I guess. I really dislike the NIL + Transfer Portal era. So far LSU has gone out and bought pieces that takes their typical contending squads into championship squads on paper. They still have to play the games though, but they are excelling in the current "collegiate" athletics climate. I did enjoy watching Crews and Skenes in the games I did catch, subtracting points for doing it across the basin.
It's easy to see the diversionary tactic Jay Johnson was tooling everyone with.
"SURPRISE I started him. Bet you didn’t see that coming." When during the game the talk was about elevated pitch count.
What makes Vic always right? He manages to take all sides of action at the same time. What a flippity floppity boy.
Congrats LSU on #7
Not bad for a midweek level of competition.
Would have loved to listen to a weekend best level of play, and that's a knock on changing the sport to an endurance RACE with football scores at the end. It's not a knock on LSU.
It’s no different than any other sport. In football it happens often that the best games are in the afc/nfc championship round, the CFP is usually one of the semifinal games, the ncaa tournament it’s usually one of the final four games…this year it was lsu/wake forest. Happens all the time, across the board. This idea that you can always “regulate” your way to the best matchup for the perfect ending is nonsense, it’s living in a fairytale, it’s not real. Florida was well rested, a more rested lsu just makes the finals more lopsided that it was and doesn’t even go 3 games.
Two things:
In the history of college baseball, never has an ace possibly been more effective piddling in the locker room and in the bull pen than he may have been out there on the mound.
I hope Florida learned the difference between running up the score in a fake game and getting the score run up on them in a real game.
