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

About a 7. There is no reason we should be this bad. We are bad at every single facet of the game

Have to agree with the 7. Not sure we are 'bad' in every facet of the game, but we are certainly NOT as good as I thought we would be. Expected our hitting to be down from last year. Too many 1st time guys seeing SEC pitching. They should improve with more ABs.

The pitching, especially BP, has really surprised me. Holman & Jump are a very good 1-2. Hurd has been off, but we know he can be better. Ack, Herring & Guidry have been pretty reliable, but after them it has been wildly inconsistent. Some just inconsistent, but many seem incapable of stringing outs together in the SEC. Margin for error is small with pitch location. Encouraged by C. Johnson's 16P 3 up/3 down with a K effort last night. Also think Noot might help us in April. Plenty of arms, just gotta figure out who can help us win games.
Lot of BB left to play - GT!
