The first sentence is a distortion of the sentiment expressed here, but the rest that you say in an implied mocking tone is a reasonable interpretation of reality.

Our bad base running will likely cost us at some point in the post season. Let’s not forget that one of the 3 hits yesterday in 20 at bats with runners in scoring position was a DOUBLE that didn’t score a runner from second base.

Our bad defensive positioning will lead to extended innings and more base runners for the opponents. Skenes induced a routine ground ball to the second baseman, but it tuned into an rbi single because apparently we expect a left handed batter to pull a 99 mph fastball that runs off the outside of the plate because Dugas was holding hands with Morgan at first base. (Serious, 3 straight fastballs on the outside black to the lefty hitter and we have Dugas playing 20 feet to the pull side of normal positioning). We had Jobert playing the shortstop position with our new favorite shift positioning.

Those things aren’t going to change in the next two weeks.

You’re right that the areas that are weaknesses for this team aren’t going to magically disappear, but those concerns were there when the team was playing well. Anyone who guarantees LSU will succeed and anyone who guarantees they will fail is equally a fool. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be considered a favorite to make it to Omaha, but it also doesn’t mean there are no reasons for concern.

Shift should be outlawed in college. Analytics is ruining baseball. Play straight up. Analytics is causing overthinking. Too much to think about.
