2 way players should be a normal thing. Specialization in sports is annoying. If you can ball then ball.

It’s not worth the risk. What happens when he gets HBP and breaks his hand? Or slides and blows out a knee?

Idk but Tommy dislocated his should diving back into first. How often does that happen? If Skenes gets hurt it ruins any chance LSU has at getting to Omaha.

How can you look at this team and think an extra power hitter is the missing piece?

Last thing we need Skenes to do when he’s not pitching. Not a good decision considering we have one starter out for the season already & Shores dealing with some injuries.

Y’all are fricking idiots.

The kid is the best pitcher in the country and easily the most valuable arm on this staff.

At the same time, our offense leads the country in SEVERAL categories. Offenses have off nights. It happens.

But sure, let’s trot Skenes out there with a bat and just pray he doesn’t take 95 off the hand. Let’s go as head and risk completely annihilating this already thin pitching staff. Sounds like a reasonable idea.

They don’t understand what they are looking at. Every pitcher should strike out 27 batters a game and every at bat should be a home run

I wish the designated hitter would go away entirely.

If Hurd and Little were living up to the hype and Ack and Shores weren't hurt then yea maybe. But we saw tonight what this team is without Skenes. Do you really want to risk that?
