The season isn't over. The question before the season was would this team even lose double digit games-- not whether it was the best team in the country-- that was a given. We have the 2 best players in the country. We have a roster more talented than 6 MLB farm systems. We're losing our top 2 pitchers and 5-7 hitters. It's been 14 years since a national championship. We didn't win the SEC. We didn't win the SEC tournament. I can't envision a scenario in which not winning the national championship will be considered a successful season. I think the players would say the same thing. I'm not being negative about the 48-15 record thus far. I'm just saying, this team's season will transpire over what happens in the next 2 weeks-- not what's happened to this point. Going to Omaha was considered a given before the season started.

All of this is why LSU fans melt every time they lose a game. It's completely ridiculous.

Making Omaha is a successful year no matter what.

Going to Omaha and winning a title should always be a goal but should never be a given. It's been proven every single year that the best teams don't win and don't always make it. They made it. It's absolutely considered a successful season if you leave it all out there. Winning a title is hard. In no way is it considered a failure if they don't bring it back. Fans who think like this are sad. Take a second and consider having some perspective on the season. We aren't the only talented baseball team playing this coming weekend. To say it's championship or failure is pretty sad.

Going to Omaha was a given before injuries. You wouldn’t agree losing shores and Taylor alone cost the team a few extra wins? We’d have surely already won 50+ with both of them.

“I’m not being negative” your post screams crying

Most reasonable people temper expectations when problems arise.

If you actually read the article, you would know this is redundant since the value of the roster based on the metric used to quantify it came almost entirely from Skenes and Crews.
