Transfer portal has made the college game much harder on pitchers

Yeskie likes to nibble more because he knows pitches center cut are going in the parking lot (which they have been)

Yes there has to be a better balance.

It is reasonable to ask if you are otherwise better off having guys that can paint the black inside/outside, up/down than guys throwing 95 to the backstop or middle of the plate

It’s time for Yeski to bounce

Just a few more days until that abomination is removed.

Transfer portal has made college sports worse period. Esp made it harder on the coaches. I have zero sympathy for players this day n age.

I can’t imagine trying to be a coach and build a program when there’s a revolving door for players. Every year you have to start over basically. The whole system is a joke.

You also can’t pay a lineup 1-9 and also pay 3 stud pitchers

You most certainly will have to pay 1-9 and at least 2 stud pitchers. That is if you plan on winning big

For a program like LSU, it benefits them significantly more. Feel much worse for the small schools who have done a great job of identifying and developing talent, just to help a kid get a big payday at a large program.

I think the big issue with building this years team is that it seems like we kind of just grabbed some middle to lower in guys that were available. The past few years we were clearly tampering to get some elite guys to enter the portal then sign them. I know we unsuccessfully tried for a couple guys last year, like Ace Reese, but that’s why we ended up with Dardar, Simpson, etc.

Since our offseason will start this week, I’d expect a different outcome this year.

Another Rant poster can’t defend Yeskie’s performance but pivots to banning what he doesn’t like to read.

Did I defend Yeskie's performance this year?

Can you defend your contention that Yeskie will be fired after Tuesday?

Learn to include posters who tell us what “we need to know” instead of “what you want to read”.

You don't tell us anything; you simply crap on any LSU team you can. You dole out the occasional backhanded compliment so you can point back to that and pretend like you aren't always crapping on LSU.

How sure are you that Yeskie will be terminated after Tuesday? Are you ban bet sure?

Yes and no. The small programs still have less overall turnover year to year in baseball and are able to develop most of their roster over 3-4 years. They may lose a player or two to the portal and they’re not having to worry about the draft nearly as much either. They can focus mostly on recruiting and developing good college baseball players. That said, they’re also not typically competing to make it to Omaha every year so there’s a give and take there.
