Is the ball team dominant this year? Please note that I am not trying to flame, for I have not seen or been able to follow any games this season. I have only seen final scores. Of course, I know that this time of year the playing field is leveled by teams trying to settle in and brush the regular season dust off. I was just wondering what this team was going to be able to accomplish with the pitching. Is AR the only legit pitcher we have (starter that is)? OR has a new guy come in and shown promise..? Don't worry about the bats, they will come.

No. This is not the 1997 team.

This ball club would be similar to the 2001 team, lost ALOT of great players, however have many great players return. The pitching is going to be more patched up this year meaning roles will not be "set" early on.

This team is still a top the WEST in my opinion and the bats are going to heat up big time with the warm weather.

Ross and Bourgeois are both legit starters, but they are going to have their ups and downs. Ott and Ranaudo I would call dominant.

He's currently nursing an elbow injury, but it's not too bad. Bourgeois and Ross have both started twice and have looked pretty good. They are not AR though.

Once the weather warms up, LSU baseball starts to morph into this juggernaut no one can stop. Pitchers get a better feel of the ball and its easier to pitch in weather you've pitched in your whole life rather than cold, windy conditions we've seen early this year.
Ball will start to carry also.

The potential is there though it's far too early to tell. If AR returns to last year's form(and his current unjury is called minor so let's hope)there are plenty of signs that the rest of the pitching staff will wind up being above average and the bullpen may be the best ever with Ott, PB, and the surprising freshman Reed. Offensively, this club will get better and better and has two true All-Americans in Dean and Gibbs. Like I said, it's early but the potential to dominate is there.

I dont know if we'll have enough pitching this year to do what we did last year. A-Ro and Bourgeois will really have to step it up. They've looked pretty good so far but consider the teams they've faced
