re: Why are our bats the worst in game 3 every weekend

I mean stats are pretty important. Paxton Kling was thought of as a top 50-100 prospect coming into the year because of his talent, but I'm not going to say he's one of our best players.

I agree because lack of hitting is what cost us Sunday’s game and series victory. Some folks were still bellyaching about the pitching, but when you got 2 in scoring position and only get 1 of the runs, that’s lack of hitting. We left that tying run stranded.

Right which is why Hess is pitching on Sunday and Paxton is batting 8th or 9th. Uber talented players trying to figure it out. Guarantee Hess keeps pitching like that he might lead off a regional or be the 2nd starter.

Pitching staffs are way more deeper now.
Would be nice if I could say the same about ours. Seems like we have been struggling to find a Sunday guy since Jay has arrived in Red Stick. Hopefully next year we can change that trend.
So tired of having an inconsistent wild staff....

It’s not just game 3’s. LSU ranks 13 out of 14 in total runs scored in SEC play. They just aren’t a great offensive team.
That’s the most frustrating thing about this team. They are just not getting timely hitting. How much is randomness that comes from a small sample size and how much is mental is a question that can’t be answered, but this team is 6th in league play in OPS and should have scored about 1 run more per game with those stats. That might only have moved their expected win total up to 13-14, but they’d be in a much better position to make the tournament.

Yes it is. Farone and zane adams had higher SIERA’s than Hess by a pretty large margin, and if you compare the stuff of the 3, Hess’s was way better

It’s the jerseys.

They go out and get laid which wears them out.

It’s college baseball. Even some good teams don’t have a lock down Sunday guy.

Are there stats for how many pitches are thrown to the Tigers on Sundays?
To my eyes, from Tanks on down the line, LSU batters seem to want to get Sunday at bats over as fast as possible. We seem to always be making the other teams pitchers look great with short at bats.
Couple that possibility with pitching staff that will give up a lot of runs on Sunday and it's a recipe for defeat.
Seems like our team has a short attention span and by Sundays they check out and are ready to get it over with.

You had the best and smartest answer in this post then you HAD to go Frick it up.
So out of ten Sunday games SEVEN threw their ace or ace that came back from injury (Bama) and one second starter. Meaning on Sundays this year it’s actually been like playing on Fridays. So I ask why soon it into saying what the cool kids are saying (Jay analytics MUh) when you had the perfect answer??
This team looks like the average Pawl team that has 3-4 sub .225 hitters. We can’t field the ball( Braswell has lost 3 sec games. Millaonzo has lost 2 BY THEM SELVES. BUT the rantards want to blame Jay for analytics because some idiot brought it up once and it sounds SO GOOD.

Some of it boils down to a lot of young guys trying to adjust to SEC caliber pitching. Larson, Milam, Brown, Frey, etc., combined with Kling, Bingham and Neal not really being consistent, reliable options on offense and you get the struggles they are facing now. I believe Larson will be really good, he shows a better awareness, approach and batting skills to get on base than the other young guys.

Exactly right

2008 - 0 sub .225 hitters (lowest was .272)
2009 - 0 sub .225 hitters (lowest was .294)
2010 - 0 sub .225 hitters (lowest was .283)
2011 - 2 ~.225 hitters (Trey Watkins and Ty Ross), no one else sub .279
2012 - 1 sub .225 hitter (Arby Fields), no one else lower than .253
2013 - 1 sub .225 hitter (Ty Ross), no one else lower than .294
2014- 0 sub .225 hitters, lowest was Christian Ibarra at .238, next lowest was .288
2015 - 0 sub .225 hitters, lowest was .278
2016 - 0 sub .225 hitters, lowest was .286
2017 - 0 sub .225 hitters, lowest was .256
2018 - 1 sub .225 hitter (Hal Hughes), followed by Feducia at .233
2019 - 1 sub .225 hitter (Hal Hughes), followed by Broussard at .255
2021 - 1 sub .225 hitter (Milazzo), with Beloso close at .226
So not really sure where this narrative you concocted comes from. Mainieri had 8 total that would even kind of qualify over his entire career (among regular starters). of those 8, most of them were catchers, 3 of the 4 being guys who were elite defeinsively (Papierski/Ross/Feducia). Papierski has reached the majors with 2 different teams and Feducia is in AAA. Until the very end of his career, we were typically one of the better hitting teams every year in the SEC.
Further, who are all the sub .225 hitters on the roster this year? I count one.

Where can I find the SIERA of college baseball players, specifically our team? I would like to know who our best pitchers are.
