re: Which LSU names immediately evoke one single image?

Posted by ffishstik on 7/17/23 at 4:07 pm

A lot of them already said, but I haven't seen mention of Jabari Smith with the funky fake behind the back dunk on Arizona in 2000. Trey McClure's triple play I know he is known for being a sensational receiver, but Jarvis Landry on special teams against Auburn. He hit the returner so hard tha...

That's a huge discrepancy between the PG and MLB rankings....

re: Which baseball commits do we need to be on the lookout for in the MLB Draft?

Posted by ffishstik on 7/5/23 at 10:57 am

This is baseball. The key is what the class looks like AFTER the draft. Plus, we only have 14 commits compared to 21 for Arkansas. We get the majority of those and do work in the portal again, we will be just fine. ...

re: What's been your postseason superstition?

Posted by ffishstik on 6/23/23 at 12:59 am

I have two. I have a wooden Free Beer token from Upstream Brewery that I rub during the Supers to get us back to Omaha. I also have several shirts that have meaning and have been lucky. I have the t-shirt that they gave out after the 2000 championship and 2009, the P&G "Geaux Tigers" t-shirt from Ba...

re: Hear me out on this pitching rotation idea

Posted by ffishstik on 6/21/23 at 11:10 pm

I'm not sure what their normal approach is for pitching, but Skenes would likely have had a side bullpen day today or tomorrow anyway. That's a limited pitch count and lower intensity than an actual game, but still, he would have likely gotten some throws in, so throwing him isn't crazy and he has h...

re: Have they announced home team yet?

Posted by ffishstik on 6/20/23 at 11:29 pm

Pretty sure that we will be home tomorrow because they have been home twice and we have been road twice, then a coin flip for Thursday's game....

We should be home. Wake has been home in both games, we have been the road team twice. ...

My buddy Gerard (Godfather1 on here) sent me a text last night that this would be a great drinking game, take a shot every time they say "Velo". I told him we would be in the ER by the stretch....

re: How late did the OSU v SHS game go?

Posted by ffishstik on 6/5/23 at 8:22 am

They do have a couple of guys left with some starts and average ERAs. They aren't quite as spent as we would have liked them to be and the game last night went way quicker than I had hoped. They did use their closer again and his total pitch count is up in the 40-50 range. ...

re: Hosts getting beat regularly this year

Posted by ffishstik on 6/4/23 at 11:24 am

Auburn should not have been a host, but I'm sure that had nothing to do with Cohen chairing the committee. I mean, he did leave the room when they discussed Auburn. That aside, there is a lot of parity, which is good for College Baseball. They do need to fix the RPI. On a positive note for us...

re: What Jay should have done at the end of the game.

Posted by ffishstik on 4/26/23 at 9:30 am

No, when we had two on and nobody out and Pearson at the plate, the obvious play to me at the time was for Pearson to bunt the runners over and have Crews up with two runners in scoring position. Instead, Pearson struck out. But in hindsight, I think Jay made the right call by not bunting there beca...

Posted by ffishstik on 4/12/23 at 11:01 am

You could just buy the ticket book and have all of the games, that way you know that you have tickets for any game that you want and, if you feel like it is worth the effort, you can sell the tix to the games that you don't want to go to. Aside from that, you can get them on secondary market or outs...

re: Does LSU drop from number 1?

Posted by ffishstik on 4/8/23 at 11:55 am

Probably not. They played the #6 team on the road and split the series. If they just look at the score from Friday that may swing some votes, but anyone who paid attention would know that the rain delay and the overall situation caused that cluster. It would be nice to see LSU go wire to wire as...
