Louisiana's Best Pitching Staff Ever

[Dad04]

Everyone at the top of their game and/or all things being equal…I too have got to go with Gunner.

I will say this. Nobody here, including everyone that played pro ball, ever made the game look any easier.

Very few of the guys mentioned in this thread were 92- 94 mph guys if any. Not that velo is the measuring stick of success, but its what todays game is more about to most. So much has changed on that front. Now we have guys throwing harder that cant hold a candle to the previously mentioned former studs. Give me the guy who knows how to pitch at 90-91-92 with sink and can cut it and we can play defense all night long behind him.

Andy Gros was deadly when he was on. He’d make the best look like first year coaches pitch.

The debate about the best UL rotations is cool.

In 2000, Dohmann and Gabriel were constants. But the third guy was fluid. Eric Templet, Nick Webb and Andy Gros all were used in that role.

And, honestly, that was the case almost every season. We always had two and looked for the consistent third guy.

And, I think that's my point about Southern Miss. Their Sunday guy could pitch on Friday and they wouldn't miss a beat. I don't think we've had a three headed monster like they've got, just speaking objectively.

Now, as far as a total staff is concerned at UL, I'm taking 2000 and it's not even close.

Yes the 2000 staff was the best staff.

Very interesting

Jason Fernandez was in the middle of that staff in 2006 and really good.

Is one of the 3 on that staff the kid that makes you Dad04?

Often over looked were Cody Robins and Trey Pollan in the 90s both had wins up in the teens in the same season. Don’t remember if they had a consistent Sunday guy. They also played when it was still 2 on Saturday one on Sunday.

Yes. Halfway through the 2006 season the starters had ERA's all under 1.2. I think they all finished around 2.00 with tons of innings, as the bullpen was a little thin. It was ridiculous. Danny was a freshman, Buddy a soph., and Jason was a junior, from Delgado, I think. Jason was drafted that year 11th round and made it to AAA. Danny had a nice MBL career, of course. Hunter was All American the next year and had the best college career of them all. Buddy was in a car wreck the next fall and was never the same pitcher. Tore something around the arm side scapula.
