re: ABS differences - MLB vs SEC

These aren’t pros.

There is also visual evidence of past seasons of ball and strike calls that the strike zone tightens up a little more at each step up in the minors.

Rizy's ERA is better, but I'm not sure I'd call him improved. He's given up more free passes in fewer innings.


Nearly all of his stats are better. K rate, BB rate. ERA, opp BA.

But damn near every hit is for extra bases. He hasn’t really regressed and he hasn’t progressed. He’s gone sideways in the worst way. Everything got better except the results.

Portal arm to monitor

Will be an in demand arm. 33% K rate, 9% walk rate

Are you legitimately retarded?

ETA: there is a pre game routing that involves stretching and warming up in various ways. That’s exactly the time something like this would pop up.
I don’t see Hairston hitting the portal unless there is a coaching change at ASU.

Davis another son of a big leaguer, similar to Hairston, so I can’t see a portal payday being a motivator but I could be wrong there.

ETA: fun fact, Tague Davis’ uncle is Glenn Davis who played for the Astros. I don’t actually remember him playing for the Astros but I remember his card being in every single pack of cards I opened as a kid.

I think part of it is the expectation of losing guys to the draft too.

We have three 1B/OF guys that are all draft risks to some degree. Losing two would look like we got hit hard by the draft but getting any of the three is great and how many of that player type can you fit on a roster anyway?

As far as infielders, I think only Loew projects to stay at shortstop. And I think the staff is preparing for Milam to go pro and probably for Clauss to transfer because we’ve been looking at a ton of JUCO infielders, most of them shortstops and most of them freshmen.

They may also be preparing for some unexpected (to us) draft attrition from the infield class.

Outfielder is an absolute crapshoot. A ton of guys, all of them draft risks. Getting one or two would be great because a few of them seem to be day 1 starters if they get here. But we probably need a corner OF guy in the portal.

Because LSU basketball hasn't won a big or consistently as football and baseball over the last 20 plus years, most of the fanbase are just casual fans.

I agree.

But also, LSU baseball has won two titles in the last three seasons and it has seemingly led to a LOT of ignorance with respect to not just LSU baseball, but NCAA baseball on the whole. If often leads to mindlessly dumb opinions and debates.

And the ABS strike zone is huge.


That's helping to some degree, but the biggest way ABS is helping is that it forces the umpire to give both teams the same zone.
I felt like he called more fastballs for Guidry.

But it could have just been that Guidry had more pitches working and it allowed him to call pitches in an atypical way for him.

That opens up a ton more guys for tonight too.

As much as I hate the carousel, if a guy doesn't have it tonight, pull him and hope he's better later in the week.

ETA: I know this kind of conflicts with my earlier post in the thread about everyone needing to get a few extra outs. I guess it's more of a pitchers need to step up and make Jay leave them in the game. And he needs to recognize early if they don't have it.

He only threw 36 pitches, I feel like he could relieve tomorrow IF we win tonight.


He can pitch again this weekend. It's also being discussed in another thread, but if we win tonight, we don't play again until Friday. Buying us time for all three guys from last night to come back.

That puts everyone we threw last night back in play.
Lachenmayer for one time through the order, which would hopefully be at least 2 innings.

Benge for an inning, maybe for an extra out or two.

We can't really save anyone, but I feel like some guys will be pushed down the list because they can potentially start later, like Ricken or Paz.

Basically everyone that throws is going to need to get one or two outs more than normal.

But according to posters on here he should just tape it up and everything would be ok.


One guy specifically said tape it up and get back out there catching.

Which would have been weird to not only put a hurt player behind the plate but also lose the DH spot in the process.
