Coastal just doesn't have the bats to overcome LSU pitchers.

More about what LSU has. No one has the bats to beat their pitching. As soon as I saw that changeup from Eyerson with 2’ of run and the reliever sitting 100…whew.

[appdaze]

I've seen low tier minor league teams that would lose to that LSU pitching line up. Beach Chickens had a good run. Look at that. I even capitalized both words in their name out of respect for the work they put in.

[Stonewall]

Until we get our house in order it matters not. And things are getting worse, not better.

In which way? Need more NIL $? Disgruntlement?

Ump show. Hate that.

I know you can't argue balls and strikes by letter of the law, but that was an overreaction. I've seen plenty of SEC coaches stay in the game for much worse.

The HC comments of the ump that fell down's lack of athleticism, well humorous, isn't something I'd want to see our coaches say in a presser.

Agree. I have an issue with him tossing the first base umpire. He only tossed him when he made a comment while looking straight ahead and with the umps back to him. He was done arguing directly and it was over. No need to toss him. The ump made it about him.

I watched the replay several times again today and Coastal got hosed with the umpire throwing Schnall out of the game. This is the CWS and there has to be some leeway. The announcers could not believe it. I am not saying this would have changed the final outcome but it was not right to CCU. I don't think they would have done it to the LSU coaches.

[Stonewall]

The umpire choked. Terrible decision in the moment. My opinion.

LSU coaches have been tossed this year for way less than what Schnall did. The umpire could have handled it differently and diffused it but the ejection was 100% justified for the time it came. That ump got fired from the majors for similar stuff but he did tell him multiple times to go back to the dugout. Fire in the belly is a good thing but Schnall has a temper he sometimes has difficulty controlling. Can't react that way in a game that big. Coastal's AD made a statement blaming the umpires while Schnall clearly violated the rules and protocols. Kind of like blaming the cops for your speeding ticket, don't speed no ticket.

I was glad to see Morrison chased in the third. He disrespected his opponent, talked noise and a little humble pie was in order. Celebrations are fine but I can't stand trash talk. Have some respect and act like you've been there before. And yes, I'm one those cranky old Bas..........

I am not questioning the rule and maybe LSU coaches have been tossed for less earlier in the year. But I said because it is the CWS there should be some additional leeway given to coaches and players. Maybe others don't agree with me and that is fine but I think because the stakes are this high, Umps should allow some fire in the belly moments from both teams as long as they don't get out of hand. I think plate Ump should have gone over towards coach and tried to diffuse it more than he did before tossing the coach. The ump that tripped himself proved even more how ridiculous it was. Listen to the announcers how surprised they were that this happened. They were in disbelief. I don't have a dog in the fight but from a neutral observer I think it was handled poorly. You statement about Ump being fired from majors further proves this ump may not have the best judgement.

It was handled extremely poorly and was unjust. You can read Schnall's lips as he's walking out asking "what the warning was for". He had to ask 2 or 3 times to get or hear his answer and then he should not have said "you've missed 3", but there's no way he should have been ejected without further arguing

Don't disagree but Schnall should know better and backed down. He lost it when Campos shoo'ed him away the second or third time. Campos should have gone over and talked to him.
BTW full disclosure, I married into an LSU family and have been watching LSU baseball for over 30 years. My proudest time was in 2012 when the APPS went to Baton Rouge and took 2 out of 3 from the Tigers. Watching LSU baseball is a lot like watching App football. A lot of miracles, big wins and things that make you say wow, there is just something special about it.

My guess is that LSU's baseball NIL dwarfs what App's football NIL has. Clearly, LSU was the best team and most deserving of the title. One thing Coastal did that LSU failed to do was win a game at Auburn.

[Stonewall]

By roughly $1m annually, yes.

Kermit and staff have signed a few in the portal. Do we turn the page to 2026 Baseball?

Looks like some proven veteran arms and bats.
Along with some young talent. Hope they hit.

Any word on Steensma or do we wait for the draft?

20

[Appmountaineers19]

Can't imagine him getting drafted after not pitching in almost a year. Still has 5 months until "fully" healed

Maybe a flyer as an UDFA

IF Best is back you have a pretty decent (possible) 1-2 punch. Although I can see JS going back to a closer type role to ease him back in.

AND /Or I can see both not here next year as well depending on things.

Where's the pitching?

3 late JUCO players and another that was asked to possibly walk on at Duke. Not a sniff from Tier 2 guys.
and with Harris possibly leaving it puts the team in a bigger bind to find someone to eat innings.

[Appmountaineers19]

Is there a list of where players are at in summer ball?
