Three players had half the hits...

First games are kind of like that. I think last year we only had 4 or 5 hits in the first game.

ETA: Granted Cincys pitching was supposed to be horrendous. Maybe that will play out today.

After ONE game you make this assessment? Jesus Christ

The #3 team Vanderbilt lost to San Diego. I guess someone should tell their coach to pack things up not worth playing remainder of the year.

It was the first game for an extremely young team that is going to need to gain some experience before showing what they are truly capable of.

Now, here's my assessment. I got home late, so I didn't see the order the first time through, but I LOVE what I saw from Duplessis. He looks so confident up there and puts a great swing on the ball. I don't see him striking out often, and if Kramer doesn't work out in the lead off role, I think he would be great there. We hit some really hard balls last night, just right at people. The only one who really concerned me was Freeman, and he at least battled. I think he's going to see a steady dose of curves this year. Last night was a battle and to see a young team fight through adversity like that was exciting. This team could be scary good late in the year.

Dude.... Do you know anything about baseball? Did you play past t-ball? If so, then how can you make a statement like this off of literally the first game of the year?

Dude...Do you know anyrhing about reasoning? I didn't make a statement "literally" based off one game. I based it off the fact that we returned one position player, and although we should have very good pitching, I thought it would take most of the year before the young hitters learned to hit SEC pitching. I also based it off my observation that several of our young hitters looked completely unable to get a good swing at an average college curve ball. That's typical for young guys, but still...

As to my baseball knowledge, I would call it middling at best... about like your ability to reason and discuss.

You've got to be kidding me, man. The first game of the season and you make that kind of prediction? Baseball is a rhythm game first of all. The more you play, the better you get as a team. Second, you literally just predicted this off the very first game of a 56 game season.... What the frick have you seen in one game that leads to this? The ink on the lineup card hasn't even dried yet. Relax, it's a long season.

I was perfectly relaxed. Notice the cheers emoticon? Notice that I said they'd be fun to watch. As I told the other prick, I made no prediction based on the first game. That prediction (If you could call an "I doubt" statement a prediction) was made BEFORE the first game. Just like BEFORE last year's first game I predicted they'd be serious contenders.

Do you, and that other idiot (who doesn't know the difference between "no" and "know") really not make predictions before the season? I love LSU baseball. I'm going to really enjoy this season. If we're contending for the SEC championship heading into the last two weekends I'll be thrilled and surprised. If not, I'll just enjoy watching our hitters develop so that next year we can field another championship contender.

In the mean time I'm going to enjoy a beautiful day of baseball. Of course I'm predicting this based on the first hour of weather I've seen. I hope this doesn't offend you.

Half the batters got all the hits. What's your point?
