Plenty of crow to be eaten when Johnson gets this LSU team to Omaha

LSU has plenty of good pitchers and hitters just not great ones yet, with a little more seasoning as with LSU’s fielding, this team could become a very strong contender for Omaha. Johnson knows LSU is not where it needs to be yet, but has plenty of talent to get there.
Money would have won LSU this game no doubt. LSU has enough talented arms that eventually a couple more will turn into “money”. You just sense this is a much more talented LSU team overall than in the last few years, with more quality hitters throughout the line up. It’s just going to take more time to get them consistent at the plate and mound.

I applaud your optimism, but you must be hitting the Delta 8 pretty hard this morning. This is still a CPM team. I'd temper my expectations if I were you, or you'll be sadly disappointed by mid-season.

This team isn’t that good. Bad coaching on defense, no dominant pitching and to inconsistent at the plate. The only thing I can blame on johnson right now is the defense. We make far to many errors and that needs to be tightened up. As far as the pitching, Maineri left him nothing.

Corky,
The only way Johnson has this team in Omaha is if the team bus gets lost coming home from a series at Chadron State and stops to askfor directions.

Pitching is too suspect. Not a dominant arm on team

This team will come around. My only I have 2 major issues. One believing you can start a pitcher in the SEC that has no secondary pitches and throws fastballs right down the pipe. Start one of the freshman Taylor or Dutton. The second thing is defensive errors. Ok one more clutch or timely hitting .

Fielding! We suck at it. It’s not just errors; it’s also good plays that are not being made. Last night Gio had two plays on which he left his feet and dropped fly balls. One was a fairly easy play and the other would have been a highlight reel play. He came up with neither. Berry cost us runs when he didn’t transfer and throw quickly in the eighth. Thompson cost us twice; once was an error on a throw to first, and the other was a bobbled relay throw to pick off a runner returning to first. In addition to the bobble, he was saved from an error when his shite throw was dug up by Morgan. Bianco misplayed a fly ball. Maybe there was more.
Our fielding is so bad I don’t think it’s fixable. It’s certainly possible that we could get to a Super Regional and not have a lot of errors, but I would not bet on it.

Are you going to eat crow when one of the best offensive lineups on paper doesn’t make Omaha?
You have 2 all Americans in Crews and Berry
The best pure hitter we have seen in a long time with Morgan
A top 20 draft prospect in Doughty
The SEC rbi leader with Dugas
That’s 5 outstanding hitters and Johnson is supposed to be a hitting coach. I seriously doubt he ever has more hitting talent than that.

I think this team has a chance to play really well down the home stretch of the season, but they've got to get significantly better defensively and more consistent starting pitching. Those are massive concerns at the moment.

Ok I'll be optimistic only on one condition. IF we can become a great defensively. Right now we are last in the SEC in the category.

Agreed and WAY too early to be pulling the plug on this team. They have elite players at every position, and when it clicks… they will be a tough out. Casual baseball fans need to chill and try to enjoy the ride. There will be some rough games and some big wins, and the goal is to get better each day. Jay Johnson is a great coach and I trust he will fix these issues.

Not with the defense we have. No shot.

We should have hired Godwin

Not near enough pitching, sorry.

Cannot imagine this team being higher than six or seven in SEC. Still gets in regional. Maybe they will develop.
Pitching is a big challenge.
Hitters not so dominant against SEC and power five competitors
Still optimistic

If we're lucky, and this is a big if, this team MIGHT go .500 in conference. And that would take huge improvements.

This team was highly overhyped and overrated. The opening series against Maine fooled most everybody, including myself. Fielding, hitting, pitching, and coaching are all suspect at this point.

I don’t get what they saw in Floyd so far this year that made them think he was ready to start against an SEC lineup. Until he can develop more he needs to pitch mid week or in mop up situations. Johnson is going to have to really manage this pitching staff close if we’re going to have a chance at winning some SEC series this year.
