LSU losing to Coastal Carolina looking less bad

It's still bad.

Not really bad at all. They were a better team than us. We replaced 8/9 starters and still hosted a Super.

They bring a lot of firepower to the batters box. It's gonna be really tough for them to beat TCU 2X though.

For our part we needed about two more clutch hits and two more plays in the field and we're there. Not bad for team as young as we were.

some LSU fans are baseball snobs. because our program has had so much success we are supposed to be "better" than these schools few have even heard of.

just like stoney brook, coastal Carolina was one heck of a scrappy team. they put constant pressure on our pitchers and defense until a error or poor throw home allowed them to score. they manufactured runs.

plus there is something many in Louisiana do not know; THE CAROLINAS PRODUCE SOME DAMN GOOD BALL PLAYERS.

Right. Before we got hot we were fairly average. I give them credit for overachieving personally. I don't feel embarrassed at all about losing to CCU.

With that said LSU really should have won game 2 and forced the rubber match.

Definitely. They were extremely average before they took off. Great season overall considering the circumstances.

It's expected. You have a team with Poche and Lange. You belong there. No excuses there.

What are you going to say next year when most of the offense comes back? That we had to replace 2/3 of our weekend starters so it's okay?

All the teams left CCU, TCU, OSU, AZ had some head scratchers across the season. None were nat'l seeds. But they're all peaking at the right time. That's what's so key.

For example, CCU got swept by GaTech late April/early May.

They're a damn good team. They better win it all

They used up their only two relievers last night. If their starter doesn't pitch a complete game, they're going home.
