re: Am I the only one that thinks this is still a really good baseball team?

I can't believe how many dudes are on here whining that we shouldn't be top 8 and Arkansas is about to sweep.

I think we pull one from Arkansas, but do you honestly think LSU is one of the best 8 teams in the country right now?

Baseball is a long season and this team isn't going to be the same team in 2 months.

Agreed.

Maybe in the only one or I'm drinking the Koolaid but I this is the best team since 2017 outside of the 2023 squad.

You might very well be correct, but there’s not much that supports that at the moment.

I don't think Milam is going to stay in this slump, I think Tommy white will hit his stride, I like the play of Ethan Frye, Josh Pearson is coming on strong, Jared Jones would have had 2 more jacks this weekend without that wild wind, Travinskis tearing the seams off the ball, mac is playing well. We have a deep staff and a top flight Friday guy.

Here the thing, you just named all of those guys that are playing well, and we are still losing games and getting run ruled. We need other guys to step up as well and not many of them are doing so. Also think it’s becoming clear that the pitching staff isn’t as deep as many of of thought, at least not right now.

TLDR: I agree that the team isn’t done improving, but to act like it’s a given that they will figure it all out this season is dumb. This team has some major problems that they need to figure out. If they do, they will end up being very good, if they don’t, it will be a long season. It is what it is
