re: Too early for statue talk for Curiel?

Todd Walker is definitely the comp as a hitter. He's a level above Duplantis/Stevenson/Laird. Does remind me of Duplantis or Laird defensively though.

Their stats for the season aren't that great...
Love it. Gotta start strong. I think Evans and Cowan can go 9. Maybe bridge Ware against a string of lefties in between.

re: LSU/TN today - Bigger for?

Definitely LSU playing at home. Plus Tennessee with a slightly better RPI so slightly more room for error. Nevermind that Jay is 5-7 against Tony and there is a bigger war in play for who runs college baseball.

re: Zac Cowan started 17 games at Wofford

I would love to go 9 with Cowan and Evans. Ware scares me.
This mindset is the problem. Whatever happens today, any outcome for the season is still possible. Whatever happens today, any outcome is possible versus Tennessee next time we play them. It's one baseball game. It's one baseball series. MLB plays 162 of them in the regular season.

re: Magic Moment is the problem.

This is the dumbest post ever. This is dumb if you're being positive and dumb if you're being negative. Not many posts can accomplish 100% dumb.

re: Tennessee has a better roster than LSU

Posted by ccox11 on 4/26/25 at 10:45 pm
I don't think they do. I think the two rosters are almost identical down the line. And the two teams have the same SEC record and pretty much the same overall record and RPI. Neither are great. Texas is the only team with a great record. I don't really think they're that great either. We dominated them for a game and a half. I think college baseball is a lot like college football was this year-- wide open. A lot of good teams. No great ones. Whoever gets hot in June will win. I'll predict it won't be an SEC team. 5 straight is a lot to keep going and there is no dominant team.
The biggest reason we dropped from 6 to 12 is because the raw rating of teams 3-13 are very close. There's very little separation right now.

I'm not sure why yall are acting like Northwestern State is so bad. They have an RPI of 70. They're 15-9 in the Southland. The Southland is ranked 9th out of 29 conferences.

Also, margin of victory has no bearing on RPI.

Fulwiley was their best offensive talent but her playing time was somewhat limited. I think Dawn was mainly trying to get her to do other things the way she wanted-- ball protection, shot selection, defense, etc.
In reality 6-6 probably has us as a top 8 entering the SEC tournament. 7-5 would completely lock it up.

Don't forget Ruddell and Drost. The former Tigers doin work against us...
I mean we're 9-5 on the road against a pretty quality slate.
They might be tired from travel but none of these 6 games have been hostile crowds at all.
Who cares about losing a challenge? I don't think we've ever used them all and had a play we needed to challenge with none left. Also, he wasn't even going to challenge that one. He did only to make Stanfield happy cause he was telling him to do so. There's value in that too.

I wonder if there's any chance they would play 2 on Thursday since that looks like the least rain out of the 3 days. Then again, Oklahoma would probably have no problem not playing all 3. A 1-1 split is a victory for them, just like it was for south Carolina in 2023.

re: Ethan Frey vs. Josh Pearson at DH

Posted by ccox11 on 4/1/25 at 5:49 am
Frey at DH, Curiel in CF, Brown in RF, Pearson in LF is also an option. Stanfield shouldn't be getting any more playing time than those other guys.

I feel like deep down there's an incentive for Jay to not start playing him every day until the postseason to make sure his stats stay modest enough to get him back for next year.
