That loss of theirs to Notre Dame in the 2022 Super Regional in Knoxville is still good for a belly laugh

concerned with being ready for the post season. It’s the absolute correct approach at LSU. We don’t remember sec champions we remember national champions. We aren’t going to win a title with 4 pitchers. We have to develop at least 2 more for the run. We can probably piece together some short outings with the rest. Our goal should be 18 or 19 wins host a regional and maybe be a national seed. He still wanted to win but development is the key


Excellent post, the ole “fight the battle in front of you” is an oversimplification. Unbeknownst to us currently is a handful of pitchers that Yeskie is grooming for late May/June. One or two from this batch need to rise up. Think Javen Coleman in 2021 vs Oregon or Will Helmers last year at UNC

Bump, maybe Ben meant to say Schmidt?

This is where NIL gets weird. This started from jersey sales, autographs, video games, etc. We can't call this NIL anymore. If we're negotiating sums to play, then contracts need to be involved


Well said. Agree this isn’t making sense. it’s not Nico saying I’m not going to do this television commercial for so-and-so unless I get more money. It’s Nico saying I’m not going to play unless more money. Irony is that playing well boosts marketability likewise sitting out makes one worth less

Heupel didn’t have enough headaches preparing for Ohio State, so his starting QB wanted an on-the-spot raise to play the next game the biggest game of the year and for Tennessee the biggest game in thirty years.

I am an art teacher, we have an annual art show. I cannot imagine in the weeks leading up to the event going to my principal and asking for more money or I don’t hang student art. To sabotage a group effort is unthinkable to me.

Sat and Sun, we were just the complete opposite of clutch. 1 base hit could have won either of those games


Forget a base hit. Sunday a pop out extends the game with a tag and another pop up tag wins the game. Hilarious that we just needed fly ball outs when had 38 of them across three games
That’s old school I know but I noticed Ole Miss is playing on Tuesday and Wednesday. We finished vs Oklahoma on a Saturday albeit on the road, start our next sec series on a Friday, and pitched just five guys. It’s gotta be be hard for Yeskie to identify much-needed frontlines especially if we run-rule NSU

thought Stanford was robbed of a hit in this series

But it’d be REALLY sweet if we could find a bridge so he [Cowan] never had to get more than 9


I agree and I have absolutely no idea who that pitcher will be. I wish we had two mid-week games this week
quote:

No problem with the squeeze right there

Agree up 3 - 0 would have felt much better in a game when runs are at a premium
I think Justin loer (Rockies 13th round) didn’t get from Jay the same kind of heartfelt goodbye that others who were drafted got. Maybe he is among those who contributed to a disparate team?
Thank you. Interesting post. The NIL would have to be massive to get me to move to another country, take classes in my non-native language, cope with homesickness, acclimate to different food, social scene, etc.
Project, a non-LSU thought: the 2024 Japanese high schooler LINK Sasaki who is a freshman at Stanford (hitting .303 to nitpick he has a lot of strikeouts) do you think Japanese high schoolers will start coming to US universities or was Sasaki a one-off? In researching I learned that Japan has college baseball.

If Frey becomes a full time DH, he will transfer after season.


Do you follow LSU baseball like even a little bit, Frey has had two off-seasons to transfer and refreshingly has stuck it out. He would have landed on his feet as a newcomer at most programs.

The peak of Cinderalla-ism was the HS draft eligibility NBA and one-and-done eras. The lower level teams had talent deltas but they weren't as steep as today.


Agree and mid-majors would sometimes be old: having starting lineups that had been playing together almost in-tact for three seasons.

Three years ago what happened with the Frey-to-catcher experiment? Interesting thought had catching worked out for him

Take nothing for granted in the league . In 2023 Missouri swept then #4 Tennessee. Missouri went 10-20 that year in league play. I’m thankful for all sec wins
quote:

there’s just been no development at all.

Of the high ceiling guys - and I think that’s where our frustration lies - it’s fair to say that only moffet was developing. Dutton and Bucknam’s success elsewhere was hard to predict. Combined it’s not a good look
quote:

Having a third string 6th year back doesn’t really help the team much because he’d be taking practice reps from someone else.


Fair point, but in addition to the feel-good story, there is a leadership thing to consider
