I'm not going to freak out about this weekend in baseball...

...because sometimes you just play like crap.
All I'll say is that if this team can't win more than half their games in the SEC and host a regional, Mainieri will have had lots of time to demonstrate he can sustain LSU baseball at a level befitting its tradition and resources and yet failed to do so.
There are lots of very good baseball coaches out there who would crawl to Baton Rouge to take hold of this program. Paul has shown he's capable of winning here in the right circumstances, but he's got no excuses. Win or be replaced.
It's that simple.

Waiting for someone to point out he won with Smoke's players.

the lack of offense is cause to freak out because it is officially a trend now

Every team is different, and I know they should play better. No excuses with those games, but give the kids some time to get used to their new roles.

Funny. Given the tone of the rest of your post, it sure sounds like you are.

Series like these happen nearly every year. Maybe not always quite this bad. But we have bad losses even in good years.
But honestly, in the current format of the NCAA tournament coupled with the resources of LSU baseball and sheer name recognition, lsu should almost NEVER miss the tournament.
Back to back years tournament absence would be inexcusable IMO.
With the history and recognition we have, you should always have a team that is at least good enough to QUALIFY for the tournament.
Sure there will be downyears, where we don't get out of a regional and don't host one. But we should always make it.
That being said, I'm hoping that manieri can right this ship.

That about sums it up. No Hoover and no Regional this year gets PM the hook.

Getting beat by 10 in a rubber game against a team like App State is not a good sign of things to come. Not to be chicken little but if we can't totally dismiss this level of competition with Arky, Vandy, SC and Florida on the schedule ... we're in trouble.
