LSU Baseball

I am a firm believer that people outside of Louisiana don't understand how big today actually is. There are few corners of the US where college baseball means as much as it does within the state lines of Louisiana. But people outside of SEC Country have no idea about that...

We're on Opening Day Eve, and the LSU Tigers are ready to start one of their most anticipated seasons in recent memory. The squad is ranked atop most pre-season polls, there are multiple future MLB Draft Picks all over the roster, and players keep getting slotted into pre-season award lists...

Team USA has not placed in the top three of the World Baseball Classic since its three tournaments since 2006. USA's highest finish was fourth in 2006, with stars of the like of Derek Jeter, Chipper Jones and Roger Clemens, but still couldn't hold off South Korea and Mexico to finish just outside of a bronze medal...

Sure, the LSU Football team still has a bowl game to go in their season, and we're not looking past it, but there's LSU Baseball news to hit. One of the first college baseball polls of the year is out, and the LSU Tigers find themselves sitting pretty at #2 in the country...

LSU is about to give Paul Maineri a BIG raise. The Tigers' Baseball Manager is about to cross the One-Million-Dollars-A-Year mark with his new deal. The new contract will make him one of the highest paid public employees in the state of Louisiana...

Here's the breakdown from the Louisiana Radio Network: "Six LSU baseball players have been named this month to their respective summer collegiate league All-Star teams...

Sometimes you have to pack your pride away to get to your goal, and by the sound of it, former LSU Tiger Alex Bregman is prepared to do just that. Bregman is one of the hottest prospects in all of baseball, and is currently at the top of the prospect heap in the Houston Astros organization...

Great news for LSU baseball fans! One of the team's best players, has decided to forego his MLB draft spot, and rejoin the team. Last year, Jared Poche was one of the most dominant arms in Baton Rouge, and was a big reason the team made their post-season run...

LSU baseball could have used Alex Bregman this season. The Tigers had a fine season, but it could have been better, or at least easier, with Bregman. But instead of enjoying the Rally Possum in Baton Rouge, Bregman has been tearing up the minors for the Houston Astors...

Over the last 12 months, you've probably seen or heard Les Miles talking chicken. LSU's Football coach became a paid spokesperson for Raising Cane's Chicken-Fingers in 2015, and got a nice payday for it.
