He has command issues at times, pitch count gets high quickly which leads to less IP. He’s still #6 ERA in the country, I’d say that’s pretty good and SEC caliber.

Please stop pushing his dad away from LSU. We don't want his son being a bullpen SEC pitcher at Bama next year instead of LSU.

I don't want to argue semantics. I think Hurd is the second best pitcher on this team. Once little wasn't the option they began to let Coleman begin his stretch out in the starting role. I also want Hurd, or Floyd starting in game 1 of the regional. I'm making a point just for the sake of making one, I don't even disagree with you.

He may be SEC caliber but that ERA in the southland isn’t why.
What’s he throw 89-92 with a decent curveball or slider?

I’m not kin to him. Just love baseball and always pull for Nicholls after LSU so catch a lot of their games.
Didn’t mean to argue, sorry fellas

Why do people just act like Floyd isn’t on this team? He has been good to great all year.

My point is they weren't starting Coleman because they thought he was a better pitcher than Hurd. It's because they used Hurd in the game before out of the pen.
The fact that we started him to open Hoover tells me he's not the "4th starting pitcher" in Jay's eyes.

You won't find a single post of me shitting on Floyd on this board. I just think when it comes to "stuff" Hurd is Friday night SEC caliber. He just hasn't consistently put it all together all season. Saying Hurd is good isn't a knock on Floyd at all, coming from me.

That why I said, "we know this isn't the case," before I said what I said. Hurd started game 1 in hoover as our "midweek starter" which typically your #4 starter it you want to have 4 starters.
Again, it's all pointless. I think Hurd is a dude.

Nicholls is really, really scrappy. It's not a dream 4 seed like it would have been to run Money or Cooper out to start. But, I just don't see them beating LSU even with Mayers on the mound. It probably means that we can't throw way off, so it'll probably have to be Floyd. Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised if Jay chose to let Skenes go in game 1...depending on what the 2 and 3 seeds looked like. Of the projections I've seen, none of the 2 and 3 seeds projected to BR would have anything better than Floyd for game 2.

Pump the breaks.

100% agree. I could see Mayers being annoying for 4-5 innings forcing us to use Floyd to start and then some of the better relievers after.

quote:His strikeout numbers are good but 55 walks in 70 IP suggests he has stranded a lot of baserunners and his low ERA is probably the result of some good luck. Without significant improvement he would be hard pressed to replicate this season’s success again in the Southland, much less the SEC. That doesn’t mean it can’t be done, but he isn’t someone that you would slot into the rotation right away just based on what he is right now or what he has done so far.
What about him doesn’t translate to the SEC?

Nicholls is 100+ in the country in every statistical offensive category I looked at.
LSU run ruled them this season when they faced them with their full lineup.
The people that are scared of Nicholls is baffling to me.

Like I said, a pretty challenging midweek SEC arm. The Jacob Mayers of the world grow on trees in the SEC. He's just a freshman, though. He's still set himself up for a nice upgrade after this season. Then, it's all about development. But, we're talking about right now. He's just a nice midweek type challenge, a guy that you just probably can't throw a coin flip pitcher out there against in a regional given how pesky his offense is. Nicholls doesn't hit well, but they're a nuisance.

for some comparison the pitcher on LSU’s roster with the lost walks is Hurd and his ERA is north of 6.
Floyd has 39 walks and HBP’s and his ERA is north of 4.
I am willing to bet both of those guys have much better stuff than the dude at Nicholls.

There’s a reason Jay went Hurd-Skenes-Floyd for SEC Tourney starts.
That’s the rotation for regionals

I'm not scared of Nicholls or Jacob Mayers. It's not Grambling, though.

Definitely want Grambling or UNO
