Like I said you have to have guys you can rely on out the pen to either keep a game close if you're behind or protect a lead if you're ahead. If Cowan and or Evans aren't available we don't have that


This is the norm across college baseball right now, it isn't just LSU.

The days of stacking 5-7 solid relievers are over.

Texas is statistically the best pitching team in the conference and their fans believe their staff isn't deep enough, just like fans here.

Holy revisionist history, batman, no he wasn't.


vs A&M 3.1 IP 4 R 3 ER

vs S Car. 3 IP 4 ER
vs Kentucky 4.2 IP 5 ER
vs Alabama 2.2 IP 6 ER

He had an SEC ERA of 5.76

You forget because he was awesome in Omaha.

Ack, Cooper, Herring, Guidry and Hurd were better then than literally every bullpen arm we have now not named Evans and Cowan


Holy revisionist history. What were their ERAs?

Again you’ve completely blotted out what happened that season because they all were awesome in Omaha.

and again, I started my
post saying, on May 1 2023
who did you trust?

This isn't based off of just last night.

I don't think our offense is good enough to mask our pitching. shite can happen and someone could go on a tear, it's happened before.

LSU is a great team. There are just 8 other great teams in the SEC. Wide picture, they've only really lost to great teams.

The losses to Texas and Tennessee have gone the same way. Missed pitch here and there.

I don’t have much faith in this team making a deep postseason run.




I can tell you this, no team is going to want to face LSU in the postseason either lol. You all have zero perspective.

This is a high floor, low ceiling team.

They have a bunch of great role players but they don’t have any true stars. Bear is tremendous if he’s playing second or better yet third fiddle but not as top dog, not enough contact. Dickinson Milam Curiel great in their roles but not capable of really carrying the team (yet). Braswell, Stanfield Hernandez solid SEC average type players. Then Jay has Frey, Brown, Person, Larson completely off balance, little true production from DH/RF as a result unfortunately. And they’ve got 4-5 great pitchers then a really steep drop.

Success for this team is Omaha but not enough horsepower for a natty unless everything starts clicking (Bear, RF/DH, bullpen) at once, which is unlikely.

Should add… we should be happy with this as baseline. We have some star power and are capable of beating anyone anywhere. The team seems to genuinely like the game and each other. If you take out bullpen woes they’re really fun to watch. I’d take this 4 years out of 5 with a deep run possible 1 of 5 realistically.

Oof

Curiel can be great

So can a couple pitchers, maybe

Otherwise, the terms “great”, “stars” etc get thrown around way too much by fan boys

You were making the same exact posts in 2023, and that LSU team ended up winning a championship. Here are some of the gems. You do not know what you are watching.




quote:

He’s the Lincoln Riley of college baseball.

Good offense but soft and not much to offer on the other side of the ball.



quote:

But that’s what Jockey Jay is.

It’s like complaining because Lincoln Riley has a great offense but can’t stop a nose bleed on defense.

That’s what we hired
.

quote:

Jays pitching decisions leave much to be desired



quote:

Way to give up on your team, coach



quote:

Pretty weak stuff by Jay



quote:

Thanks for ruining my Thursday viewing with these practice squad pitchers Jay



quote:

2-run deficit in the 3rd and he elects to accept an L so that he can save pitching for a double header?

Horse shite Jockey Jay


quote:

14 hits on day 2 to an average team

No bueno


quote:

shite performance



quote:

We walk so many batters they know when it’s going to happen now



quote:

Don’t get cocky after you can’t beat Arkansas, Tenn and South Carolina 3 straight weeks



quote:

And the lack of confidence is back like clock work



quote:

Can’t buy a sweep



quote:

Morgan tends to have a lot of games where a defender could stand in the same exact spot and catch 3 of his fly outs. It’s wild



quote:

Dylan looks like ‘22 Milazzo right now. Doesn’t even wanna swing



quote:

It’d be nice to score without having to hit HRs



quote:

Agree. Other than occasional bunts we don’t even attempt to manufacture runs. Its power or bust



quote:

Our base running is pure trash



quote:

If Jays teams don’t hit HRs they usually lose



quote:

Head scratching decision by Juicy Jay



quote:

Jay doesn’t care as long as he hits some bombs



quote:

Jockey Jay Likes to ride the horses that run the fastest

No room for finesse or strategy, just pure whippin’ and drivin’

Pitching? It’s not ideal but we have a much, much bigger problem.

no way vols going to come into our home turf and pull out the series win

home field advantage is huge in this league, too much to overcome for any away opponent

atleast that’s what i read on trant over the years when lsu goes on the road and loses

Offense is the issue


I’d put pitching depth as our #1 problem.

But it’s impossible to ignore the offense the past 3 or 4 weeks. This team isn’t swinging it like it was earlier in the year. And 4 weeks isn’t a slump. That’s real.

Good team? Yes very much so but not a team that's where it needs to be right now.
