Hopefully they come out with that same anger tthey've had after some of the other losses and embarrass the chili peppas.
This.
We have responded really well to losses so far this year.

Once again what you post doesn't mean shite. All those you threw out to cover the stupidity of your we know what we are talking about as much as PM, won only to watch their programs fall into mediocrity. In case you haven't noticed, LSU is still winning tournament championships, still highly ranked, and has been in or one win away from the CWS four of the eight years Mainieri has been at LSU.
The senseless pissing and moaning over the LSU coaching and players in a program of the type we have is asinine.

SEC tournament titles are meaningless. It's one weekend of good baseball.
How bout advancing in the NCAA postseason? That's what counts.
How many SEC Tournament championships did Skip win? Nobody cares. We know how many trips to Omaha and how many national titles he won.

Didn't we go to Omaha two seasons ago? Does that count?

We should all be able to agree that Mainieri is a good coach but he has screwed us in the past. Including last years regional and this past weekend.

We're getting into the realm of opinions and relative success. People will feel that Omaha is enough. Others will think 1 championship in the last 15 years (or 8 years) is a problem. It's something that people can go back and forth over for forever.

Of course.
But there's a threshold between making points of criticism and just harping on the same shite over and over and over again to the point that the board is practically unbearable and void of any real discussion. It's gotten completely out of control IYAM.

Under the bus
That’s where I do my self analysis. I’m mad at myself for pinch-running for Chris Chinea (Sunday). Bet that thought never crossed any of your minds, right?” the coach continued. “I pinch-ran for Chris Chinea. And in the bottom of the 11th with two outs, Chris Chinea’s spot comes up, and I have to have Grayson Byrd hit instead.”
Outside of those decisions, Mainieri said shortstop Alex Bregman should have let a potential game-winning hit skip in front of him Friday. Conner Hale’s hard grounder in the 11th inning smacked Bregman near the ankle. He was ruled out, and the inning ended.
“That’s bad luck, but you make your own bad luck there. He should have stopped and let the ball go,” Mainieri said. “He didn’t, and he reacted the way he thought he should, and it didn’t work out.”
In that same game, Sciambra overran Jared Foster on the base path between first and second and was called out. All three base runners on Sciambra’s shot to right-center were at fault, Mainieri said.
The coach isn’t fretting over bullpen woes, but his confidence might be rattled in some of the guys. The relievers allowed 13 hits and eight runs Sunday.
“(Collin) Strall has had three sub-par performances now in a row. Alden (Cartwright) has not been as good as he was earlier in the year,” Mainieri said. “I think our bullpen is going to be fine. There’s no reason for any overhauls or panic.
“Certain guys, your confidence grows in, and certain guys you start to lose a little confidence in because they’re not getting the job done on a regular basis,” he said.

We discuss a wide variety of topics dealing with the baseball team. You would rather just wave pom poms and not have an opinion at all. You're content to sit back and say, "He's the head coach, he knows best."
