Great season for the dawgs…not a troll intended in this thread (except maybe the high school field yall play on at home :lol:)

In the regional and super, UGA hit 25 homeruns over 5 games, which produced something like 36 of their 54 runs. Get to Omaha…just 5 homeruns in 4 games. Run production drops by 7 runs per game.

It seems like teams that focus their offense around homeruns just don’t get it done in Omaha. Not to say that they can’t…Tennessee powered their way to a championship just a couple years ago and LSU hit for power in 23 pretty well. Just seems like more often than not, these teams aren’t the ones that get it done. Those types of teams can absolutely get you there as you often need to mash your way through a regional if your pitching staff isn’t on their game…it just feels like once you’re there, it’s just who gets hot at the right time at the plate or whoever has the all around team who can do it all combined with having deep solid pitching staffs. Usually need a little luck somewhere along the line too.

Oklahoma is 39th in homeruns this year but mashed an impressive 8 bombs so far in 3 games. North Carolina is 47th on the year and hit just 2 in their 3 games. So you got the team that has gotten hot and is mashing all of a sudden vs the team who is built to win without the bombs…built for the big park in Omaha.


Just a few notes on the past winners:

A current SEC team has won 7 of the last 8 championships - last non SEC winner was Oregon State 2018 (no champion in 2019). A current SEC team was also the runner up in 6 of those 8 years.

2025 - LSU hit 4, all by Jared Jones (39th in country)
2024 - TN hit 10 (led country)
2023 - LSU hit 7 (2nd in country)
2022 - Ole Miss 9 (12th in country)
2021 - Miss St hit 7 (55th in country)
Likely has more to do with being in a dogshit conference where they can just out talent everybody on a week to week basis. :rolleyes:

LSU, as bad as it was, would be winning or in the top couple teams in any other conference.

It would be fricking fantastic if anybody other than Curiel could find a big hit at some point tonight. We've had 3-4 chances to really blow this game open and haven't done it yet. Letting them hang around.

Every. Single. Call. has went their way
Here comes the LSU baseball we know this year.
Just made a thread to answer this for you.

Short answer: 8 games with a lead/tie after 6 innings.

2 games where we had an early lead.

7 games we never led.

Games with lead late in SEC games

We held a lead or were tied after the 6th inning in 8 of our 17 conference losses.

7 games that we never led at any point.
Runs scored and result

Georgia - 8 L

South Carolina - 7 W

Pretty unreal to be 3-5 over an 8 game stretch while scoring 8 runs in every single loss :lol:




Prior to the Miss St series when so many of the young guys starting getting more starts…

A&M - 2 L
A&M - 2 L
A&M - 4 L

Miss - 7 L
Miss - 2 L
Miss - 3 L

Tenn - 16 W
Tenn - 1 L

OU - 3 L

OU - 7 W

Vandy - 16 W
Vandy - 3 L
Vandy - 12 L



7 games we lost where we scored 7 runs or more. That shouldn’t happen. Win 3 or 4 of those and we have a completely different outlook on the rest of this season. We could be sitting at 12-14 or 13-13 and still have a reasonable shot at postseason play. Instead we are 9-17 and basically eliminated. Pitching has been unbelievably bad.

It took LSU 17 different pitchers (4 had to go twice) over the course of 3 days to get through 29 innings with 31 hits allowed, 22 walks allowed (plus HBP's which don't show up in ESPN app and I'm not searching through entire series to find them -- I know there were several) and 32 runs. 8 pitchers had an appearance where they recorded 0 or 1 out. :lol:




Defensively, we had 7 errors and I'd love to know how many base runners Ms St had advance on wild pitches or passed balls, but again don't want to take the time to look through all 3 games play by plays to find them. Guarantee it was at least 8 or 9 bases given up.
Got the leadoff on in a torrential downpour, then the next 2 back to back fail to get a sac bunt down and strike out.

Let MS ST tie the game at 7 on a walk, an error, a passed ball, and a hip all in the same inning.

Can't execute simple shite, get beat. Period.
From what I’ve been told (from local coach who received the email that was posted a couple pages ago), this actually has happened twice in the last week. The one in the OP, and another one in a 2nd round playoff game. That one was bottom of 7th, bases loaded, 2 outs, 3 hole hitter at the plate with the home team down 2. Base hit could tie or walk the game off. Same play…called for an out to end the ball game.

The LHSAA released that email that said both were called incorrectly, neither should have been outs, and both catchers should have been ejected. Which would also mean missing their next playoff game if not the entire playoffs. Coach should be ejected as well, in my opinion.


Now from what I’ve heard, which could be completely false and I have no real proof or anything, just word of mouth, is that the catcher for Pine Prairie who threw the ball in the OP, actually was coached some in travel ball by the coach of the other team who got away with it to end the playoff game.
With Yamin looking best behind the plate and finding a few hits today, I feel like he has to have a shot. Which means either Serna or Arrambide have to come out of lineup, or put one of them at 1st if they can handle it.
UCLA will fade into nothing-ness next year also.

As of now (like 3:00 left in game) all 6 players who have scored for UCLA are seniors

Can Serna or Arrambide play 1st?

Yamin definitely looked best behind the plate.

But hard to take out Serna the way he has hit or Arrambide after today.
Pitching staff likely has their best weekend of the entire season. Good to see the figuring it out a little.

Feel like we had about 8 passed balls/wild pitches, several of which allowed some runs to score on the next swing.

Then the defense allowed 7 unearned runs between yesterday and today. Out of 10 total. Gotta figure that shite out maybe we’ll get rolling if the pitching starts to show up consistently.

Not gonna be able to depend on 11 HRs per weekend in a real park, but take what we can get for now!
damn passed ball costs another run.

Got frickin 3 runs allowed by York and Arrambide.
Ball goes straight through the catcher's mitt for a dropped 3rd. Sometimes it's just not your night :lol:
Wasted opportunity by York and Milan. :banghead:

3 singles and a walk only gets 1 run. :banghead:
