re: Baseball: LSU 2 vs Tulane 3 - Final (11) - 98.1 FM

I'm about to go all schizophrenic, so just bear with me...

I hate the way this team is playing right now. Pitching is good, very good, but not much else. Defense, baserunning, hitting have all been below standard. Something has to be done; changes have to be made; attitudes have to change. If not, we'll finish in the middle of the SEC and won't host.

Now, all that being said, I posted before the season that this would happen. That the team would start to struggle at the beginning of SEC play once things got tough and there was actual pressure to win important games. In fact, I said it was a good/necessary thing for a team that lost so many leaders to face some adversity. Because here is where the true leaders of the team step forward. The pitching staff has found theirs. Now the position players need a guy or two. They don't need to be vocal or even full-time starters. Just be able to lead by example at practice and coming up big in games.

This is how this team can still win 45-50 games, 18-20 games in SEC, and be the best team they've been all year at the end of the season when it matters.
