re: Is it transfer players? (Baseball topic)
Posted by Geauxmaha67 on 3/9/26 at 11:40 am to EauxZark Tiger
The transfer guys haven't been great, but that isn't the end of the story. First, some transfer guys have been great - Cooper Moore, Caraway (for what we thought we were getting). Secondly, when you are talking about offensive production we usually expect in the 4 weeks of non-conference, our returners are the real disappointment in my opinion (outside of Brown). Milam, Arrambide both below expectations - even Curiel (hasn't been terrible but this is supposed to be a guy in SECPOY conversation). Stanfield hurt doesn't help.
Another issue though that I think a lot of people in this thread are overlooking is that Jay knows this is a long season and that it progressively gets more important. We are going to see him stretch these starters out and start going only/significantly to the 3-4 guys that have proved it this year out of the pen. I'll say that the 4 run inning where you pull Schmidt and go Moore-Guidry is concerning, but outside of that a lot of the pitching struggles have been from guys that aren't going to be on the bump much on the weekends here on out. He does this so that he can figure out what he's got, which proves useful when staff gets thin from injuries/loaded weeks in a tournament run.

In this era we are never going to be able to prevent attrition. These guys want guaranteed playing time which Jay can't give considering what we return/get in the portal/freshman class every year. Even when a guy gets considerable playing time the next year isn't a guarantee (e.g. Larson leads team in hitting in SEC 2024, very limited time last year).

I agree not a good reason to play him first -- but doesn't mean he couldn't be a better offensive option. We take guys from small conferences that emerge as studs all the time. Dickinson, Yorke, Hernandez all in the last two seasons alone.

Braun too good to not be in the lineup against RHP right now in my opinion.

Going off the assumption Simpson will be 300+ or close to that. .389 w/ 22 hr last year. Not saying he plays over Stanfield, saying its a consideration.

Yeah agreed. My prediction is someone between Dardar/Simpson/Braun will emerge as a must-start every game and the other two will split more time.

Simpson will slide to 2B and Dar Dar will DH
Can't take Braun out of DH until he gives you a reason to. Dardar has been good too. Think the most likely way to keep Simpson in there is to platoon him with Dardar at second -- Dardar w/ RHP on the mound Simpson w LHP.

In the MLB playoffs, when the series become staggered and a team is able to throw their SP1 vs the other team’s SP3, who do you think has the advantage?
No doubt, but when you're LSU you hope to have the SP-edge each game every weekend, and that is the formula to win and sweep the series. That's why other teams will flip their Friday and Saturday guys when playing us but we don't do that in a year where we have a solid 2-3 man rotation.

defensively is a major upgrade over Simpson in LF
No doubt. But with Curiel in CF and Brown in RF you may end up in a position where you forgo a little defense for more pop in the lineup. Think depending on how Simpson looks early on in SEC and what the lineup needs (a contact/speed guy or a bat with more pop).
re: Friday night starter
Posted by Geauxmaha67 on 2/28/26 at 4:03 pm to Lester Earl
Sure the pitchers are matched up with the hitters, but you put your best against their best for 2 reasons: 1. you assume their Friday guy is going to give your lineup the most struggle and you want the same for theirs and 2. winning the series is much easier when you win on Friday. The guy on the other side matters.
Stanfield/Simpson
Posted by Geauxmaha67 on 2/28/26 at 3:58 pm
Is Stanfield automatically back in the lineup when he gets healthy? Simpson has looked strong. Stanfield much more experience playing in this league, but Simpson raked in mid-major last year. Much more potential for power too.

Are you ignoring the fact that the team that scores more runs wins??
re: Friday night starter
Posted by Geauxmaha67 on 2/28/26 at 3:46 pm to Lester Earl
Not at all. In February against Middle Tennessee Baptist Catholic State yes... but when you are matching up against Hunter Elliot on a Friday in mid-April you want to have a dude on the other side. The order of Evans and Moore may not matter too much (Anderson-Eyanson didn't last year), but you need a dude on Friday in this league.
re: Guidry is the best pitcher on this team

Regardless, I think if someone is in trouble in the second inning, he’s coming in the game first unless it’s a matchup deal with the lefty, and he would be expected to finish it.
This is exactly why he won't be a starter on this team. Jay has had a guy every year who he could lean on to come in and eat several innings in a high-leverage spot (think Cowan last year, Herring 24, Cooper 22-23, Hurd, etc.) Was thinking this year would be Cowan again, but he hasn't looked like it in limited action.

Only concern is leaving runners on base, but some of that comes with figuring out the lineup, guys assuming different roles and will come along.

Posted by Geauxmaha67 on 2/28/26 at 3:32 pm to Tcass377322
Agreed, but Casan deserves to start SEC play in the role. After what he proved last year and coming back as a leader he has earned it. Plus, Evans-Moore vs. Moore-Evans is going to be strong either way and won't make much of a difference.
