Larson wanted an OF starting spot, he wasn't getting that here entering year 3

He transferred to Texas who gave him said OF starting spot, they replaced him late in games early on with a much better OF...then he lost that job and got moved to occasional DH/1B player

Same thing would have happened here, he just probably would have won the 1B job outright a lot sooner but Braun probably takes that 1B from him here. He was a very average at best hitter who wasnt a full time starter this year in the SEC. He didnt have a single HR and only 2 2B in 76 plate appearances in SEC play

Have we made any traction to the freshman catcher at LSU-E from Catholic or is he sticking around there for 1 more year?

isnt this the dude who fought a teammate on the field after a game and got kicked off the team? lol

---

He was the final out of a 3 game weekend sweep, threw his bat emotionally in frustration, a teammate got in his face about it and they had a shoving match

After talking about with coaches he said he wasnt coming back next year so he was "no longer on the team"

You're right, i was looking at baseball reference and for whatever reason they have his hitting stats for this season but only fielding for 2025 (not 2026), where he played 2B.

Not getting amped for a pitcher from Gonzaga. Will wait to see how he looks with my own eyes. Not falling for that shite again.

Kindly shut up:

Against Texas State, Oklahoma, Washington, Saint Mary's and Oregon this year here is his stat line (B10 or tournament teams only there):

10.2 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 17 K, 4 BB, 2 HBP, 0 WP, picked up 2 saves

Dude is legit, you have no idea what you're talking about. Where the fk do you think Paul Skenes or Anthony Eyanson came from?

I saw Ryan Costello is in the portal from Maryland.

He actually didnt lose his starting spot despite an abysmal conference season from him where he hit like .150. I guess they told him he didnt have a starting spot on lockdown for next season.

64analytics has him ranked #39 overall right now which is pretty laughable after the season he just had where he totally bombed in B10 play. That high school ranking is propping him a bit still as they are listing him as a FR on there which gives higher weight to HS ranking.

64 still has some tweaking to do in their ranking formulas I think :lol:

You would have to seed the entire field in case you didnt have 8 1 seed winners from the regionals

I.E. say 7 1 seeds win regionals, then 7 2 seeds, 1 3 seed, 1 4 seed

Who among the 2 seeds host a super? Where does rest of 2, 3 and 4 seeds get sent (need that regardless I guess of 7 or less 1 seed regional winners or not)? etc...

Does the 4 seed automatically get sent to the highest remaining national seed regional winner? Or by "luck of the original draw" gets sent to the 1 2 seed hosting?

Looks like Louque DH'd to start the season then played 1B by the time April rolled around for rest of year, obviously to keep him from throwing too much with the TJ back in May of last year. I know he played SS in high school (obviously most position players we recruit do) but seems like he could project as a 3B, or 1B.

Didnt realize he was as big as he was, 6'3 210. Keep in mind he is a RH hitter

I’m starting to wonder where in Atlanta you are going? Black people are fleeing city of Atlanta and have been for two decades now. How on earth do you think the suburbs have gotten so bad in the last 20 years?

I've lived in the ATL area for about 35 years of my life now and what you have said blanket statement wise is way, way off.

I've been in Smyrna/Vinings since 2016 specifically and not once have I, my wife or family felt unsafe here.

I grew up in Clayton and Henry co from 1987-2005; Clayton county started to turn very ghetto in mid-late 90s, we moved to Henry co (Eagles Landing) in 96. Went to Eagles Landing high which was one of the better schools in the state back then, not quite on East Cobb levels but a really good school, unfortunately north henry county has turned a bit ghetto over the last decade especially now, south henry county is a different story, very stark differences there. My parents moved from our house in Eagles Landing to FL back in 2020.

Smryna/Vinings is still a very nice area, East Cobb, Roswell, Alpharetta, go up I85 enough; etc...plenty of very nice areas in metro ATL. You just need to know what you're talking about. It's a gigantic area. South of the city in Clayton/north henry are areas to avoid, beyond that still pretty decent. Northwest, north, and go up I85 enough are all nice areas to live in. South of I-20 is basically a no no around ATL.

People who DONT live here can get a very misconstrued perception of it if you only ever come to the airport, stay around there (which is ghetto) and see a video of something like this happening on Marta which no one we know even rides :lol:

Ultimately the bats let them down in the regional, only scored 13 runs in 3 games with 2 games against the 4 seed.

They had some notable bats at the top but doesnt seem like the depth was necessarily there for them throughout the lineup this season.

All in all, they had an elite season, but baseball sometimes is a funny game, you get cold, other teams are on fire...and #1 overall seed doesnt mean much if you have a slew of your worst games of the season.

We will dismantle A&M this season, it won't be pretty for them
