Hypotheticals for this fan base
Posted on 3/28/17 at 10:23 pm

How would this place react if either of these scenarios played out.
1. Our team lost four conference series, was swept in two of them, lost to Old Dominion twice in the midweek, Georgetown in a 1-0 shutout and VMI. Finished 15-15 in the league and was a Regional 3-seed. Would y'all be happy with that?
2. Our team loses midweek games to UNC-Greenboro, Longwood, College of Charleston and High Point, got swept a non-conference weekend against Charleston-Cincy-"Ole Miss" and another non-conference weekend against Georgia Tech and was a two seed in a road regional. Would y'all be happy with that?
3. How about if our team went 53-9 in the regular season, won 9 of 10 conference series before sweeping through the regional and super regional rounds before going 0-2 in Omaha. Would y'all be happy with that?
No. 1 is the 2015 UVA national champs.
No. 2 is the 106 Coastal Carolina national champs
No. 3 is the 2013 LSU team
I feel good about my assumption that this place wouldn't be too happy with any one of those results. The place goes up in flames after very loss in a 56 game season..
Those three scenarios tell you that the regular season isn't the end all be all. You can fly through it with ease and fall short in Omaha. You can grind through it with some serious bumps and turn it on at the right time. College baseball is totally unpredictable and really more of a game of chance.
Right now this team is not playing well. The bats are inconstant at best. The bullpen isn't five guys deep. Lange is hit or miss. But going crazy after every loss is just a tough way to follow a baseball team. Texas Tech, UNO, Florida Friday and Tulane were games that could have gone either way with one swing. Let's just take a deep breath and hope our guys start producing that swing.
Big series this weekend. Get 2 of three and we remain in a great spot.

The problem is a trend of not winning at the level LSU should be, with all the resources put into baseball.
Mainieri would be a good coach at Tennessee or Georgia, but he's not the caliber of coach we need here. To not be in a winner's bracket game in Omaha since 2009 is unacceptable. People are running out of patience at about the same rate we get thrown out at 2nd.

Thanks I needed that!

You are assuming the season ends in a championship.
That's comparing apples and rocks

The problem is, the losses are piling up.
RPI is an issue with these midweek games. People keep saying that if we win the SEC, that issue will take care of itself. My answer to that is if we're consistently losing to teams of "inferior" quality, what makes you think we'll win the SEC?

Good post, totally agree. Just got to grind through the regular season, hope we get hot in june

Sorry, Hunt.
Most 'Tards on this board trashing CPM and the Tigers see every game as a playoff game. Really.

Well I can promise you this team isn't going 53-9 so there goes that option
I'm just confused on the pitching decisions and pulls

Hunt-logic is unacceptable here/s

I'm sorry, I don't deal with hypotheticals. I see real time results and those results have been shite since 2009. Mainieri's brand of baseball sucks and lacks any and all logic. You can't base this year's baseball team off of what other baseball teams did in the past. It doesn't matter if we go undefeated all the way until the CWS, if we don't win the whole thing, it was all for nothing. This is LSU baseball, we've built this program to what it is by one thing and one thing only. And that is winning championships. Let FSU have the regular season championships, I want the only one that matters. And anybody who thinks otherwise is a shitty fan who accepts mediocrity.
