Cmon. We get the UGA/Bama vs ___ every year. Skenes would be Oakland's ace right now and Crews would start. My thinking here is Skenes would have to hose them down completely, but that doesn't seem impossible?

That seems high considering there are currently only eight former Tigers in the majors.

Over a season of 60 games, as a team LSU would be competitive against Rookie League/Short Season Teams. Would be less than .500 against Low A teams and would get beat regularly by High A teams. Double A and Triple A would be slaughters.

Where do you people come from?

Skenes may look strong the first time through the lineup against real pros, maybe, assuming they’ve not seen film on him, after that they’d be like a pod of orcas tearing the rudder off his boat, as a team we would be cellar dwellers in the instructional leagues, there’s a huge talent gap between college and pro

0-0 Tie (after 9) possibly is the only thing to hope for but prolly not.
2-0 Athletics
2-0 Athletics

We absolutely could take a game from them. A whole series is unlikely but on a one game scenario absolutely we could beat them

Have you ever watched the MLB?

I’d bet we could win and compete against single A teams. I agreed with everything you said till that. A ball is most likely filled with recent former SEC players. The gap from A ball to MLB is likely massive. Single A is probably closer to the SEC.

I don’t know about that. With Skenes on the mound and our bats as hot as they were last night, if you gave me good odds I may take the Tigers.
