Any downside to Seascape beside not being directly on the beach? I am liking what I see with this place.

bad on the mound, and comically awful at fielding.
Our fielding is worse than the stats show. The pitching is bad too. However, pitching looks worse than it is. We've had many routine plays that should have been made but scored as hits, and they result in earned runs. But if we had a good defense, the ERA would be lower.

and a leader in Passed Balls. The two stats combined are astounding.
Yep. It's why I'd like to see Yamin catch more. I know it won't happen, but his catching against Tennessee was the only time I recall not being frustrated as hell watching our catchers.
In conference games, Serna is not batting well enough to justify his defense, in my opinion.
.260 ba
.333 obp
1 HR
16 Ks
4 BB
Yamin is comparable in batting (statistically, based on a smaller sample size). Arrambide is crushing it in SEC play, and his bat needs to stay in the lineup at DH.

In conference play, LSU is
7th Batting average
6th HRs (tied)
3rd Runs scored
5th Ks
4th BBs
5th in total bases
12th steals
10th HBP (tied)
Pitching
11th ERA
2nd strikeouts
14th in walks
10th hit batters
9th in HRs given up
16th in wild pitches
Fielding
16th passed balls
16th Errors
16th in Fld%
12th double plays
9th caught stealing (tied w/ 5 others)
All rankings are from best to worst. i.e., batting K's means having the 5th fewest. Wild Pitches means we have the most.

Hernandez started 144 games before coming to LSU, but that was mostly as a 1B and DH. He did play some catcher, but it certainly wasn't full-time.

B/c you'll stop posting altogether at that point. You are one of the shitty posters who stay quiet when things are good. Then, when things take a turn for the worse, you jump from the shadows to bitch and moan. I'm sorry that someone hurt you when you were young. You deserved better. You should see a therapist and work through some of that.

If you don’t want to see fans be critical of players/coaches, you shouldn’t be reading a sports message board. Especially right after that team gets swept.
Nothing wrong with criticism. I honestly don't mind it all from the posters that I see posting about baseball all year long. The hilarious thing is the casuals who haven't been part of any thread this season making a point to let everyone know how the season is over or they are done with the team or how they knew this was going to happen.

Link says April 30 is the deadline but I don't see an option to do it in my account.
Last year, I put in for my Bama away tix on 3/20/2025

Thanks. I hadn't really looked at Turquoise b/c I think all the condos are 3 bedrooms, which I don't need. I've passed by Caribe probably 50 times and never thought twice about it. I'll give it a look.

What else is comparable to Portofino Island Resort?
Posted by notbilly on 4/13/26 at 12:19 pm
After reading some reviews here, we went last year. I really like the setup where you get a condo, but it feels like a resort with restaurants, bars, etc. Are there any other options within 6-ish hours of Baton Rouge with similar amenities? Beach is a plus, but not required if there are things to do for kids nearby.
Portofino was nice, and we might go back. But we like to try new things.

re: Has LSU baseball won a game since Yorke was benched?

Here is a weird stat for you:
LSU record when various players start the game at various positions:
FIRST BASE:
33 Zach Yorke 31 (22-9)
18 Mason Braun 4 (0-4)
11 John Pearson 1 (0-1)
25 Omar Serna Jr. 1 (0-1)
In 2024, LSU was 17-1, with Paxton Kling as the leadoff. We were 26-22 when other players batted first.

re: If Caraway doesnt hit all those homer in the regional last year, does Jay take him?

There's plenty of examples of guys not necessarily working out 1 place, going to another and getting better.
Exactly. Sam Dutton barely pitched meaningful innings at LSU, then became the Friday night guy at Auburn and 2nd-team All-SEC.

Not everything it as complicated or in depth as some of y’all think. Even great coaches like Jay aren’t immune to having bad teams.
Correct. This is what some people don't seem to grasp. Jay took a different approach this offseason. He said he studied teams that had maintained success b/c he didn't want the drop off he had in 2024. I don't know what those adjustments were or lessons learned, but they haven't translated to success this season (yet). There is still time for things to improve. They certainly did in 2024 in the second half of SEC play.

Some of you are just dumb. Caraway had a solid resume coming in. He's been good in the field for us. His batting average is currently better than that of the person who replaced him. That isn't saying much, but if he were eligible this past weekend, there is a good chance he would have been in the lineup Sunday and maybe even Saturday. Yes, we need more production out of him at the plate, but the regional last year proved that he has it in him and seems to play just fine under pressure.
That LSU 'fan' is trashy. But if you've ever been to Oxford wearing purple and gold, you can relate to wanting to knock the frick out of those assholes. I've traveled all over the SEC. Ole Miss fans are the absolute worst.

I think it's convenient Jay didn't start bitching about resources until he had his worst year yet.
Jay was able to get guys his first couple of years. Other schools are now spending more than LSU. Jay has been trying to raise money behind the scenes. The timeline that is more accurate is that he sees the money Kiffin spent. Then is seeing the commitment made to Wade. Now Jay is upset bc he’s struggling despite delivering hardware to the school
