In what world does Baton Rouge have better weather than Knoxville? It's a swamp bucket in the summer with oppressive humidity and under a threat of hurricanes in summer and fall. Oh and it doesn't have Fall at all. As for not having winter, Knoxville doesn't have much of that, either, these days.

Weather is better in Jan, Feb and March.
Knoxville takes the lead April-December
Most of the season falls January-March

So, with Holman to LSU, we ended up only taking 5 total transfers. Plenty of opportunity for the high school recruited prospects to win jobs and get playing time. Can’t say we bought this team next year. Going to be mostly returners.

 

[mattdingus2002]

we could always have one of the freshman, probably loy or dallas, start on weekends, it worked out a couple years ago

The pitching staff will be just fine. Some of you all are underestimating the freshmen we have coming in. This team is going to be a lot better than I think many of you believe. Just watch.

We also just had a lightly used freshman touted as the best pitching prospect in the Coastal Plains League All-Star Game. There is definitely still some quality depth.

We'll be fine, but it's still disappointing. The staff obviously wanted him.

Well with Holman more than likely LSU, Galanie to the draft, and Denton maybe coming back. Say team look like this.
C: Peebles
1st:Burke
2nd: Denton
SS: Moore (easily could be outfield or 2nd if Denton is gone)
3rd: Amick
OF: Drieling
OF: Ensley
OF: Tears/Chapman
Dh: rotation of Tears, Bargo, Backus (need a rh bat)
Starting Rotation:
Fri: Beam
Sat: Russell
Sunday: Dallas or Evans
Bullpen: Either or of Dallas/Evans, Causey, Snead, Combs (he is back right?), Hunley, Zechriest, Hunter Sloop (sleeper for Sunday role imo, highly touted out of high school.
Overall, top 5 team in America that is on the short list to win it all.

Look forward to beating LSU in the Knoxville Super next season.

Unless you're counting practice, the season doesn't enter in January at all. Plus, he's going to be on campus from August to June, not just January through March. You have to deal with weather outside of baseball season, too.

The regular season is mid February through mid-to-late May.

Best wishes to Mr. Holman. Moving on....

Ugh...listing to Basillio's interview with CTV is like digging through dogsh#t to find the diamond ring they swallowed.

I actually thought it was interesting to hear from CTV about other things outside of baseball. Based on hearing CTV talk about those other things, he seemed like he enjoyed the non-baseball talk as part of his interview.

Don't get me wrong, I hang on every word CTV says, but TB's 25 year old act wears thin.

 

[txbo]

My apologies in advance, I am not trying to be offensive, but Baton Rouge has three seasons: Rain, Hurricane, and Mosquitos.

And the msquitos are so big they can stand flat footed and screw a turkey.

Oh I got you. Yeah, he is who he is. I guess his act works since he's been doing this forever, it must pay the bills for his family.

I just really hate L$U.

I just really hate L$U.

I don’t think they won this with NIL. They just beat us out.

Not sure who “some of ya’ll” is aimed at, but I’m pretty confident it’s misdirected. What you do and don’t know can’t be disproven, if you don’t share it. My connections tell me what I can and can’t share. I follow that, and share only what I can. So if your judgement is aimed at me, it’s incorrect. In this instance, I’m pretty confident your friends don’t know, because the highest circle outside the coaches office doesn’t know. Secrets rarely survive outside a group of two. That’s a statistical fact. I think TV and Frank know. I think the family knows. I think LSU coaches know. When it spreads one degree further, I’ll know. Your friends have a 50% chance of being right whether they know or not, and saying we’ll know by the end of the week is about as prescient as predicting an object will fall if you drop it.

Great post. I think there are some people who like the attention of being an "insider" a little too much. What exactly is the point of coming on here and saying 'I KNOW..... I KNOW..........but I can't tell anyone else.?" unless it is just for the attention?

 

[DukeDaisySam]

He'd get better coaching in Knoxville

Ever heard of Paul Skeenes?

Paul Skenes’ pitching coach at LSU last year, Wes Johnson, is currently the head coach at Georgia.

You know...upon reflection, you are absolutely right! the guys been in the market a long time. When I was listening in the 90's he was a refreshing alternative to the bland "sports-chalk". He's still on-air and has a following. Cudos!

What this batting lineup will do to Sunday starters will make it easier on who ever starts on the mound on Sunday. We should be scoring 8-10 runs on anyone’s number 3 so all we really need is someone to throw strikes on Sunday and we should be fine.

 

[volman128]

I just really hate L$U.

I never really used to care one way or another but through them winning the WBB and college baseball championships, their fans have found a renewed obnoxiousness and I really just hate them now.
