First off, this team is deep as shite and it’s scary. You’ve got guys sitting on the bench that would start on many SEC teams.

I thought last night was a heck of a baseball game. Good teams find a way to win games. Their bats were off last night but the fielding and pitching was stellar.

My only complaint to date is we need to cut down on the Ks. Too much boom or bust right now. I’ve liked the lineup the last few games but I’d like to see a few guys that have proven they can hit. When White is back I’d like to see more Pearson, Kling, and Beloso.

It’s going to be a hell of a ride boys.

This rant has a very weird infatuation with Beloso.

They are working ABs and ultimately will have more Ks then most teams, I'll take that trade off from the pop I've seen so far. Also, the last thing with this team I'm worried about is the hitting.

If we can pitch and field the way we have through the first 8 games, WATCH OUT. We need to keep that up and goals will be hit.

The good news is that this looks to be the best pitching staff that LSU has ever had; this will give us a chance to win any game that we play. The hitting leaves a lot to be desired at this time. We swing at way too many breaking pitches that are not strikes; this is causing too many strike outs. I am sure the lineup will be constantly tweaked moving forward. Jobert's play in the outfield needs to improve.

If you look all over baseball, this is a current trend. From travel ball to MLB, everyone is swinging for the fences. Add to that more analytics are going into pitching. Hitters always read scout reports in pitchers, now more pitchers are getting better scouting on hitters.

Since 2005, in the MLB strikeouts are up by a third.

Remember that little league kid’ “I hit dingers”? He struck out a lot too.

To be fair since after the first series teams has been so afraid to throw fastballs our way. Which in my opinion says alot about how good this team is.
