re: The transfer portal is cool and all.

I suspect it also lets certain players know that they are not as good as they think they are...how many players enter the portal and do not end up finding another school. Presumably their career is now over. I wonder how many of the portal entrees from LSU will find this out the hard way.

Cheering for the Tarheels...Oklahoma is cocky and I just can't cheer for them. UNC has been there 13 times and has never won...

Against an AMAZING WF team...54-10 before we beat them twice...on a 7 game win streak after sweeping regional and super regional and 2 wins in Omaha including once against us. LSU had pitchers step up those games to get us through. It is hard to lose in your first or second game and have to come out of the losers bracket.

Ruckert struggled at the beginning of the year but he found his glove later in the season. He had errors that cost us a couple early games but he was a freshman and made freshman mistakes. He will be much better next year.
Once Braun was penciled in every day, first base became very good. As for catchers, both Cade and Omar were good...yes, there were some missed balls but how often was that on the pitcher and not the catcher? Still counts on the catcher but the pitcher may have crossed them up.

re: Jay needs a Wes Johnson

Pretty sure the Georgia job was in the works before too much post season in 2023. I remember Wes was not at the championship celebration and saw very little of him in Omaha.

Jay HAD a Wes Johnson, he had Wes...but Wes wanted to be a head coach. Yeskie can't control how pitchers throw. He can help them develop.

I love all the teammates and future teammates sharing the post too. Shows they are excited at the concept also.

They must start later in the day...He was on Rougarou one game (I think he only lasted one game) but couldn't manage to show up on time.
re: WARREN MORRIS….. Today is the 30 year anniversary of his home run

he was so exited...he called it a 3 run homer...but they quickly edited the broadcast for the replays of the call (like the Bluegrass Miracle call)
re: Who fits this coaching/staff position for lsu baseball?
Posted by kellyval99 on 6/2/26 at 10:06 am to Tigernomics
I guess that plan is for when the Tigers are in Omaha in the FUTURE chasing a title...because we are a long way from having been there this season.
re: College Baseball Transfer Portal starts June 1st
Posted by kellyval99 on 6/2/26 at 10:04 am to mikejsjr0912
Hardin, Noot, Primeaux, Caraway...none of which contributed much of anything this year. Primeaux went from the 1st in leftie last year to what 3 appearances this season...Hardin must have not done well in fall because he never seemed to see the field even when Stanfield and Brown were injured. Noot was better in 2024. Caraway just didn't prove himself to be reliable. No losses in this group, honestly. And how many of them were told in their final meeting with coach that they should enter the portal? Skip told players they had no spot on the roster for the next year, to look elsewhere...Mainieri told players if you get drafted, take what they offer...

No team from Omaha in 2025 will even make supers...Makes me feel a little better about the down year...that and UCLA losing at home. :)
re: Quit blaming Coaching..The players are middle of the pack in talent. Blame transfer portal
Posted by kellyval99 on 4/29/26 at 10:37 am to Islandboy777
Jay can not win with the fans...if he pulls a pitcher, he pulled him too soon. If he leaves him in, why didn't he pull him. The coaches are not booting the balls, throwing the wild pitches, looking at strike 3/swinging at pitches in the dirt. Jay has acknowledged that he messed up but give him a break. I can absolutely see next year being a great year again. The freshmen that are getting to play right now due to injuries can see that there is a place for them on the team next year.
And lest anyone forget, every team makes the SEC tournament...LSU could pull off a miracle and win the tournament and make the NCAAs...

re: Why can't the WPs be fixed?
Posted by kellyval99 on 4/22/26 at 12:26 pm to TigerMac81
I am just going to say, when Cade starts, people complain about him behind the plate...when Omar starts, people complain about him. Apparently neither of our catchers are worth a darn, unless they hit 4 home runs in a game, then people love them.

It was not. Her score was 9.235 or similar versus the OU fall that was a 9.05

We already are! Cowan and Evans and Guidry were all relievers last year. The loss of Moore and the absence of Anderson and Eyanson is glaringly obvious in this year.

Posted by kellyval99 on 4/17/26 at 10:00 am to LSUDonMCO
What I saw, we start on floor and end on beam. I HATE that rotation but we won in 2024 with that.
They just better be FAIR in judging...none of this save the highest scores for the last competitors bullshite that happened yesterday. Kiera Wells' vault was NOT better than Chio or Lincoln...but she scored higher. Jordan Chiles got the score she got because of her name because she totally slid on her first landing but did not get counted off...Chio should have won floor also.

re: We still going to deny that Jay missed on a lot of portal guys?
Posted by kellyval99 on 4/14/26 at 9:51 am to King of New Orleans
Let's not forget, LSU was still playing in Omaha when a lot of coaches were hitting the portal hard. Jay was busy coaching his team to a title and not as able to recruit portal guys. Happened in 2023 also, hence the down 2024.
re: Wasting an amazing defensive year by Milam
Posted by kellyval99 on 4/14/26 at 9:48 am to jmaclsu
His defense might be on point but a .266 batting average is not anything to brag about. He should be a leader on this team with his experience but he doesn't seem to be.
re: 3 Ks with bases loaded?
Posted by kellyval99 on 4/8/26 at 10:54 am to Safety Blitz
My comment last night is they are so focused on getting the next grand slam, they are swinging poorly. It doesn't take much to drive in a run with the bases loaded and none out...whereas we walked 2 guys with them loaded...and then had an error to allow 2 more runs to score.
Lachenmeier has come in 2 games and promptly hit the batter...and got pulled. Rizy came in, was 0-2 on the batter before hitting him, then walking 2 more batters. You can deal with the triple and the single before those but gifts need to be not given...and when given gifts, take advantage (like everyone else seems to).
Jay is sometimes too quick to pull some pitchers but leaves others in too long.
