But it doesn't mean we can't go "WTF" when the lowest batting average on the team shows up batting third in the lineup.
I said the same in the other thread. Why do you DH your worst hitter.
But, I hope he proves me wrong.

Nor should it be!
I trust Jay, but WHY would you DH a hitter that’s a liability in the box?
I’m guessing he is trying to get him more at bats to try and get better, but he’s never been a good hitter.
Edit- just because I wrote this, Reaves is gonna go 3 for 4 with a homer. Lol

I can’t stand to listen to Blake Ruffin with all his yelling and ranting.
It’s like he believes if he screams it loud enough he can beat everyone into agreeing with him.

re: Cowan has to stop leaving pitches over the meat of the plate
Posted by Bacon84 on 3/4/26 at 5:25 am to Sheppards Pie
I’m no expert, but from my view when Cowan was at his best he was throwing a ton of strikes, and had elite control to hit his spots.
He was able to get ahead in counts and then nibble at the edges of the zone forcing hitters to protect the plate and chase. He has just enough heat to blow a fastball by you, if you’re expecting a breaking ball, but he isn’t overpowering anyone.
Somewhere middle/end of last season, he lost a bit of control, started falling behind in counts, which forced him to start throwing middle of the plate and getting ROCKED.
I don’t know if it’s mental or physical, or what the solution is to get his control back. That’s a problem him and Yeskie must address, if he is going to be a high leverage pitcher.

Cowan was so good for the majority of last season.
And had a couple good outing at the end of the year. He has to find his control and get out in front of hitters.
But he has been bad this year, and had some periods last year when he wasn’t good.

I agree with you.
This team is very talented.
JJ is a great coach.
They will hit a stride and be very difficult to beat.

Breaking news…. Mediocre running back, doesn’t list LSU in his top 8…. ??
He doesn’t have an LSU offer, why would LSU be in his top 8? That’s dumb.

I didn’t watch a sec while he was here.
Haven’t watched a sec since he left, and won’t watch a sec if he returns….

don't remember, though, if he was throwing that hard all season or if he brought that out in the postseason?
He was throwing that hard all season, but did NOT have elite control early in the season. Down the stretch he was pretty great.

But I bet you that SECN would have streamed it with not problem. At least the LSU games. If you can't find anyone worth a shite to stream it. Don't have the "tournament" and let the teams play where they may.
No they wouldn't.
ESPN/SECN is contractually obligated to produce and stream all baseball held in SEC home stadiums. They agreed to this to have the rights to stream football, if not for this contract we would not get any of the baseball games on TV/Stream.
July, motherfricker.... The first Loss will be in July!

no baseball expert, but Johnson seems to be exceptional at managing a team to do exactly this.
Couldn’t agree more!
That’s why when he makes a move that I don’t necessarily agree with, I shut my damn mouth, and enjoy the ride.
I realize he has forgotten more about baseball than I’ll ever know.

I think they have enough talent to do it.
But, winning it all requires a certain amount of luck, avoiding injuries, and getting hot at the right time.
Could they? Absolutely!
Will they? Much less sure about that.
