The 2017 LSU Baseball Season

Depth yes, lefties no. It hurts more than just a pitcher in the pen because Norman is a lefty

 

His evil twin?

 

Lefty is the evil one.

It does behoove LSU to recruit twins though. When we break one, we still have another we can use. If only we could find more switch pitchers...

Read about some kid in Florida playing juco I think. Switch pitcher. A natural lefty, but turns out he is much more devastating as a righty, so the coach shut down his left arm instead of developing it. Fair enough I guess, but a rare find

 

See Billy Wagner. All 5 foot 9 of him.

 

The average height of an American male is 5-foot-10, yet 14 MLB teams don't have a pitcher under 6 feet tall. The Yankees have one pitcher under 6-2 and boast five pitchers at least 6-7. The Cardinals have eight pitchers 6-4 or taller. Kansas City is the only team in baseball with five pitchers 6 feet or under.

Both Pedro Martinez and Ron Guidry were only 5-11 yet both were flamethrowers

 

Mets pitcher Daniel Herrera is 5'6"

 

On to our mid week match up. Tonight at 6:30 CCAT LSU gets Nicholls at the Box. Nicholls starts Mike Hanchar, a senior left-hander who is 1-0 with a 0.75 ERA and 16 strikeouts in 12 innings. LSU starts Mr. Hess on the bump who is 1-0 this season with a 1.50 ERA and eight strikeouts in six innings.

Mid weeks. Ugh...UNO dropped their series last weekend at home to a semi shitty Troy. Guess Blake Dean blew his wad on us. What ev's. Best be ready tonight.

 

Wagner was stout. I'm sure he wrestled steers like Nolan Ryan. Pedro he just blew my mind every time iI watched him pitch. 165lbs soaking wet and the most dominant pitcher I've ever seen and did so what seemed like a decade. Was prolly like 6 years.

 

Who is going to Houston this weekend?
