Ok I’m done with this total horseshite.

ALL frickING TEAMS PLAYED WITH THE SAME BATS AND ALL PLAYERS WERE JUICING NO frickING DIFFERENT THAN MLB.

You still have to fricking hit the fricking ball and that is hard to do.

My god you are dumb and angry. He’s not saying the bats gave LSU an advantage over other teams, he means it’s tough to compare teams from different eras. The game and the general landscape of college baseball in 1997 was quite different than it was in 2009.

not the two teams he’s comparing.

2009 hit 107 dingers with deadened bats.
how many would they have hit with the ‘97 drop 5s?

1997 slapped 188 dongs with smoking hot bats.
how many would they have hit with the much cooler 2009 drop 3s?

that’s why it’s so hard to compare different eras against each other?

Brandon Larson by himself hit more in ‘97 than Shimpf and Dean combined in 2009.
9 players hit double digit bombs in ‘97
4 did it in 2009.
no way the numbers are that lopsided if they use same equipment as each other.

He said the best team he ever had didn't win the CWS. I found that rather interesting considering the great teams that won it.


That would be the 89 team.

I’m referring to today vs 2009 vs 1997.

Can’t compare it because the BALLS and BATS are different today. People think that these kids all of a sudden became better than those before. It is like the “graphic that “pitchers throw harder today”. It didn’t mean that pitchers couldn’t throw harder. This is getting back to the same shite with what a Friday guy is in the SEC. Go look at Bens numbers and Byrd’s and others and see how long Skip stretched them.

They fricking pitches in MLB threw every 3-4 days for 150 pitches over the course of a season. That’s why you saw records like 25-2 and shite like that for Cy Young candidates with 20 being the minimum.

I'd say 1997 team.
I remember a year later in the '98 season we beat Southern 26-0 and a couple of weeks later we beat Arkansas 27-6. Crazy stats.

1986 was a phenomenal team. LSU's 1st at the CWS. The roster was full of future MLB and AAA player


I was in college at the time and knew a lot of those guys so I am biased, but that is my favorite LSU team of all-time.

The one that Warren Morris hit for a walk off home run against Miami.

1997 - 188 reasons why

LINK

"The Tigers played 70 games in their 1997 national championship season and homered in every single one of them. LSU bombed 188 home runs, an average of 2.69 dingers per game, both are still the all-time mark in the category."

I'm a little biased having played on the 97 team haha so it's tough to argue any other LSU team coming close to that incredible offensive year we had. If you saw us hit in the fall prior to that season you would have seen balls leaving the Box every night! We knew we were going to be really good..just didn't know how good. We had 9 ALPHA males all in the lineup trying to out perform each other every night..forget about the other team we were playing. Combine that with a talented ROTATION led by Thompson and Coogan and a bullpen of specialists and gamers..it was over. People also forget we lost our weekend #1 early (Kevin Shipp) or we may have lost less than 10 games that year!! The 97 team by far the standard bearer of LSU Baseball....Geaux Tigers!!

Putting the ‘91 team so far down the list (particularly behind 3 teams that didn’t win the CWS) is absurd. They steamrolled everyone in Omaha. I can buy putting ‘98 ahead of ‘91 because that ‘98 team was unreal. But ‘86 and ‘01??? LSU went 1-2 in Omaha in ‘86 and the ‘01 team didn’t even make it out of the Super Regional.

The 1991 team had a remarkable starting rotation, played outstanding defense, and dominated in Omaha.
