Nope thats in Minnesota. Land O'Lakes in Florida is about as good as it gets for Pasco County (north of Tampa), vast other parts of the county are only good if you're trying to buy meth.
We threw every available pitcher we had on the roster in the three game series against them. By the end of game three, we were out of competitive bullets.
Honestly, anything past game one will be, especially if we have to use more than 1-2 of our best bullpen arms. Gonzo being able to eat up 5-7 innings every outing just does so much for our own depth, and without him, it’s gonna be a long, stressful few weeks.
Really hope this formats properly. Week 6 Player Rankings: Top 100 Starting Pitchers TOP STORIES D1 Baseball Staff - March 28, 2023 With six weeks in the books, we’re more than a third of the way through the 2023 college baseball season, so it’s time to update our Player Rankings. When we put together our Preseason All-America teams, we followed one guiding principle: If we were building a team to win the 2023 national title, which players would we choose? We use the same philosophy to construct our Power Rankings. Now we have six weeks of performance to draw upon, and we took early-season statistics into consideration, but we also tried to keep the numbers in context, because some leagues or ballparks are more offensive than others, and the quality of nonconference competition varies widely — so not all stat lines are created equal. In addition to the 2023 numbers, we also considered raw talent, long-term track record from previous seasons and makeup. And for premium defensive positions like catcher and shortstop, defensive statistics and ability were also weighted more heavily. These are NOT professional prospect lists, though they do take pure talent into consideration. Finally, remember that there are nearly 300 Division I teams, and we’re ranking roughly the top 10 percent at each position. These lists reflect our projections of which players are the best of the best this spring, but many good players in the remaining 90 percent just didn’t make the cut. We’ll revisit the Player Rankings again after Week 12 and make adjustments as players prove themselves on the field. With all that said, here’s a look at the top 100 starting pitchers in college baseball at the six-week mark. First-team preseason All-American Paul Skenes of LSU takes over the No. 1 spot from Tennessee’s Chase Dollander, while Wake Forest’s Rhett Lowder holds steady at No. 2, leading a group of three Demon Deacons in the Top 10.

So, you just assumed I had the extra SEC package? Because of course I do! Etheridge: SEC Weekend Dish SEC EXTRA Mark Etheridge - March 27, 2023 Here are the biggest takeaways from the SEC weekend. Spoiler LSU now has series wins over two top division rivals, with the Saturday doubleheader drubbing over Arkansas on the heels of Friday’s classic pitching duel that derailed into a thudding defeat. The Tigers are batting .332 as a team, and Dylan Crews is at an astounding .531/.658/.988. We’re getting to the point in the season where Crews is starting to slide from player of the year contender into a historical conversation, comparing what he is doing to some of the best ever at LSU and throughout the conference. Likewise, this is true for ace Paul Skenes, who handcuffed the Razorbacks Friday with two hits in seven innings with 12 strikeouts. No one is this consistent, but to this point, Skenes has been the exception. In other pitching news, Ty Floyd was really good in his start, but Thatcher Hurd lasted only two innings, with Garrett Edwards stealing the show with four scoreless relief innings. The Tigers host Tennessee next weekend. Arkansas is going to be a huge problem every Friday as long as Hunter Hollan and Hagen Smith piggyback the game. The questions come in the next two games when they need relief innings. In Saturday’s double-dip, which included a shortened run-rule, seven-inning game, the bullpen allowed 15 hits and 15 runs in eight innings. The Hogs’ offense had moments but struggled at times, as many will, versus LSU pitching. We’re not worried about the offense or the pitching either, other than the depth. The Hogs host Alabama next weekend. Ethan Petry hit four home runs this and had a game-winning hit in the 12th inning finale to lead South Carolina to a three-game sweep over Missouri. USC slugged eight home runs in the three-game series, winning a pair of tight games and cruising in the other. At 6-0 in SEC play and heading to a struggling Mississippi State next weekend, the Gamecocks are in a prime position for all their goals this season. Gavin Casas at 13 and Petry at 12 are second and third, respectively, in the conference in homers. Missouri has to feel as if it let a series get away from them at South Carolina. With a blown lead Friday and a 12-inning game where they pitched the center fielder five innings due to staff injuries, the Tigers still had opportunities to win the series. Mizzou lost Tony Neubeck last weekend, and game one and two starters Chandler Murphy and Ian Lohse each left with an injury this weekend. Sam Horn was already out. Mizzou needs good news getting these pitchers back for its trip to Kentucky next week. Auburn got some injured position players back as both Bobby Peirce and Cooper McMurray helped the offense in a series win over Georgia. Auburn is still a work in process on the mound. It worked great in game two as four pitchers held Georgia to three runs, but it kind of all fell apart