BB G1 Final: Louisiana 11, Coastal 9

Just because I was asking does not mean I did not know.

As for teams posting their rotations, we are seeing more and more TBA for the second and third games. And tell me if I’m wrong, but the only information provided by posting the three game starting rotation is who will make the first pitch of the game, if they stick to it?

I gave my opinion on who would pitch and what the result would be. I’m batting .500 in two games.

As for posting about you: I just thought we were discussing strategy and pitching? Are we not?

You are not 500 because you said that Rawls, Nezuh, McGehee and Christie would not pitch.

May we all enjoy the games this weekend and may the Cajuns be successful against the Chickens.

I said it was my opinion that those pitchers would not pitch. It’s a pretty reasonable opinion considering how ridiculous most people view this entire situation.

Everything since has been about baseball. I’ve been nothing but cordial.

See you at the park.

Yikes if that happened. Might be an advantage for us.

My sources (which are several) indicated that the whole pitching staff knew the plans for this week and the intended rotations well in advance.

That is one of the reasons that I sorta had confidence in the potential of that system for this week. Since we are expected to fall flat this weekend under ordinary and expected circumstances, why not try something different?

Keep in mind that the games will dictate how much the coaching staff can stick through the intended path. So far, so good.

Yall might want to listen to this person and not talked down to them.

Not sure that is even possible. The one thing supporting it is the success of the Rays in MLB. They can't afford starters.

I am confused at the state of college pitching. MLB cut back on the draft, forcing more players to college. Yet, ERA's seem like they are higher than ever. Coastal is 6.47. We lead the league at 4.72 after years and years under 4. Every Sun Belt team sucks at pitching. We just suck a little less.

Sun Belt Average Team ERA

2017: 4.81
2018: 4.83
2019: 5.39
2020: 4.03 (COVID Season)
2021: 4.92
2022: 5.34
2023: 6.03

I can't remember what I was listening to the other day but they had a good guess. Most D1 head coaches are after velocity. Many of the guys that can "pitch" are being overlooked and ending up at JUCOs or DII.

Yeah, let's go after a guy who throws 100 but hits batters and has no control in his pitches over someone like Gunner Leger who might throw only 89-90 but can locate his pitch to the inch and become an All-American.

Sometimes, coaches outcoach themselves.

I have a nephew that pitched for one of the top high schools in Texas and was good the only offer he got was a D2 school. He decided not to play I feel coaches missed the boat on him. But I am biased. He is enjoying the college life at the University of Arkansas.

I hope they are charged $15 to park if they don’t have tickets to the baseball game.
