At least we don’t have to worry about their head coach whine or complain about it. Just not his style...Quote:

Their recruiting is fine but player development methods are way behind.
Allen Dunn has been a good pitching coach but LSU is 5+ years behind MSU, OM, and Ark in pitching player development methods
They are doing just fine. Manure needs to stay right there.Quote:

Its most likely bad luck and all- but I will say throwing him over 100 pitches against us early in the season on a cool night wasnt the best decision a coach could make.Quote:

Anytime. I understand and agree w your point about the early season part completely though.Quote:

I havent been the same since I went about 120 pitches in a semi-pro game back in 20 years ago. I need Cuff surgery and Tommy John. It sux
That's the thing - I don't think they have more mileage on the arms. I know I spent almost all day every day all summer playing some form of baseball - 4 on 4 street ball with a tennis ball (get stung with a throw and your out), pick up games at the park, rec league games at night, double headers on Saturdays. From March 1 to August 20 I was throwing constantly from all positions on the field. But - I rarely touched a baseball from the time school started until 2 weeks before "draft day" for rec ball in late February/early March. I think kids in our era benefited from playing all positions instead of focusing on one (built more well rounded arm strength) and we typically had a long off season break because we moved to football for fall and basketball in winter.Quote:
