Can’t argue with that. Last year’s defense was elite.

You mean to tell me LSU isn't going to have the best defense in school history 2 years in a row??

Shocking.

Probably. But sometimes that’s going to happen the year after a national championship season

We had a great defensive infield last year. They set records. We were going to decline some, but I’m afraid it’s a lot.

I think we were hoping to be better defensively than this USL squad

You mean to tell me Jay couldn’t find one starter, just one, that is equal to or better than last year?

I think they have more errors already this year than all of last.

I'm afraid some of the transfers aren't quite as good as advertised. It's hit and miss with the portal sometimes.

Our 3rd basemen is light years better than Michael Braswell at the plate. He is not a poor defender.

Yorke has done nothing to indicate he's a poor defender. He made a boneheaded play.

Daniel Dickinson was the best middle infielder in the portal last year. No, Jay could not find someone who was going to hit .300 with double digit HR and play perfect defense. Those guys don't grow on trees.

Go ahead and let me know who we should have gotten instead. I'm all ears.

They had 44 errors throughout the entire season last year. This team is going to eclipse that not even halfway through the regular season at this rate.

Reading is an acquired skill you have yet to master.

You do know you need guys to play offense and defense, right? He went out and got one of, if not the best, 3rd basemen in the portal. A guy who has been perfectly fine defensively thus far.

So you’re telling me that this year’s shortstop is worse than last year’s shortstop?

I'm pretty sure he said New starters

Milam would be considered an Old starter

Ugh I can't believe Jay went out and got that trash can Trent Carraway out of Oregon State in the portal. His 1 error this season fully offsets his 15 RBI.
