re: Send Guidry into the offseason focused on middle infield

You claiming he maxed out at 92 in high school bc of one performance at a single event destroys any credibility you have.
Here is another one that shows him at 93. LINK
He hit 95 at Barbe and it doesn’t matter if you want to accept that or not. Someone else posted video of him hitting 94 at South Carolina. Go search it up. I didn’t say he needs to get back to sitting 95. He needs to get back to that range bc it’s safe to assume he won’t be bottoming out at 88 if he is hitting mid 90s again. He isn’t an 88-91 guy and if he is he will have a hard time making it.

PerfectGame isn’t high school. He was throwing 95 against Zachary his junior year...ask them! If I’m not mistaken he holds the record at Barbe for the fastest pitch thrown in game.
Just waiting for someone to tell me why a guy touching 95 and commanding 4 pitches in high school is where he is now. AND yes he topped at 94 against SC. The video was posted last week.
He can’t get his velocity up if he isn’t allowed to throw his fastball. He can’t gain confidence in it!
His slider is elite but if they only throw it (88 mph) and his fast ball (90 mph) they are never really changing the bat speed. SEC hitters are too good for that!
Pitch calling sucks…….bet Herring would agree after a called 1-2 fastball that got him pulled. If you think he missed his spot watch Tommy questioning him and his reaction when he left the mound. Another example is let’s throw 5 sliders in a row to Christian Moore and hope he doesn’t hit it!
As for SS, if he would have had the opportunities other players have had, he would have been fine. The circumstances of last year did not allow him to develop as an infielder. Then this year he was told he would have to pitch also. Yes he was working on both in the fall which didn’t allow him to focus on 1 thing. SS at LSU is over!
Side note to the idiot that thinks he knows about Guidry’s interests: His super high metabolism (burns up to 10,000 calories on workout days) is his issue. When his body is ready he will grow quickly. If it’s soon we may lose him.

I see a ton of people question Guidry’s pitching ability and I have no idea why
because we haven't had as many high leverage situations with leads for him to come in and hold. Basically, our teams sucks a lot more and his value/role is diminished as a result. People interpret that as something is wrong with him.
He's only thrown 12.1 innings this year, so one bad outing like he had at Arkansas where he walked 2, gave up a hit, and 3 ER is going to completely wreck his "stats" in a small sample size. Other than that game, he's been just as good as he was last year. In the rest of his appearances, he has pitched 12 innings, given up 4 ER, 9 hits, and walked 8 with 19 Ks.
That's a 3.33 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 14.25K/9 innings. Last year he had a 3.77 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP and 13.19K/9 innings

Correct. It's a showcase with actual scouts and quantifiable measurements.

because maybe he wasn't doing any of that in high school. He was just dominating high school players like every high level D1 prospect did

his slider isn't 88 either.

You don’t think actual scouts are at Barbe games? lol It looks like you are willing to die in this hill so knock yourself out

right back at you bud. "just ask people who watched him in high school."
This is like every college football program claiming 1/3 of their roster runs a 4.4 40, yet those numbers never seem to translate at that rate to pro days or the combine. I guess everyone just gets shitter in college
(or maybe, just maybe high school numbers like that are embellished and are to be taken with a grain of salt)This post was edited on 5/1/24 at 12:47 pm

That implies that you believe anyone claiming Guidry hit 95 in high school was told that by some redneck using an app on his phone for a radar gun.
Some of us actually graduated from Barbe, give money to the baseball program, and know a little bit about a little bit. People at Barbe will tell you. Opponents will tell you. Scouts will tell you. He hit 95 in high school.
Like I said...you claimed he maxed out at 92 in high school, which was quickly and easily determined to be a lie. Time to move on buddy

hopefully Jay doesn't let this happen. his bat has been good but LSU can do better defensively with just as good a bat

At this point I gotta assume you are just trolling. There is no way you can be this dumb and afford to live in Franklin.
Posted on 5/1/24 at 1:18 pm to FredbullTN
I’m not going to lie, the last person I am going to trust to provide an analysis of a player is someone who graduated from and gives money to the school in which that player went to high school.

If he could sit 95 with his current slider, he would be elite at LSU. Don't believe that is currently the case. Hope he gets there.

There's no way you can claim to be smart and be a donor for a high school baseball program. The jokes seriously write themselves.

They sell sponsorships genius. I don’t give money to the school bc I care about the baseball program. Clients and kids are always asking business owners to sponsor cheerleading, baseball, soccer, etc. South Lake Charles is a pretty small area and everyone pretty much knows each other. I’ve been gone for a while but you can pretty much hear something on the rant, send a text, and find out what is bs or not.
But many of us do business with guys who played college (for teams not just named LSU) and pro ball that played at Barbe as well.
I don’t really have anything to gain by telling you he hit 95 in high school. You claimed he maxed out at 92 in high school. I sent you a link proving other wise. He hit 94 at usc. Believe what you want to believe.
Someone posted on here about it. I didn’t believe it. I asked a few people about it and got confirmation. I’ve talked to people that played at a few other SEC schools and give zero fricks about LSU. It didn’t just happen against Zachary.

I just watched the post game interview. I think Guidry is going to stay a pitcher. CJJ literally said the only reason Guidry went in at a position is we were out of position players and needed to get Tommy White off the field when up 17 runs. He didn't want to take any chance of White getting hurt so he put in Guidry because nobody else was left.
Then he immediately said he wasn't enamored by Guidry hitting a 66 mph pitch for a double.
I'm not saying he wont get a chance after this season, but coach was pretty clear that he is a pitcher for now.

Dude stop getting online to hype up your son, we don’t care that you think he’s the best player ever.

So you paying to have an add in their baseball program doesn't make you an expert. Glad you clarified that for me

Then why do you think "some of us actually graduated from Barbe, give money to the baseball program" gives your statements credibility?
quote:

Alums at schools never have anything to gain personally by overexaggerating how good their players are. They still do it all the time
Your posts just scream travel ball dad, but you do you

What do you think is more likely 1) that Guidry was throwing 95 in high school and couldn't do it once he got to college for no apparent reason; or 2) that he has always been a pitcher with a low 90s fastball, which is why he throws that hard in college. There's nothing wrong with a low 90s fastball fwiw. Aaron Nola makes a lot of money throwing low 90s fastballs.
"I was told by other people he threw 95" doesn't mean he actually threw 95.

He got a hit on a guy whose fastball was in the low 70s. But let's make decisions based on that.

Lmaooo. There are literally like 4 people that I know of that care enough about Barbe baseball to do anything like that and most of them played their last game in the early 2000s. Outside of people that are deeply tied to that program, nobody gives a frick. I couldnt tell you who their good players are this year, what their record is, or if they are even still playing. All I know about Barbe this year is they got their shite pushed in by IMG and that’s only bc I saw a YouTube video about it.
You are literally a child for even thinking that way. As is Boosie.
It’s not something that is such a big deal like Texas high school football that people graduate and still talk about it. If we hear something on a random message board we can text some people who know and figure out if it’s true or not. It’s literally nothing more than that.
What I think happened is 3) he is 91-93 and has touched 94 & 95. Showed up his freshman year and was hitting 94 in SEC games and for a reason that isn’t apparent to random retards on the rant, he isn’t the same this year.

you're doing some impressive crawfishing at this point
So I can pretty much ignore everything else you've said and it boils down to "I texted a guy I know and he said Guidry threw 95 in high school, so he definitely did."
