re: Beck was the real hero last night

It will be interesting ti see if Beck gets some starts moving forward

Southland POTY last season

A 176 wRC+ a year ago. This is really freaking good.

Jay obviously thinks he can hit by inserting him into the game in crunch time situations his last two appearances.
quote:

Wasn’t he predicted first rounder during the season?


It was definitely a false start
quote:

don't think that number is accurate. On D1, he's 110 wRC+ today.


Fangraphs has him at 94 wRC+ for the year. I’ve noticed this year that FG and D1 have disagreed on metrics such as FIP and now wRC+

I don’t watch many games

But Brown has a sub 100 wRC+ for the year, that’s below average

Why should he automatically be an everyday lineup guy?
quote:

Tommy batted second last year which worked. Laviolette, A&M bats second and Caglianone batted second for Florida last year. I would prefer Dickinson or Milam at #2 over Jones.


Are you not noticing a trend here?

Like 90% of todays lineups college thru professional ranks feature the team’s best hitter at second in the lineup.
quote:

Any lineup with Jones in the two hole is straight up retarded


Please, go on …

Why do y’all want to take one of only two dependable bullpen arms out of the bullpen?


Right now they’re only getting Cowan into one game per series.

So the general thought is getting 6 good innings is better than 3 great innings.

However, I don’t think you can make this move until you have Guidry back.

I do think Shores is a better 1-2 inning arm right now than starter. He was starting to thrive in that role as a freshman before getting injured.
quote:

Is that good?


It seems good

But some of these posters don’t need a metric to tell them anything
quote:

Moneyball geeks


You do realize this is how every baseball department operates from the college level through the professional ranks, right?

quote:

Oh great another dumb acronim


I stopped reading right there

:lol:
According to fangraphs, with a minimum innings pitched of 20 innings,
Casan Evans leads all of college baseball in FIP (1.61), followed by Cowan (1.69) then Eyanson (1.85)
Fangraphs

Cowan is also second in the country in K-BB% behind Tennessee’s Liam Doyle. While Anderson (10), Evans (11) and Eyanson (17) all come in the top 20.

LSU has 4 elite arms headlining the staff
quote:

Not sure I’ve seen a Freshman to date in LSU baseball History look as much like a veteran


Just four years ago Dylan Crews posted a 163 wRC+ through a full freshman season

Curiel is at 149

How quickly people forget
Crews finished his freshman season with a 163 wRC+

Through non-conference play and 3 games against the worst SEC team, Curiel has a 156 wRC+

To see them cook in front of you, its pretty much Ichiban.

:cheers:
Haven’t had hibachi in years so looking for recommendations on where to go.

Looking for a great experience.

Is it Ichiban or bust for BR?
quote:

It’s so nice that we have enough depth again to have legitimate debates over who will start where.


And coaches that can develop the talent
Pyburn is going to start over Reliford at SDE

The cheetah package should be fun

Dom over the ball, Reliford and Butler at ends.

Then a mix of Pyburn, Payton, Perk and Whit as pass rushers
Keys plays passing downs with Whit

West plays rush downs?

They obviously made a promise to the Weeks family
quote:

Keys and Weeks need to start.


That’s a small LB duo

West will start, imo.

quote:

Harold either needs to lose some weight for safety or gain some for end


I do too think Perk could be a nasty safety. But he really doesn’t have the build to add weight to pay edge. He’s likely 6’1 at best.

BK says they want the 3rd LB, or star, to be able to play man, drop in zone or rush the passer.

Perkins probably gives you the best option for that at Star next to the Weeks bros
