Tiger Baseball Needs a W Today

Yeah win today and (somehow) go .500 through that stretch puts us at 10-11 and in position to make a run at 16-14 w/ a chance to host

Way too early for all this but USCe at home would be a must sweep. Then don't get swept at UGA and win the home series vs Florida.

That was my thoughts, figure out a way to get to 16-14.

It’ll be interesting to see who gets the ball.

Hope Jay sticks with Pearson, Dardar, Braun and Serna in the lineup today.

If 16-14 puts them in the top 6 in the SEC, they sure are hosting.

What time first pitch ?

My thoughts going into every baseball season is 15-15 is your baseline expectation. 5 home series, 5 away. 2-1 at home, 1-2 away in every series gets you there.

So far, assuming a win today (I know, but we have to start with an assumption), we are :

at Vanderbilt -1-2

vs Oklahoma - 1-2 (behind by one now)

vs Kentucky - 2-1 (assuming a win today)

That would put LSU at 4-5, where the baseline should be 5-4. We need to pick up 1 by either sweeping at home or going 2-1 away to break even. To go 16-14, we need another of those. These are the remaining teams with their current SEC records:

at Tennessee (3-5) Home 2-1 Away 1-4

at Ole Miss (3-5) Home 2-3 Away 1-2

vs Texas A&M (4-4) Home (1-2) Away 3-2 (so far 2-0 vs Mizzou)

at Mississippi State (6-2) Home 1-2 Away 5-0 (Swept @Vandy, 2-0 so far @ Ole Miss)

vs South Carolina (1-7) Home 1-2 Away 0-5

at Georgia (6-2) Home 4-1 (so far 2-0 vs USCe) Away 1-2

vs Florida (5-3) Home 3-0 (swept USCe) Away 2-3 (swept by Bama, 2-0 so far @ Arky)

Let's start by assuming we go baseline (2-1 home, 1-2 away) on each (10-11) and see where we can pick up two games. The first obvious place to start is a sweep of South Carolina at the box, which leaves one to pick up. I think we could easily win 2 at Ole Miss or Tenner.

So I'd say 16-14 is a realistic possibility with just slightly better play. If the hitting comes back around and pitching settles in just a little more, 17 or 18 may be possible. However, 12-18 is also a possibility right now. I lean toward 15 or 16 right now, but my default is a sunshine pumper.

If LSU cuts out the free passes, they will win a lot of games.

I know hitting hasn’t been great, but still, in the loses if you cut out the free passes, LSU Wins almost all of them.
