➡️ Quick Announcement…as of right now, I will not be doing the LSU Baseball podcast this year.
👉 Things may change, but as of right now, that's the plan for the 2024 season
👏 Thanks for the support..and Geaux Tigers!
I was on the 1997
@LSUbaseball
team:
Friday vs Alabama: Lost 6-4
Saturday vs Alabama: lost 28-2 (not a typo)
Sunday vs Alabama: Won 6-4…won SEC regular season title with that W
🗣️ We forgot about 28-2 once we left the park. We knew it didn’t matter! Momentum…???
I guess LSU has more pitchers than just Skenes. I mean wow…get shutout and take that charter home.
#LSU
🚨 LSU starting pitching is absolutely dominating the CWS.
X factor today….Herring. If Hurd or Skenes start I think Herring will bridge to the other. 6-9 outs from the FR LHP could be massive. Not sure on Coop’s health status.
My SEC predictions..
SEC WEST
1. LSU
2. Arkansas
3. A&M
4. State
5. Ole Miss
6. Bama
7. Auburn
SEC EAST
1. Tennessee
2. Florida
3. South Carolina
4. Vandy
5. UGA
6. Mizzou
7. Kentucky
I’m ready for it, hit me up. Agree/disagree??
Lowder vs Skenes delivered! How many times do these big games and massive matchups deliver like tonight?!?!?!! Amazing!
This dude…official

LSU PITCHING:
➡️ 25 IP
🚨 20 innings with 0 runs
🔥 10 ER = 3.60 ERA
🤷🏻♂️ 2 innings cost you 2 games…BUT
🗣️ Pitching is good enough to get you to CWS…may wanna look at another area of the team!
@radiomanday
@DSports24
@Lsumab11
@J_Cross2146
Fun fact…new
@LSUbaseball
pitching coach, Nate Yeskie,
@NateYeskie
was at the 1996 LSU regional as a player for UNLV!! Can’t find the box score to see if he pitched!!
🤔 I know what team won the game and who closed it out for LSU on the mound though!!! LOL
#LSU
I’ve doubted this team several times this year but their ability to fight back and not give up is uncanny! Never doubted their ability…but some of the situations they find themselves in seem too tough at times.
➡️ they just continue to fight…IT’S SPECIAL !
Collins, magnificent job, by closing it out. All curveballs in the 9th to get it done. NOT the prettiest, but in the end, a W is all that matters!!
#LSU
LSU will host Kentucky next weekend as the Wildcats beat Indiana twice to advance.
➡️ LSU took 2 of 3 from UK earlier this year, but they definitely present some challenges.
🎯 LSU’s pitching is in a completely different place than it was earlier in the year vs UK
Jay Johnson and
@LSUbaseball
pick up UCLA LHP
@gagejump1
in the portal. Thatcher Hurd donating NIL money is on his Twitter. Sure Hurd has some sway in him coming. From his Twitter….
@LSUbaseball
piling up the LHP’s big time!!
HELL YEAH Thatcher Hurd….straight FILTH!!!
🗣️ looked great …AGGRESSION from 1st pitch
🚨 Hitters made Auburn staff look way better than they are
🔥 Shutout in SEC play is crazy!
🙏 glad
@tremorgann
got on the bus to the park today!!
#LSU
Keys for Hurd tomorrow:
➡️ If & when Wes Johnson calls Fastballs, he must throw it for Strikes
🎯Breaking Balls prob 60% 🙄 must be down in zone in plus counts
🔑 Walks…must be kept to minimum
I hope the
@OleMissBSB
official scorer woke up this beautiful morning and realized the error in their ways! (Pun intended)
🎯 penalized their own SS/2nd for near impossible plays
💰 take hits/RBI’s away from
@LSUbaseball
⌛️ 24hrs to change it….do the right thing!
#LSU
These 2 guys have great futures…but Kling and Jones don’t really offer anything in the lineup right now. That may be harsh, but just going how they look in their AB’s….it’s rough.
BIG GAME 1 WIN for
@LSUbaseball
. Dominant performances on the mound by Skenes and Herring.
