re: LSU projected as a "First Four Out" team by Baseball America.
Posted by Metaloctopus on 5/8/24 at 11:01 am
I think we're fortunate if that is even accurate, as things stand at this very moment. There is time and opportunity to move up, and move in, but this team hasn't come close to earning a spot yet, in my opinion. So yeah, I would consider first four out to be a positive report....

re: Is there any chance Drew Burress enters the Transfer Portal?
Posted by Metaloctopus on 5/8/24 at 10:56 am
Those other guys will all likely be in the postseason. Players like to win, typically. I think that was made clear to be the point of the OP's question.
The grouchiness on this site never ends....

[quote]Little, Dutton, and Moffett all exceeded expectations this weekend. [/quote]
Little has been pitching better for a couple weeks, so it was less surprising to me than what Moffett did. Dutton did what he's done most of his career, which is to pitch well for a little while and then kind of u...

Posted by Metaloctopus on 5/6/24 at 3:53 pm
He is an enigma in how he looked so lost and utterly without confidence last year, only to turn it on when the pressure was highest, but then fall right back into the same problems this year that he had last regular season. I've heard of and seen lots of players in all sports who turned it up in the...

[quote]Name me a college baseball program who has 3 great weekend starters Friday/Saturday/Sunday. I’ll wait, because there isn’t one. There’s a reason why every team goes into the 3rd game without a pitcher announced.[/quote]
But they had quality arms to come out of the 'pen on Sunday. It's not ...
re: Can I start getting excited about Cameron Johnson yet?

Mac Marshall made it hard for me to ever feel comfortable about a player making it to campus. I still get excited, though.
I know the vast majority here remember what happened with Marshall, but in case anyone is new to this, he was one that got drafted late, said he was coming to campus, showed ...

[quote]No, that’s called an option, not leverage. You got one thing right.
At this point in the draft he does not have the leverage to use that to his favor to get more money. He simply has that option to fall back on. You are totally misusing the application. [/quote]
It's both. Why do player...

[quote]Yea, that’s not leverage.
Leverage is a verb for a reason [/quote]
When you have no options, you have no leverage. The option to go to school is leverage against any team wanting to sign him. That is literally how leverage works....

It’s either going to be enough for him, or it’s not. There’s nothing he can do to leverage more money if they don’t have it. [/quote]

I guess they aren't used to having so many, that they don't realize how few they are ever going to see. Especially when they don't have much to sell their program on, other than "Well, we stay relevant"....
