Social media reacts to LSU baseball winning the national championship vs. Coastal Carolina
The 2025 national championship is headed back to Baton Rouge as LSU baseball held on late to defeat Coastal Carolina 5-3 in game two of the College World Series finals. The Tigers went undefeated in Omaha to claim their eighth national title in program history. They rode shutdown pitching performances from Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson, as well as their top relievers inside Charles Schwab Stadium. Eyanson went 6.1 innings, surrendering three runs on two homers, with nine strikeouts on 99 pitches. Chase Shores ended a stellar postseason showing by earning the save, accumulating four strikeouts through 2.2 innings, holding the Chanticleers scoreless as they tried to mount a late-game comeback. LSU went down by one in the bottom of the second but tied the game in the third and took the lead for good in the fourth. Ethan Frey came up big once again out of the two-hole, totaling three hits and one RBI. Derek Curiel and Chris Stanfield finished with two RBI apiece. What are LSU fans saying about winning the national championship? Former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne spent a few days in Omaha watching the Tigers and celebrated their national championship. LSU football offensive coordinator Joe Sloan and defensive coordinator Blake Baker as well as head coach Brian Kelly posted their support for the team throughout the College World Series. It appears the program watched the game from the indoor practice field in Baton Rouge. Head coach Jay Johnson made history in his own right by guiding the Tigers to the national championship for the second time during his tenure. Former LSU fullback and 2007 national champion Jacob Hester showed support for the Tigers. Their eight national championships are the second most in the country, behind USC's 12.

ESPN writer argues LSU has surpassed USC as college baseball's greatest program
Over the weekend, LSU baseball defeated Coastal Carolina in the championship round of the Men's College World Series. With the win, the Tigers claimed their eighth national championship, and their second in three years. USC, of course, has won the most national championships of any program, with 12 titles. After LSU's latest triumph, however, ESPN's Ryan McGee argued that the Tigers have now surpassed the Trojans as college baseball's greatest program. 'LSU does not own the record for most national championship rings,' McGee wrote. 'That belongs to USC. But none of the Trojans' dozen championships have come during this century. Their last win was in 1998, and that was their first in 20 years. No one will ever replicate what head coach Rod Dedeaux's teams did, winning seven of their titles during an 11-year span from 1968 to 1978. But Bertman's teams won five in 10 years, between 1991 and 2000. Now current head coach Jay Johnson, who has said the best part of the job is his friendship with Bertman, has won two in three seasons. 'USC made its first appearance in 1948, and Texas made its debut one year later, participants in the last two Series played before the event was moved to Omaha. They have compiled their prodigious numbers over the span of 75-plus summers. LSU didn't crash the party until 1986. It won its first title five years later. 'So, all that the Tigers have accomplished has taken place over a lengthy yet comparatively compressed period of time. And that makes their résumé all the more impressive. 'Everything they [LSU] do now is just more icing on the King Cake. College baseball's kings. A crown that now feels indisputable.' USC fans will almost certainly disagree with McGee's assessment. However, the Trojans have won just one national title since 1980, and pretty much no USC fan under the age of 30 has any memory of the program being elite. Hence, the Trojans' focus should be on head coach Andy Stankiewicz's efforts to restore USC baseball to its glory days, rather than what outsiders may think of where they stand.

Yankees-Red Sox Trade Idea Sends Proven Postseason Star to New York
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees lost Gerrit Cole to Tommy John surgery in the spring, but never really made a move to replace him. The Yankees hoped to have Cole, Max Fried and Luis Gil leading their rotation this season. Gil and Fried were still slated to be a great duo, but Gil has been on the injured list all season. Now, Ryan Yarbrough, who had pitched well for the Yankees since joining the rotation, is also on the injured list. If the Yankees were running away with the American League East, they could afford to simply wait on their arms to get healthy. However, the Tampa Bay Rays have been the biggest surprise in baseball and are just 2 1/2 games out of the division lead. The Yankees need to add an arm, even if Gil and Yarbrough return. BOSTON, MA - APRIL 21: Walker Buehler #0 of the Boston Red Sox pitches against the Chicago White Sox during the first inning at Fenway Park on April 21, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. BOSTON, MA - APRIL 21: Walker Buehler #0 of the Boston Red Sox pitches against the Chicago White Sox during the first inning at Fenway Park on April 21, 2025 in Boston, key for the Yankees will be finding a rental arm who can take the ball in October. Sports Illustrated's Colin Keane suggested the Yankees go after the pitcher who ended their season last year, Walker Buehler. Buehler has struggled for the Boston Red Sox this year, but has a track record of success when it counts. In 19 postseason appearances, 18 starts, Buehler has a 3.04 ERA. He is a two-time World Series champion and dominated the Yankees in the World Series. He threw five shutout innings in Game 3 of the Fall Classic and then notched a series-clinching save on one day of rest. The only runs Buehler gave up last postseason came in the second inning of Game 3 of the National League Division Series. In his final 13 innings of the postseason, he had 13 strikeouts and was key to the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series title. The Red Sox are a half-game out of a wild card spot entering play on Monday, so they may not be inclined to sell, especially to the Yankees. However, if they fall out of contention, the Yankees could show interest in Buehler. His 5.95 ERA this season is less than encouraging, but the Yankees would be banking on him dominating in October. Buehler is a two-time All-Star and could be a free agent after the season. He has a $25 million mutual option for next season. The Yankees could put his arm to good use if the Red Sox fall out of contention. More MLB: Yankees Trade Idea Brings Cy Young Award Winner to New York After Ryan Yarbrough Injury