✅ starting pitching was key
✅ Herring save the pen for the weekend
🚨 TANKS with the HUGE BLAST
#LSU
B/C Jay is Jay and I will be 100% wrong but facing a RHP today, my lineup:
➡️ FLOYD…But JJ prob
Go Hurd….cause. LOL.
1. Pearson - LF
2. Crews
3. White
4. Morgan -1B
5. Travinski
6. Beloso - DH
7. Thompspn
8. Jobert - RF
9. Dugas
Bottom line, Coach JJ ain’t messing around. We all know this….all you have to do is look around the SEC and the SEC West! If you don’t improve, and hustle your butt off on the portal/trail, better get off the tracks ‘cause that train is coming. He’s all in…LFG
@LSUbaseball
What an effort and amazing comeback by
@LSUbaseball
. Hitting is contagious and momentum is real! That’s stuff of legends…potentially. Great job by
@Fontenot_28
fabulous job keeping the Tigers in the game.
SEC Teams in the Regionals:
Eliminated:
Auburn
Vandy
Advanced:
Tennessee
South Carolina
Need to win 1 game:
Alabama
LSU
Texas A&M
Kentucky
Need to win 2 or 3 times:
Arkansas
Florida
I’ll say it ….HORRIBLE pitch calling by Wes Johnson….6 straight CB’s to a pinch hitter..and a single on the 6th one!!
➡️ Kid hasn’t seen a pitch in 3 plus hours….Collins throws 93!!
AMAZING job by
@LSUbaseball
. Pitching was outstanding tonight.
🚨 CWS here come the Tigers!
🗣️ Gotta love seeing Crews cap off his career with the big 2B in the 9th.
The last two innings are what worry me about LSU moving forward. Hitters can’t get a ton going and the pen has to get 6 outs with a lead!!
➡️ can they do it…YES, are they consistent..NO
🚨 this will also lose you a Super Regional at home. Just sayin’….
What an AMAZING year for PAUL SKENES in a
@LSUbaseball
uniform. Tough to sum up how good he has been this year.
🔥 He’s exceeded the high expectations that were placed on him this year…..more to come hopefully!
LSU vs Florida Game 1 🧵…
Florida:
🐊 Sproat: nasty 3 pitch mix, FB: 96-100 with movement, SL, and CH in any count….lots of right on right Changeups
🔑 Gotta handle Rivera, dont’ let bottom of the order beat you
🏟️ Keep the ball in the park, almost all of CWS runs via the HR
@LSUbaseball
is pulling zero punches and stating straight facts and 🔥🔥 with the new additions!
@LSUCoachJ
is building a monster and this is the beginning. I’m predicting 2 more 🏆🏆 before the end of the 2020’s. 😤😤
Floyd coming back out for 7th.
Whatever you think of Ty Floyd. He has been outstanding after the first couple inning. MASSIVE job by him.
#LSU
RESPECT!!
Game 3 on deck…time to win a series:
🚨 LSU is 31-0 when holding opponents to 5 runs or less
🧮 LSU is 37-3 when leading after 6 innings
➡️ those losses were to A&M/Nicholls/Miss State
Need these 2 guys today…..⬇️
After talking to
@HuntPalmer88
on
@1045espn
…not trying to overreact or be a victim of the moment…BUT
🚨if Hurd can throw like that 2 more times, LSU should be in Omaha…and I don’t even think that’s his ceiling!!
@sthorn_23
➡️ Things Crews does better than anyone on Tennessee’s baseball team:
✅ BA (93 pts higher)
✅ RBI’s
✅ Slg %
✅ OB %
✅ Walks
↔️ Strikeout, has 1 more than Dickey (27)
➡️ tied for 3rd in HR w/CMO
🗣️ Better position prospect than anyone yall got…
☠️☠️ Try harder Junior…
How I would roll tonight vs Tulane
1. Dugas
2. Morgan -LF
3. Crews
4. White
5. Beloso - DH
6. Jones -1B
7. Thompson
8. Jobert - RF
9. Milazzo -C
