The fact that little douche was talking so much shite to Jones was hilarious. You could even see Bear laughing at him with his little man syndrome.

If you ask half this board, yes. We just lucky. Sky is falling, Trump lost, water is no longer wet, and fire everyone.

Point is, these miserable fricks on this board will find some way to spin this to say CJJ sucks and LSU isn’t deserving of winning this series.

In other breaking news, water is wet.

Anderson pitched fine. Some bloops and errors got him, thats really it. We just didnt hit. It happens

To Auburn’s credit, they were living off soft contact on Anderson. It was definitely planned that way to try and minimize Ks. The ball just fell in the right spot on a lot of soft contact hits. They won’t make a living that way, but it worked last night.

it's a whole lot more involved than just the number of pitches.

All of this.

It goes all the way back to when these kids are 10 playing in travel ball tournaments.

There are three things that are imperative to arm care. Mechanics, conditioning, and rest. Every other metric is just noise.

Pitch count gets thrown around a lot these days, but the real issue is fatigue setting in and mechanics faltering the deeper these kids go into the pitch count.

I encourage anyone with a young pitcher to check out the work Brent Pourciau over at Top Velocity has done on this. Dude is an actual wizard.

Easton bats suck arse in the bbcor era. Now composite era on the other hand….

Had to have a set of nuts on you to play the corners during the orange and blue Easton CXN days. IYKYK

He’s struggled with location, but more than that is he only seems to have two pitches with he secondary pitch being a slider that typically moves outside the zone. Not spotting the fastball is one thing, but if you have nothing but a slider, you’ll never get good hitters to swing and miss at offspeed. He needs to develop a curve and/or change that stays around the zone to get guys off the fastball.

Shores is getting knocked around, not sure that’s an indicator of the whole staff. Nor is how they played yesterday. Most of these kids are seeing their first action on the road in the SEC. That’s a tall task for it to be at Texas.

It’s also March. If things are still looking like this in late April, then you can make this statement. Step back from the ledge.

This exact thread gets started every single year.

You’re 100% correct, but there will still be the usual shite posters who can’t seem to grasp the concept.

What is DEI? What you're describing does not align with my understanding of DEI. Can you define what DEI is?

---

This is a great question actually, considering most don’t truly understand it. DEI, at the federal contracting level, is a requirement to document candidates and hires that equate to an ethnic group’s percentage of the population. There are several different ways it gets enforced. Mostly in actual contract and/or grant awards. As a contractor, you have to prove that your hiring practices align with that policy (this is an over simplification, but it’s difficult to explain in a short text format). Basically you end up curtailing your recruiting practices to try to meet these demands and it results in losing out on qualified candidates.

If you're the employer, can't you determine what hiring practices you use?

---

You can to certain degree. But as I mentioned above, if you operate as a federal contractor, you will 100% lose out on work.

The other part of this is “woke” corporations who enforce the same type of rule on their contractors. Usually it’s cloaked in some Diverse Spend clause within contracts. Basically a percent of a contractor’s spend must be on DEI personnel.
