Bide/Serna behind the plate is likely, but I would not be surprised to see one of them transfer out.

quote:dumb. Pearson, Bide, Serna, and Braun will all be back next year.
I don’t see a single position or player cemented for next year’s team at this time. No eligible returning player has performed to their full potential this season as of today, IMO.
re: How do you end up with guys like Ethan Frey and Jared Jones

quote:agreed.
Larson is a better guy if you’re going to lament a transfer and I don’t think he makes a dent this year now that Braun is doing so well at first base.

quote:is there though? I feel like each transfer from last season all have serious flaws. Costello numbers are impressive until you see his big 10 numbers and like you stated the fielding. Ryan would have a spot in this line up as a hitter but he’s struggled with fielding and would be the worst fielder on this team as hard as that is to imagine. Larson numbers are inflated because he’s just a platoon player just like he was here and has half less AB’s than the majority of Texas regular starters. I really don’t see a guy that left that’s actually helping this team improve this year.
Mikey Ryan has 7 errors, that would lead this LSU team. Costello has 4 errors and is hitting .286 I believe. If you’re gonna bitch about transfers, there are better options.

quote:They won the conference 3 times during skips dynasty years…. But sure “bottom feeder”. Put some respect on Rod Delmonico name. If you want consistency go root for DVH or Sully’s teams…. They still have less titles than Jay Johnson.
Oh yeah that’s the same as a perennial conference bottom feeder.

Comparing Tenn baseball to lsu baseball is like comparing Kentucky basketball to lsu basketball which makes what Vitello did even more impressive.

Tim Corbin. Nineteen straight regionals, two CWS wins.

I had my doubts about Verge initially, but the way he went after Kiffin and Wade shows that he's relentless. He's not going to put up with this shite for long.

Curious what your reaction was like of the ‘24 team without playing the hindsight game. This team is still 3 games ahead of that one that yall continue to shite on.

At LSU we NEED guys like Gavin Dugas, Cade Beloso, Josh Pearson. 4th or 5th year Louisiana guys that understand what LSU baseball means.

Jay still has a chance to separate himself from Orgeron but, as of now, there’s only a few pounds and a tan that separate them.
