re: Start these 9 Wednesday

Posted by IM_4_LSU on 3/3/26 at 6:02 am to
I'm not sure sitting all 9 starters is the answer but sitting Cade, York, Simpson, Dardar, and Caraway could do some good. Don't want to sit out Milam, Brown, and Curiel.
He hasn't found his breaking ball so people are sitting on the fastball or changeup. Once he can consistently land the breaking ball teams will not be touching him up. He was pretty consistent with it during the fall but just isn't translating so far this season.

That is why he was very successful against Arkansas in the CWS. Being able to command 3 pitches makes a big difference.

Not worried about the pitching. A lot of guys that are seeing time on the mound will not be counted on during SEC or post season play. Was not expecting Cooper Williams to struggle as much as he has but we have 5 guys that are absolute studs. We will find another 3-4 to contribute and will have a good staff.

Just need Stanfield back and get some guys out of this slump offensively.
That could be part of it. There is definitely some mental issues being played out but there is going to be a lot of mental fatigue that takes place over the course of the season and certainly in post season play. Adversity early can help at the end of the season.

At least Brown hits the ball hard.

Plenty of time to correct the poor play. Started about as bad as we could. Time to wake up.

Well this is about as terrible of a start to a game as we could have.

Not sure where that missed.

Nowhere to put em. Can’t just give up free passes.

So every hitter complains about the shadows when the shadows are on the hitter but ThreeYYYz says its manageable and that makes it so lmfao. In every stadium when the shadow is on the hitter the advantage is to the pitcher.
Yeskie knows how to develop pitchers and teach them new pitches.

I love what I have seen from him this year. I want to see him continue to improve. But the main thing is I am curious how he does the next few outings because I was actually shocked at how much velocity he lost at certain times on Sunday. He seemed to get tired quicker than I was expecting and that can come back to bite you. But some pitchers are not able to go past 6-7 innings.
quote:

And Moore’s, much like Cowen’s, change up is by far his best pitch and he lives on being able to throw that wherever he wants in whatever count he wants. But he has to be able to locate his fastball in and out too. If goes out there one day and doesn’t have command of just 1 of those and they can sit on the other, SEC lineups are going to touch him up. And how effective will he be the 2nd or 3rd time through lineups?


Yes, in theory you are right you can get away with more balls over the heart of the plate when the velocity is higher. However, Moore has 4 pitches that he has always commanded. Hes always been a strike thrower and will always have times where teams "get a hold of one" but hes not someone to worry about "getting touched up" by SEC pitching. His floor is higher than the others while his ceiling is lower. But his lack of velocity is nothing to be concerned about because of his pitch ability, command, and movement.

Just for shits and giggles I looked up Skenes, thinking his game 2 and 3 starts would be in line with these two guys....... nahhh

6.0 IP, 2 Hits allowed, 1 ER, 2 BB, 11 K
6.0 IP, 1 Hit allowed, 0 ER, 0 BB, 13 K


Skenes is 1 of 1.
