re: Will LSU Baseball Have a Winning Record This Year?

I can see mid-upper 40s, with a possible regional host.

I believe we are too young on offense, unless we get some more JUCO guys in the lineup consistently. I believe our experienced JUCO guys can hold push us along offensively until the freshmen and less-experienced sophomores can get it together. Loved Bryce's swing last night even off the end of the bat he had some arse on it, and Romero's goes without saying, guy has clutch written on his forehead after last night.

We need these position players to get their bats in gear. Cinci is not a pitching powerhouse this year even their friday guy. Guaranteed it was just one night, and has no reflection on the year or even this afternoon. But we will be facing some SERIOUS SEC pitchers, and we need offense desperately to make any run this year. Which is why I just don't see it happening much past regionals, if that.

All in all, I think Bryce and Romero will need to be playing some more even though Bryce didn't get a hit, his power is well known and was expressed with an end of the bat slam to left.
