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

But pitching overrules everything, and that’s what we don’t have this year.

I don’t agree with this. The staff looks a lot better than I thought they would be. We have a legit Friday arm in Money, and Hilliard is a productive starter, too. We have three good high leverage guys in Gervase, Fontenot and Reyzelman. Ty Floyd gives you a fourth, because he clearly isn’t going through SEC lineups twice. Vietmeier is a good Sunday inning eater. Dutton, Edwards and Hellmers are all guys who can pitch. Grant Taylor looks fantastic so far; that’s probably your third starter. If we can get Coleman back (doubtful) the staff should become a strength.

This team needs to play defense. If they can clean that up this is an Omaha team, but that’s a tall order.
