I think ya'll have misunderstood me. I am not going to go into the threads and handpick the things that enraged me enough to start a thread like this one but a lot of things I saw were also ignorant.

One person said Lange was inconsistent. Then I saw a few people argue over LSU only being good at hitting when our ERA is 11th in the Nation. I just think our fans need to realize that this team, regardless of 2013, is a good team.

Everyone has weaknesses but the ones being pointed out right now, are wrong.

Our weakness is a few things

Walks - We are 11th in the Nation in Hits Allowed per 9 innings pitched but 83rd in Walks Allowed. A lot of the early runs and scoring comes from those Walks. If we can lower that number from 3.32 to 2.10, we win a National Title.

Jared Poche - Sorry but the time for him to move to the bullpen might be now. Or save him for the Supers or something to give him more rest. He has been rocked recently and he has given up at least 1 run in the 1st inning the last 4 games.

Closer - Jesse Stallings was great early on, he isn't that great now. He is good but the confidence isn't there anymore. Hunter Newman might be better as the Closer or Parker Bugg, as I stated before the season, could fit better. Stallings as the setup man. Or Doug Norman as SU

Old School ball - Sometimes, bunting a runner over is a smart play instead of stealing and being too aggressive and having a runner thrown out at second base. We need to find a better balance of aggressive play and smart play

I thought OLD SCHOOL BALL was Gorilla Ball. Fastest overall LSU Team in years. We need to keep the pressure on the pitchers.

SMALL BALL SUCKS!!!
