I'm not sure if I deserve a big dish, but regardless I was wrong about this team to an extent.

I remember posting in a thread early April how I didn't think this team had done enough to that point to host. Actually that was pure facts, but I honestly thought this team was terrible and poorly coached.
I didn't think this team would accomplish anything. I thought PM's days were behind him and we were in trouble.

With that said, I've always been a passionate LSU baseball fan. Probably as equal as to football. I never stopped supporting, watching or attending. I just thought we weren't very good. And maybe we weren't. We definitely were not playing up to level we should have and that's become apparent.

So I can no longer say anything negative about this team. I believe we are one of the best teams in the country. I think we're playing good ball and clicking on all cylinders. I have to apologize to CPM as well. I look forward to the next couple weekends in Baton Rouge.

Sooooooo...Serve it hot or cold, because I don't care. The Tigers are on a mofo'n war path to Omaha!

They surprised me as I had them in critical condition not too long ago. They are playing well in all facets.

This team was frustrating to watch at times because of what we saw last season. The way they turned it on last year, and we returned so many, many of us expected the team to be strong out of the gate. The pitching was expected to be much improved too. It didn't happen. Many times I asked out loud to friends and even on here "what is the problem? we've seen them play better than this". Within the last month they have turned it on to be the team we thought they should be. I'm guilty too.

Let's just hope they keep their feet on the gas pedal and drive this thing straight through Omaha and over anything in their way.

I can appreciate this

Dude, it's baseball....anything can happen. Don't overreact until the season is over(something I've learned since I've gotten older in my (fanhood).

Nothing wrong with being passionate, just don't let it turn you into one of the posters on here that claims to love the tigers, but every post reads like hate mail.

Don't eat crow, just enjoy the ride with the rest of us

Sometimes criticism is deserved though. When they were playing bad, they deserved criticism.

Now all the people mailing it in and saying we were done were fools, I mean we've been there before. Mediocre start and then turn it on in the back half of the season. It's nothing new and there was no reason to think it couldn't be done. But the way they had played to the point when they were 10-8 in conference yeah they deserved criticism. Doesn't make someone a negative or fake fan, it just is what it is.

That said, when they're playing well like they have they deserve praise too, and that's where we are now. I've thoroughly enjoyed this run and the fact that they're finally playing to their capabilities. Looking forward to the postseason.

How about you have some fricking perspective? When lsu loses a random midweek game in March you're in a nuclear meltdown mode and want everyone fired and the team is shite. Then we're doing better and now you're full speed ahead "on a warpath to Omaha" and everything is sunny and happy. Hope sorry for calling for CPM's job and you're ready to cheer on your Tigers. And now you want to tell the world how proud you are. frick you.

What happens if they don't make it to Omaha. Then you're a whiny bitch again and you'll be spewing your negative shite again. Realize we aren't the best or worst team in the country and teams go up and down. Learn to accept this and your life will be a lot easier.

You are the best kind of fan. The mindless drones, that pump sunshine no matter what, are the idiots.

I mean preseason expectations where overwhelmingly Omaha or bust. It's not always like that, sometimes with a really young team this would be an overachieving season to be at this point. But with this team we've so far met expectations. Retrospectively I can deal with the CC loss because they won it all and beat some other good teams to do so, it wasn't just us. Houston and Stony Brook though, yeah that wasn't acceptable.

-I didn't think LSU's hitting would come around...it did.

-I didn't think Walker would be a solid 3rd in the rotation...he is.

-There was a point in the season where I didn't think LSU would host a Regional more less become a National Seed...they are.

I can keep going but I'll just enjoy the Crow gumbo and cheer on the Tigers to make it to Omaha.

When they were playing bad


Losing mid-week games or a SEC road series is not playing bad. Teams playing bad don't remain in the top 10 almost the whole season. Where does this playing bad bull shite some from?

Anyone paying attention to LSU baseball in the past decade should know our teams are not fast starters, but they normally end the regular season strong.

How about some faith rather than throwing the team under the bus like chicken shite fans because they don't play great every fricking game or series but still remain highly ranked.

Pump the brakes guys.

He does this every year. It's the post season he puts so much pressure on his team that they get tight as turtle twat.

I hope this year is different but this is when we find out if anything has changed.

this. fans have rights to opinions and when a team is playing bad it's not "illegal" to speak of it. my only confession is that I seriously was questioning Alan Dunn at the time where neither our starters or bull pen could throw a strike and it seemed Lange was regressing for a second straight year. while the facts were out there supporting that it got turned around and I commend Dunn for that. I never criticize pitching moves as I coached and I can tell you it's a crap shoot; all you have is past history and stats to support you as it is IMPOSSIBLE to predict future human performance.

I'm hoping the Senior leadership can handle the pressure that usually hampers the team in the post season.

It's pretty obvious this team is a juggernaut when they're playing loose!

Why would you apologize for having higher expectations of CPM and his coached team was delivering? If you were critical of him for not having the team ready to play, and losing to inferior teams, that is not a bad thing. I believe most on here that were critical were not settling for the team's performance, in the moment, and that is on the coach. It is very encouraging to see CPM get this team up and hot at the right time.

This thread should be 50 pages with the rantard baseball experts we've had this season.
