If the only way you can enjoy sports is by watching a championship season you should probably get out now and save yourself a lot of misery.
What happened to just enjoying following the ups and downs of a team over the course of a season?
The baseball team is good, maybe not great. There are worse things. To compare it to the colossal disappointment that was the basketball season seems a bit of a reach. Baseball is still on track to host a regional.
Just try to enjoy the games and let things play out.

I am starting to wonder if we will ever see another major sport NC in my lifetime. Call me spoiled but I thought we would easily have another in baseball and FB with all the talent paraded out in the last decade.

How do you even compare the two?
Basketball- Projected #1 pick in the draft coming into the season and don't make the tourney.
Baseball- return only 1 everyday starter and will make the tournament.
Your expectations for basketball were not met, but for you to say that the baseball team is a failure of that magnitude, proves that your expectations of baseball were too high to begin with.

Was last night the first LSU baseball game that some people watched? This team has been inconsistent all year but steadily improving. They show up focused on SEC weekends and against top notch pitching then struggle in midweek games with lack of focus. That is what inexperienced teams do.

Just curious, how many baseball games have you attended this season?
Zero and what does that have to do with anything? So now you have to attend sporting events to make a comment or be a true fan?

Sure seems like it, and there are plenty more who won't watch a game until postseason. The game thread was full of people saying that this team can't hit, never mind that we hit great twice against MSU just last weekend.

Yea when May comes around I get out of the game threads.

Huh?
Basketball had big expectations (Simmons, Quarterman, Victor, Blakeney, etc) and we missed the tournament.
Baseball had minimal expectations (lost 8 of 9 position starters) and we're in line for a regional host right now.

People just love cross-sport comparisons on here, even when they don't logically work. There was someone in the game thread who was predicting the start of a baseball collapse down the stretch, not based on anything about the baseball team, but because football and basketball had both done it.

To tell you the truth, I've been burnt out on LSU sports for a while. It's just not as much fun as it was in college to get emotional about it. Priorities change; life styles change. I don't have as much time to worry about LSU's athletic department anymore, so I choose not to. I follow and still go to many games, but when it's over, it's over.

I have been worn out with LSU sports since November...baseball to me has actually been a bright spot. Have done better than I thought and are showing promise to be a tough out in post season.

It's called the LSU 4th Quarter Collapse
75% into LSU Football's schedule the (7-0) Tigers lost to Bama and collapsed the rest of the season winning just 1 remaining regular season game. (25% winning percentage)
78% in the LSU Basketball schedule the (16-9) Tigers lost to Bama and collapsed the rest of the season winning just 2 remaining regular season games. (33% winning percentage)
Last night (27-13) LSU was going into 74.5% of the schedule losing to Tulane. So its acceptable if the Baseball team falls apart with the remaining games on the year.

Isn't it really 7 of 8 position players, and a few who DH, and played multiple positions during the season like Foster and Chinea? Maybe it was the equivalent of losing 10 position players. Plus added a 3rd starting pitcher this year that matches up pretty well to opposing SEC teams but not all, unlike last year when no 3rd starter emerged or could perform well enough to maintain the spot? This team is about where I expected, they have spurts of good to really good play and a few too many WTF games that is typical of meshing a lot of first year starters until they gain much needed game experience versus good teams. The biggest surprise is the Lange struggles and hopefully he is trending back to last year performance-wise. The lack of a dependable all around 1B is an issue.
I didn't expect too much from basketball as many of the surrounding cast that couldn't add much with Mickey and Martin were still playing, but with the lack of defensive effort in many games I just quit watching.

Just about all of them and if not watching then listening to them on the radio.
I still don't get how not going to either a football, basketball or baseball game live has to do with not putting much effort into being a fan or not. This really makes no sense.

bandwagon fan----support the team as long as things are going as well as expected or better than expected.

Well, it certainly doesn't help when we have an athletic director who explicitly and publicly says that our goal is NOT to win championships. With that as our official policy, of course we aren't going to play for championships.

So what happens if we don't win the CWS this year, don't get in the football playoffs?
Not a damn thing, the world keeps turning. Why make yourself miserable with unrealistic expectations? Enjoy life for what it is. Take life as it happens.
