Pitchers did enough for us to win those games imo. And we were missing Schimdt and Cooper. In fact, maybe hire a hitting coach.

hitting was not the problem for this team this year once the freshmen came in and took the portal guys spots. Fielding and consistently throwing strikes were the main issues.

Went and looked back at Yeskie coached team records in bigger parks during the post season and found it pretty interesting.

Movie was ruined at the end. Neil was far too disciplined to not escape when he had the chance just to go get revenge on Waingro.

nah it was a great twist in the plot because it showed that Chris while being madly in loved and a train wreck personal life was the most disciplined of all.

Realistically how was it even possible for Waingro to escape Neil in Heat?

Watched this masterpiece last night and that scene outside the diner alway didn’t sit right with me. 3 guys covering the corners in the parking lot and Neil right on top of you with a gun just seems impossible for someone to escape that scenario without being notice by somebody.

Eric Martin or Devery Henderson.
Martin definitely had the better career but Henderson resume is legendary not to mention he was a solid contributor on two of the best saints teams of all time.

while LSU was in the middle of the CWS run and as a result didn’t have a chance to recruit targets before they committed elsewhere

part of it is true when Tennessee actually did this twice to LSU in ‘23 and ‘25 for top pitchers in the portal. Some of your top portal guys are playing in regionals and supers as well so when you’re in Omaha you’re focused is on that and not giving 100% recruiting to those guys. After Omaha if you’re playing in the championship series you only have 1 week to focus solely on recruiting the portal while most have had 2 weeks to host and get guys.
