Nutriaitch Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 the road to Omaha starts .... NOW! as we do every year, please take a moment before first pitch to remember our fallen brother JayB. Huge baseball fan, liked his whiskey. Loved getting excited and bent out of shape in chat during games . So raise a glass to him before the season. now, on to the good stuff!! LSU opens the season vs the Broncos from Western Michigan. 1st pitch scheduled for 3pm today at The Box Audio/Video: Radio call can be heard on your local LSU Sports radio network affiliate, or as always for free on the LSUSports app. Video coverage is available on the SEC+ which you can watch through the ESPN app. (Note: most of last years games were also available for free on youtube with some digging, so that may happen again). Weather: 50° at first pitch under mostly sunny skies. Winds blowing toward Home Plate from the LC Power Alley at 14 mph with gust howling up into the mid 30s or so. No chances of rain in the forecast.Pitchers: LSU – Jr. RH Paul Skenes (at Air Force in 2022: 10-3, 2.73 ERA, 85.2 IP, 30 BB, 96 SO) WMU – Jr. RH Brady Miller (redshirted in 2022 due to injury) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishhead Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Um, can you please add Skenes batting stats? WTH is wrong with you?? Dude ain't a pitcher. He's a BASEBALL PLAYER! And JayB loved his MUSIC too! I'll be raising one up to JayB today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishhead Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Here's what I envision, but probably will NOT happen. Skenes goes 5 innings on the mound, strikes out 8 walks 1 Middle reliever comes in and Skenes puts on the gear, goes behind the dish and hits a homer in the 7th inning, throws out a would be base stealer in the 8th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Oh, and Morgan hoses a dude from left field in late innings (he did in the scrimmage the other night) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, if Paul Skenes wanted to, he could pitch to himself. Play pitcher AND catcher at the same time. But he throws too hard so might be a couple passed balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(remember, he's an Air Force guy and will obey his superior officers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 He's probably not even going to get an AB tonight either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchertiger Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Really liked the pitching today. Hope the wind isn’t blowing in tomorrow. Neal would have had a dinger Edited February 18, 2023 by Hatchertiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
