How can a pitching staff totally implode like this?

I wasn't expecting the staff to be as great as it was last year, but we still had several guys coming back that had been effective in the past.

Even up until a few weeks ago for the most part the staff was at least competitive if not effective. Part of it has to do with a weak OOC schedule, but they looked much better against good teams like Arkansas and that was even without AR. What could possibly have happened to get to where we are now? It is like a switch was flippepd and now nobody can get outs.

agreed with weak schedule in PM era. Guy really is a pussy for not playing big name teams out of conference at least every OTHER year. at least Laval, Bertman, Lamabe, and even Smith played OOC big name teams. Classic case of LSU greed and hoping 99 home game swill carry you to super regional every year!
Hell he doesn't even play BIG names like Virgina, UNC, Arizona, Texas, CSF in Pontiff classic anymore.

I question Grewes ability to correct mechanics during games. Most of it rests with the kids not being able to locate consistently or having the stuff to get the key strikeout when needed.

The "stuff" can't be changed in season , but it would be nice to see a kid throwing everything up get a visit from the pitching coach and correct the problem that inning...or at least the next.

I have seen that mentioned before, about our weak scheduling, but I don't look at that as a real problem. Everyone knew going into this season that with Coleman gone, someone was going to really have to 'step up' as a 2nd starter, and that simply hasn't happended. To make matters worse, AR got hurt, & now seems to have an issue- not sure if it is a mental block or a mechanics issue...Add it up, & the picture looks bleak for a post-season run...
