with their own expectations. They’re angry at these guys because they didn’t live up to their expectations. Expectations that were based on half truths and apparently just fricking geography in the case of Schmidt.
And somehow it’s the players fault that the fan is ill informed.

He pitched 3.2 innings in 2025?
