How many game-winning hits did "FOAM BAT" have in his career? 2 at least, probably more.

I don't see how "Canadian Bacon" is derogatory

It may not be.
Would he call him that if he were 3-0 with a 1.25 ERA?

I don't agree with pitching Cerentola in the rotation but it doesn't surprise me. Glad to see Bednar in the rotation though.

A) Foam Bat wasn’t mine. That was from ISID. I called him Belmont. The guy never hit consistently so there was never any “burning”. Hell- he even got booted his last season and had to coach 1st base after hitting .221 as a Jr
B) nicknames are fun. Hell our own Baseball Twitter will list the line-up by nicknames.

Yes- because that is what I nicknamed him

It's derogatory. It takes a perfectly good meat and somehow makes it less desirable, just with a shitty name. Or maybe the name is just there to not besmirch ham's reputation by bringing attention to the fact that it keeps ruining pizzas. After all, it's not ham's fault that ass hats keep insisting on putting it where it doesn't belong. Regardless, nobody with any sense or taste can see canadian bacon as anything but derogatory.

I like Fristoe a lot and think he?s our Friday or Saturday starter next year, but I do think it?s possible to overstate what he?s done so far. The Kent State start was awesome, otherwise he?s just been OK. He had what was clearly our weakest of the three starts last weekend.
I understand the issues with Cerentola and that he?s very rarely been reliable as a starter, but I also get that his ceiling is super high and last weekend was the first time all season he?s shown command. Certainly think you have a short leash if it goes south, but he did show some good things last week that, if sustainable, would mean he can be a rotation piece all season.

We don?t have a single kid with certified War Horse innings- like Pilkington as a junior. I bet we end up using 6 different starters this year for rest, matchups, or hot streaks. Mac, Bednar, EC, Fristoe, B Smith, and Harding are all going to start at some point. We are going to be super fresh in May and June.
I will not be surprised if we get April and May surprise ?opt outs? from marquee players that just want to be drafted high and call it a season. I?m not thinking MSU, I?m thinking Vandy and Florida. Wu Flu, Mercenary Programs, and Modern Culture are gonna make an impact. Why take a Final at Vandy or tolerate torturing whistling, if you can chill in Miami and get drafted.

If Fristoe has just been "ok" then what would characterize Cerrantola as been? Hell or MacLeod? Fristoe has been our most consistent starter this year.

He has been in literally every other start this year. It's one game.

Eh its a smart move. Move your most inconsistent guy to the back and hope to save up the pen for his day. If he gives you 2 innings great, you have enough bullpen to piece the remainder of the game together.
Cerantola will continue to get opportunities because if/when he figures it out he will be very very good. He is the type of arm that if hes on he will go shove it against any lineup in the country. You have to keep giving him opportunities to figure it out.
Pitching will be fine.

He gave up 1 run in 4 innings on 3 hits. That’s good. You most likely won’t get that out of Canadian Bacon this Sunday

The Red Maple Leaf will be just fine. Our issue with LSU is that we put those Pussies on a pedestal
Cerantola wont be rattled by drunk 250 lb grandmothers with arm and neck tattoos. Fristoe and Sims are going to come from the pen and drop bombs too. After Arlington and the Dude, LSU is not special. Even Trustmark is great leveling experience for the boys
The time when we pitched Saturday and Sunday with Walkons and Rudy Ruettigers is past. 2021 is like strolling into LSU with Reed, Jobes, and Chris George. This weekend is a Business Trip.

You don't give up on that potential to maximize your chances of winning a Sunday game in the middle of March.
Plus, as Commerce mentioned, Fristoe is a freshman. While starting experience versus lsu would probably be great for his development, there's also something to be said for not pitching him too much too early, so he is still fresh at the end of the year.
Agreed. Lemonis is playing to win it all. He?s hoping to develop Cerantola and Fristoe. We will need them in June. It?s not about one series or one game in March.
