Now that you mention it, I watched the first half of the Zapruder film last night and it was completely peaceful. People were smiling and waiving and appeared to be having a good time. I am really starting to doubt those people who keep pushing the narrative that Kennedy was assassinated. They only want you to see the negative and divide this country. What is their agenda? Who is paying them to lie?
I am not shitting on Duplantier. I am saying that he is more effective in other situations. He has good off-speed shit and he needs to come in in situations where he has the freedom to allow a runner on base.
Bringing a guy like him in the 9th and 11th respectively, when there are multiple runners on base is a disaster.
My take aways from LSU game.
The good:
LBJ looked really fucking good. I couldn't tell if it was a slider or split that he was throwing around 89mph but it moved like a mother fucker and LSU had no clue what to do with it. He located his fastball very well and ended up with a shit ton of Ks.
Campbell is finally seeing the ball. He hit it hard just right at people.
Burke is going to be a monster.
Guillemette had some nice swings and is solid on defense.
Although our offense didn't produce a run, they were were competitive against stellar pitching.
The first lefty out of the pen for LSU, who looked like a fat member of an outlaw biker gang, was nasty as shit. Everything he threw moved.
Kennedy is a great defensive player.
The Bad:
Daly continues to struggle at the plate and looks nothing like he did freshman year.
O'Dowd looked utterly clueless up there.
Even thought Kennedy doubled, it was a very weird swing he put on that ball.
Thomas missed an easy pick.
Pierce made some very odd decisions about who should be on the hill.
This team has no power.
Duplantier didn't look comfortable in his warm ups. You could see it on his face. He was either nervous as shit, in pain or knew he didn't have it.
Burke should have been in the game in the 8th and 9th. He has the correct mentality. That dude is a closer.
