re: On a scale of 1-10, how surprised are you about the mediocrity of this LSU baseball team?

maybe a 6ish. We knew what Tommy White and Pearson were about, but besides those 2 there were a lot of questions to be answered offensively. We know that both Travinski and Jones could be weapons offensively but really didn't play an every day role in last years team and they are doing ok this year. The real test has always been the beginning of SEC play and right now there are a few guys that are just not playing worth a shite, namely Kling, Milam, and Neal. We had nothing but question marks on the weekend rotation going into the season. Holman has been a bright spot and Jump is doing a pretty good job, but I don't see Hurd as a weekend guy. I know there were a few bad breaks on Sunday but teams always seem to hit Hurd hard.

The talent level is there, but that's not equating to on field play thus fore in SEC play.
