re: LSU Baseball 2024 (and beyond) Recruiting Thread

[quote]Jay talked up Arrambide and Priester at catcher obviously. Threw Frey and Jones out there too along with some of the portal guys (didn't name any of them).
[/quote]
I heard that as well. Sounds like Arrambide and Priester would be the catchers, which we all expected. I'm paraphrasing, but...

[quote]Monday confirmed[/quote]
Where? I still think he pitches Monday but it’s not confirmed on Pirates Twitter or their MLB probable pitchers. They could always stretch him out a day with a bullpen game. ...

[quote]Their GM has stated several times there is no intention of shutting down Skenes or Jones this year. That they want both to go through the full season now that each is up and part of the team.[/quote]
They may not shut them down, but they are slowing them down. While the Pirates won't say w...

[quote]So they are going with a 6-man rotation, unless there is an off day in that mix?[/quote]
Mostly 5, but they have thrown a 6th starter on occasion when they don't have a day off. The regulars have been pitching on a 6-day schedule lately (with some exceptions). Before the injuries to Falter...

[quote]Can this be confirmed somehow?
[/quote]
Not really. The Pirates announce their starting pitchers a couple of days in advance. While they have shuffled their rotation a good bit, Skenes has pitched 11 games so far. He pitched his 5th game on 6 days of rest, but every other game has been 5 ...

[quote]If he pitches in that series, my money (as shown by tickets already purchased) is for Tuesday July 30th.

They have been pitching Skenes consistently every 6 days (5 days rest) for about 2 months. Their manager was asked about Skenes pitching after the all star break and he talked...

[quote]I think we have all the catchers Jay needs on the team now. With Priester/Arrambide you probably feel good about those 2[/quote]
I agree. Out of high school two years ago, Jones was the 4 ranked catcher in the nation by perfect game and Frey was 12. Either of them could handle that IF need...

[quote]Were you around in the 90’s? It’d be like that.[/quote]
No way in hell. I’d agree that Saban pushed us ahead 10-15 years in his 5 years here. But LSU was always a sleeping giant that Dinardo woke up. We got a taste of winning again and that is why Saban came here. LSU had the fans buy in a...

[quote]Meh, if he didn't go to LSU and have success, he was going to have it at whatever program he went to that supported football better than Michigan St. He could've still eventually ended up at Bama.[/quote]
His path was always leading to the NFL. He was attractive to bama bc he won at LSU. H...

[quote]I think it looks like a pretty damn good roster. Would be nice to have more LHP but man that’s a deep staff.

Agree. Also, I wouldn't be upset to see what Brown can do from the mound. We have more dudes in the OF than we have LHPs. ...

This is based On Project's OP and the roster from last year. I might have some classifications messed up but I started this to see where we stood on returning players vs. new faces.
