re: Regarding Jay’s late inning decisions

I would bet the reason Merrifield ran for Beloso and Kling for Jobert is for defensive reasons....

While Tre saved a metric crapton of errors at 1st this year, in general defense really isn't [i]that [/i]important at the position because even bad defensive 1B can scoop fairly well. This past season was an anomaly in how bad we were at throwing accurately to 1st so it highlighted Tre's agility mor...

Why are their recruiting classes ranked so high yet the production isn't anywhere close?
Why do so few players progress the longer they're in the program?
Why do so many of the freshmen who play well regress/plateau?
Why do so many pitchers have issues with walks?
Why are clearly subpar players ...

Seems odd only LSU's would be overrated. I believe Vandy, Arkansas, State, Florida, Tennessee, and Ole Miss all have at least 2 top-15 classes in the past 3 seasons, most of them far lower than LSU's. What am I missing?...

The situation with Hampton will forever piss me off. Gio's been hurt since the 2nd game of the season, no one has taken hold of the CF spot, yet Hampton can't get more than a few PHs while Drew fricking Bianco is getting starts? Maybe Hampton is the absolute worst player on the field during practice ...

Y’all pimped all off season that Cade Beloso was the best returning hitter
A Cade Beloso caliber hitter should never be the best returning hitter on an LSU baseball team. Never

[quote]The people hoping for a big run at end of the season. I feel like that’s the rally call of any bad coach- “Just wait, they’ll close out the season on run and make it”

[quote]Agree. A drop off this far is related to talent.

Hasn't Cain brought in 3 consecutive top-5 classes tho? I'm not exactly sure how many of those are guys who didn't make it to campus, but that seems like plenty of talent to not be one of the worst teams in the conference.
Heck,...

There doesn't seem to be much development. Seems lately if an LSU player shows up and plays well as a FR, they're not gonna get much better (if they do at all). As well as most of these guys played as FR, you would've expected them to go supernova as SO or JR.
* Daniel Cabrera - better as a FR th...

[quote]Overall in mlb in 2020 59.5% of homers were solo homers. 2019 had the same percentage. Now do leadoff hitters in mlb hit more or less I don’t know.

It's certainly possible just due to being the only hitters 100% guaranteed to bat with the bases empty at least once per game....

[quote]I agree, but some people believe if he gets moved he will suddenly start hitting three run homers.

I'm fine with him batting 1st, 2nd, or 4th. Those are the most important spots and he's the best hitter on the team. You want him to get as many PAs as possible so 1st and 2nd are t...

How do you adjust line up to correct this?[/quote]
Morgan
Crews
Beloso
Doughty
Dugas
Drost/Gio/Sanford
Thompson
Milazzo
Arnold
I don't have an issue with Crews leading off (he's our Ronald Acuna) but the 2-hole is a good spot for him as well and it separates ...

Relying on a crazy hot streak to carry the team into postseason is a CPM staple. It's become so commonplace, many fans just expect the team to do this whole "tread water until mid-April, then get hot" routine and forget when they don't come....

What's funny is through 6 games, LSU actually leads the SEC in sacrifice hits with 5! Yet we've scored the 4th-fewest runs and are 6 runs behind league-average.
Though LSU hasn't had any sacrifice flies yet so maybe that's the issue. But Ole Miss and Tennessee have scored the most runs in league ...
