re: If you dropped the current Colorado Rockies into the CWS how would they do?

Not really. LSU had two players, Skenes and Crews. Wake had one, a pitcher. You may could have Skenes or Lowder hold the Rockies to a couple runs, but you also are going to have to score to win the game. Crews isn't doing it by himself, and Wake didn't really have any position players on that level. You're also talking about playing at a stadium in Omaha where college teams struggle to score against other college teams. (i.e., LSU and Wake went 10.5 scoreless until a walkoff home run in the bottom of the 11th inning). Now imagine a college team facing nothing but MLB pitchers in a game and trying to score enough runs to beat them.

and who on their pitching staff is holding an MLB team close to scoreless for 9 innings? Hurston Waldrep is the closest thing and he's gotten rocked by MLB hitters, already got demoted, and has been pretty bad in AAA so far this year
There's a problem with Lowder too. He never pitched deep into games at Wake. He was always done at 100 pitches. SO you'd have to figure out some bullpen guys to hold off MLB hitters.
Skenes is really just the unicorn in this situation that had the physical ability to possibly throw a shutout against MLB hitting and hope some team mates can manufacture a run by some luck

Are we assuming the Rockies play by the same rules as everyone else?

They also had a game this year they gave up almost 30 runs
Yes, to mlb players, but awful performances also happen
Legit question, how big of a talent gap is lsu and Little Rock? I’d venture it’s pretty similar to an mlb team to an elite college team
Interested to hear your take.
Also interested to see mingos emoji train response

This argument is so stupid, it’s unbelievable that we’re evening having it.
BEST CASE. SCENARIO you have a team like 2023 LSU with an MLB ready arm and a team that mashed all year.
5 or 6 of the hitters probably aren’t even making solid contact in the game and the other 3 or 4 aren’t going to be able to consistently hit enough to put runs on their board. So you’d have to have your very best offensive day to likely even get on the board, and your MLB ready pitcher (who’s still in college - with 2 years less development than current day) has to have his best day on the mound…. And you still lose 999/1000 times, at least

I wouldn't. LSU has very good college players on their team every year that never get past High A baseball. The gap between LSU and an MLB team is not remotely the same as the gap between a bad D1 team and a good D1 team

How many lsu players will make the majors/aaa/aa/a ball
How many players from LR will even get drafted?
It’s a massive discrepancy. This isn’t just picking a small school, this is picking a team with an RPI in the 240s that won 8 total games in the OVC

Another tidbit, Aaron judge, the best hitter in MLB, actually did play college. And not even in a great league.
He hit .345 with a .529 slugging for his career in college
Obviously he improved, but even the best fricking guys don’t just murder stupidly crush homers 1,000 percent of the time
Would the Rockies win a stupid high percentage of games? Absolutely
Would they be the favorites every game? Absolutely
Would they never lose? I don’t think so. And because of that and because of how Omaha is I don’t think it’s a guarantee the same way football and basketball is a 110% slam dunk

From LSU’s 2023 team, maybe 3 make the MLB an d it might just be Skenes and Crews. And that team is kind of an outlier. From this year’s team that number could very well be 1 or none for all we know. And there are “glue guys” every year that don’t play pro ball. Milazzo and Beloso immediately come to mind.

Even 9-50, if they have an MLB pitching rotation, they would never lose one single game. Their hitters would absolutely feast.

He said he wanted your opinion and then when you didn’t agree with him, he wanted to argue about it

You keep repeating this without acknowledging the fact that it’s college teams playing other college teams

In Omaha you are only going to get 6 ish games. Thats such a small arse sample size for baseball
It’s why the ops answer isn’t 100% yes
If it was 7 game series with any single team or hell even a 3 game series with any team it’s undoubtedly 100% yes

LSU’s best team in that regard was 2009. Ranaudo, Coleman, Mahtook, Schimpf Austin Nola, and Lemahieu all made the show. But none of those dudes were fast track level players either, and most only had a cup of coffee in the majors

Right, it’s about 99.99% IF you have a generational college team.

Would you take Matt Clark and Blake dean over Judge starting a college team? (You are getting their college aged bodies)

Back when professional football was a part time job. The modern teams would murder any college team.
I was referring to baseball not football. I agree that a pro football team would do that everytime. I do not agree that the same applies to baseball.

As college players, yes. Judge wasn’t even close to what he became when he was at Fresno. Judge hit 18 HRs in 3 years in college. Dean and Clark hit more by themselves in 2008 alone
