re: LSU 2 @ Ole Miss 12 Final

Players don’t swing at pitches that aren’t strikes. How hard is that to understand.
How much NIL money do you think LSU baseball players are getting. I’d love to hear what you think these guys are getting. I can guarantee you’re WAY off on your numbers. LSU has won 2 recent championships due to Louisiana kids on the team that contributed big time and wasn’t focused on the NIL money. You would be surprised how little guys like Anderson, Dugas, Beloso, Guidry, Brown, Jobert, Pearson get in NIL.

I like that approach a lot. First fastball he’s seen and jumped on it. Kinda like when he hit the bomb against Vandy on 3-0 count. Nobody complained about that. He’s got the most power let him attack when he gets his pitch. Kids ran into some bad luck hitting balls square and other team making espn plays on it. Last 5 games it’s happened. Happy to see other guys stepping up when he’s not finding hits. That’s the sign of the team coming together

Brown has been pitched around all weekend. He barreled balls up consistently and has walked 6 times in 3 games and 2 stolen bases. Hit a ball yesterday 400ft and one today to the wall the LF made hell of a play. It’s not him. Just my opinion
Brown really has 1 error on the season. That’s the overthrow to 3rd base he made during the McNeese game. The other error he’s charged with is when a flare hit over 1st base that’s spinning to the wall, brown running full speed to get to it, slips while grabbing it. They charged him the error because the guy scored from 2nd which he would have scored anyway. Both Curiel and Brown are very good players, it just so happens that Brown took a big step forward this year. He doesn’t look clumsy in the outfield, because of his speed and breaks on the ball, he actually makes difficult plays look easy. I overheard several scouts talking in the fall saying Brown won’t be on the board after 40th pick.I'm just excited we have 3 very good athletes playing the outfield at LSU.
Curiel didn’t hit LHP good last year either. Look at his splits.
Jay missed big time in the portal this year. Caraway, Dardar, Simpson are not performing. Stats prove it. Is Pearson hurt, why hasn’t he had at bats since ULL.

He called brown off. Very easy to see. Brown pulled up.

2025 you had Pearson, Brown and Frey all battling for playing time. When they entered the game to pinch hit, it wasn’t about their stats, it was about doing what was needed at that moment to help the team win weather it was Sac fly, grounder to right side to move a runner to 3rd, etc…That’s the mentality you need from everyone. It meant more to them for the team to win. If you want success follow that mentality those 3 guys had.

re: Watch Jay in the dugout

Maybe this team does have leaders, but it’s taking players longer to buy into the system. Jay has mentioned numerous times this teams leadership is one of the best he’s ever had. Baseball is a game you have to play with confidence and a chip on your shoulder. Failure will happen, and players need to learn how to handle it. Someone “leader” yelling and cussing to motivate a player is not what’s going to work in the dugout or behind closed doors. Leading by example is what will get the players to buy into the team philosophy. Some of these players need to learn how to adjust when shite doesn’t go their way. If they can’t adjust, next man up.Can it be corrected, sure, will it, let’s find out.

Go back before the season started. Hardin was 2-22 with 15 K’s
In the Spring Theres a reason he wasn’t playing.
Evans was great tonight. How bout let Jay do the coaching and win us another Natty.
Brown didn’t have much to show but still had a good day. Barreled balls up, walked Twice, sometimes the ball doesn’t fall right. But you’re right, this team doesn’t need to rely on just one guy, there is depth everywhere. Gonna be fun to watch all year.

Are you saying he only had 127 at bats last year? Were the other pitchers throwing with their feet? If I remember right he had close to 300 ABs. Still I trust Jay with a lineup

The kid has 2 errors in 3 years. Will be a top 2 round draft pick after this year. He’s made great plays in the outfield and because of 1 play his freshman year he scares you in the outfield. I trust Jay Johnson playing him over your concerns
Was bored at work this morning so went through Scubas stats so far from spring and combined them with fall for some insight. Very interesting.
Stans-fall 8-33 spring 7-23
Curiel-fall 8-21 spring 3-20
Brown-fall 12-30 spring 7-24
York-fall 8-28 spring 7-23
Milam-fall 6-30 spring 4-23
Caraway fall-11-37 spring 3-21
Arrambide fall-15-33 spring 2-22
Reeves fall-8-39 spring 8-24
Braun fall-5-31 spring 10-22
Pearson fall-4-32 spring 7-23
Simpson fall-9-38 spring 6-25
Dardar fall-6-37 spring 5-23
Claus fall-6-34 spring 4-23
Ruckett fall11-30 spring 2-16
Yamin fall-8-32 spring 3-19
Serna fall-7-41 spring 3-20
Hardin fall-11-32 spring 2-20
Patrick fall-2-18 spring 6-23
