I love LSU baseball and i do think this team has improved but when you get into tournaments, pitching depth is a must. The SEC tournament 4-5 games in 5 days. NCAA regionals, if you lose 1 game you play 5 games in 4 days. Lastly, World Series you will play 6-8 games over 12 days. In other words IF we make it into any of these tournaments we could not lose 1 game if we expect to have a chance

We'll be fine at the SEC Tournament. Paul has some secret magic or something with end of the bench pitchers at that tournament. Rarely used relievers end up starting a game at Hoover and pitch the game of their life.

I agree with the SEC tournament. That's a grind that typically requires deep pitching and/or for some arms to emerge out of nowhere.

Regionals and supers are not quite the same. You can run through a regional and super regional with a handful of good arms. Yes, it becomes a grind if you lose a game but 2 good arms could get you to 2-0 quick. This is why I'd really like to see us sneak into a regional - Marceaux and Labas can hurt some feelings.

The CWS can be a grind, too.