Saturday, allowing a 16-run eighth inning where Georgia sent 19 batters to the plate. Auburn rallied for an 11-inning win in game one, scoring three in the ninth to force extras. This is a team that, assuming there’s no 16-run inning, is never out of a game. Auburn heads to Florida next week. Georgia dropped a series at Auburn and is still struggling to put away leads. The Bulldogs were a two-out throwing error in game one from a victory. Jaden Woods pitched well on Friday until one bad inning derailed him. The Bulldogs have a strong offense, but the pitching, while it has many options, lacks consistency. A reliever may pitch great one outing and falter the next. Unless that stabilizes, Georgia is going to struggle to make the postseason. It heads to red-hot Vanderbilt next weekend. Florida went to Oxford and returned with a sweep. The story was Jac Caglianone and the Florida slugging offense, with 10 combined home runs in the series. Cags had four of them, including one in each game. Wyatt Langford returned to action in all three games and had a homer as well. Freshman catcher Luke Heyman got the start Sunday and hit a pair of home runs. The bullpen pitched well, especially Phillip Abner, Brandon Neely, and Chris Arroyo. However, the starting trio was not as sharp, including Caglianone, who only allowed one hit but walked eight in his 3.1-inning start. After a marquee midweek matchup against Florida State in Jacksonville Tuesday, the Gators are back home against Auburn next weekend. Ole Miss is now 0-6 in SEC play after being swept at home by Florida, following the road sweep at Vanderbilt. Now, on one hand, those are two really talented opponents playing at a high level. On the other hand, Ole Miss is not pitching well enough to defeat those kinds of offenses. The Rebels’ lineup still has a lot of quality hitters and can slug its way to a win. If the Rebels can get deeper starts, they could claw back into a solid postseason position. It all starts in College Station next week. Vanderbilt destroyed Mississippi State 26-3, 18-5, and 11-7 to move to 6-0 in SEC play. Since beginning conference play, Vandy is batting .366 in six games with 19 home runs, both league bests. The pitching has remained strong, especially while the games were competitive. With 1-5 Georgia in Nashville next weekend, Vanderbilt has a chance to continue its offensive resurgence. As good as Vanderbilt has been, the inverse is the case with Mississippi State. The starting pitching isn’t going deep, and the bullpen hasn’t provided any answers. Coach Chris Lemonis inserted closer Nate Dohm as a starter Sunday since he had not appeared during the weekend, but even that didn’t work out. That was unfortunate since the MSU lineup responded with seven runs. The starters aren’t handling multiple trips through the order, and the bullpen isn’t inspiring enough confidence to pull the starters earlier. It’s a ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t’ problem on the mound. The Bulldogs host undefeated South Carolina next weekend. Kentucky impressed this weekend with a road series win at Alabama and held the lead for the first 28 innings of 30 in the series. The Wildcats play an aggressive, small-ball style exemplified by 18 stolen bases in six SEC games and three successful squeeze bunts in Saturday’s victory. The pitching continues to excel, with Logan Martin returning for a two-inning stint Friday. As he ramps back up, it will be interesting to see how Nick Mingione and the staff handle Martin’s role along with the other starters, Darren Williams, Tyler Bosma, and Zack Lee. All pitched well in Tuscaloosa, as they have all season. Kentucky hosts Missouri next weekend. Alabama salvaged a game in its series for the second consecutive week, winning the final game versus Kentucky. The Crimson Tide sit at 2-4, heading to Fayetteville next weekend. After a strong showing offensively in the early season, Alabama managed just six hits in Friday’s loss. The offense responded Saturday with 12 hits but allowed Kentucky to score nine runs on 10 hits. Then Sunday, Alabama had just five hits but won due to stellar pitching by Grayson Hitt and Kade Woods. Bama changed the rotation, inserting Luke Holman into the Saturday spot, and he allowed four hits and four runs in three innings. Tennessee rebounded nicely after last weekend’s disappointment with a three-game sweep of Texas A&M. The Vols scored 27 in the three games, and while their pitching wasn’t dominant like last season, the lineup picked up the slack. This was just the kind of solid offensive performance Tony Vitello asked for in anticipation of next weekend’s monster matchup at LSU. However, the rotation trio has looked more like a normal SEC trio as opposed to the best in the nation. Maybe our expectations are too high. As a note, Tennessee used 10 pitchers in Sunday’s victory. Texas A&M didn’t get the starts they needed in Knoxville and fell to 1-5 after two challenging weekends. They host Ole Miss next week. Justin Lamkin moved into the rotation and pitched 4.1 innings. Troy Wansing lasted only 1.1 in game two. Nathan Dettmer went five on Friday but allowed nine runs. To be competitive in the SEC, that has to improve. The Aggies host Ole Miss next weekend in what now looks like a vitally important series for both teams. Here’s my pecking order after two weeks: LSU Florida Vanderbilt Arkansas Tennessee South Carolina Kentucky Missouri Alabama Auburn Texas A&M Ole Miss Georgia Mississippi State
