That’s why this team is 3-12 in the SEC.

I wouldn't even single out individual players, to be honest. It's the whole team, from coaches on down.

I'm not able to pull the actual numbers, but I get the impression that if the games ended after 3 innings, we'd still be top 5, and after 6 innings we'd still be in line to host a regional. I don't know about the games we got run-ruled (there are 3 of them), but in almost ALL the rest, we're in good shape. Usually up a run or so, and almost never down more than 1.

But then it all goes to hell. If we're up 1, we will lose by 2. Our bats die against the opponents' bullpens, while our bullpen is good to give up 2-4+ a game. Every coaching move Johnson makes- shifts in the field, pitching changes (or leaving a guy in), called bunts, pinch hitting etc- every move has been wrong.
I've never seen an LSU team so consistently fail in every aspect from the 6th inning on like this one does.
