I saw some highlights of Landon Mack, stuff looks very good.

I like the stable of arms we have coming back, but I think adding 1 elite weekend-level arm as well as some lefties for the pen would be just right.

These commentators can see Trackman in their booth, correct? They referenced it in the first game today. There’s NO way that system doesn’t show the same BS we’re all seeing. And frick them for never even mentioning it.

On a passed ball strike 3 to the “outside” of the line, the 1B uses the green bag and the runner should use the white bag

That 1-1 pitch was definitely a strike. Good grief this ump SUCKS

I get football is important...but how is baseball not a bigger priority for LSU with this?

Clipped from an article quoting Keli Zinn from LSU:

"LSU’s plan for year one is to allocate 75% of its $20.5 million to football, 15% to men’s basketball and 5% to women’s basketball. The remaining 5% will be split across all other sports."

Feel like that called third strike on Hernandez almost hit him it was so inside

I went back and watched Kirn's start against Kentucky. He does hide the ball well, and the most concerning thing for me is that he has a good change up that he relies on often. That's really what I've seen as our kryptonite(see Texas A&M series-3 lefties with good change ups). That being said, we've seen the best the country has to offer on Friday nights all year and come out really well in those games with Kade going for us, so I like our chances.

I also wonder if Jay has the gumption to actually move Curiel down in the lineup. He's way different vs lefties than righties. Frey out the gate might make Kirn/WV pucker up a bit!

Just out of curiosity... what ever happened to Connor Benge? Hasn't seen game action since late April. I feel like I heard Deven Sheerin is close to being back from injury a couple of weeks ago, are there any updates? Grant Fontenot has had several encouraging outings heading into postseason.

I know we basically have our guys going into postseason..but I feel like we really have 7 reliable arms.. Kade, Eyanson, Evans, Cowan, Shores, and I'd add Noot and Mayers in there as making a late push to contribute for sure.

Just thinking how huge it could be if Fontenot continued his recent performance or if Deven made it back and was good, and then just curious where Benge disappeared to is all. 1 of these could make an 8th reliable arm potentially.. (I've heard Jay say having 8 reliable arms is what's needed in postseason play).

Of course others like Cooper Williams, Mavrick Rizy, Conner Ware or William Schmidt could also all contribute, but have been varying levels of inconsistent and I don't see Jay relying on them unless necessary (other than Coop and Ware for lefties specifically).

6+ ERA starter completely shut us down. Jay always loves to deflect off on to the quality of the opposing pitcher(s) and not bad hitting. Can’t wait to hear his comments after this. He’s supposed to be an offensive coach……
