Nobody comes to mind. I can't find a single thing not to like about him. (Aside from school choice)
Been awesome to watch tonight. Even though I hate LSU.
He's the best I've ever seen do it.
3 elite pitches. No "off" nights for any of them. AND, he can go 120 pitches before he starts to drop off and come back a week later to do it again.
There is nothing you could hope to improve in his game. He's unhitable, unchasable, unoutlastable (yes I invented a new word roll with it).
Yet they keep praising Crew saying he's the no 1 pick and compare him to Mike Trout. Yeah he's good but there is no way in hell I draft him ahead of Skenes.Quote:

He's a big leaguer already, pretty much. Wish we coulda got him for the one year, but money talks, and they have more of it.
You won?t see another one like him in a long while. His talent is absurd.
Bet he barely makes 8 mlb all star games.
So we were told last year when he chose LSU over us that his results wouldn?t translate to the SEC.
We were also told that he chose LSU because he wanted to work with Wes Johnson who ended up getting fired. Did Wes really enhance his abilities in the half year he worked with him before he was canned?
Disregard this frustrated baseball post. I swear I hate watching CWS without state being a part of it
Did miss something? Wes Johnson took the UGA job. He didn’t get fired…Quote:

He should be pitching in the MLB before the season ends.
Wes Johnson is in Omaha with the LSU team. After their last out, he will be en route to Athens.Quote:

Guess you didn't read my post above that. I posted that out of frustration, but thank you for informing me of my so lowly of an opinion that is worth as much as a crapped out Ward's burger from a homeless person. Carry on with your day....dickQuote:

To the original post, the only name that comes to mind is maybe Aaron Nola in 2013.
You double down on your screwup. Saying Wes was fired at lsu and then get mad when when someone calls you on it.Quote:

Not very alpha of him.
Don't be bringing Ward's into your spat...a BigOne kicks your butt!!Quote:

Jeff Brantley, dude pitched many times twice a week and went the distance a lot in 85. Want to say he was 18-2 or so, wasn't over powerful but was as good of a competitor we will ever see at Msu.
Also Bobby Reed, in 89 I believe, very dominant. I think if he not been injured he would have had a successful major league career.
I could name several Msu pitchers going back from early 70's up till a few years ago. And yes Bednar was elite in 21.
Bednar was incredible, and thank God for him. His CWS run was legendary. However, for the season:Quote:

Explain.Quote:

He was good against Samford and was erratic against Notre Dame.Quote:

Good pointQuote:
