re: Has Mainieri lost three straight series since he's been on campus?

You guys act like they lost the 97 team. They lost 8 of 9 position players on a team that won 1 game at the College World Series. None of those 8 guys won more than a game in Omaha in their careers. They were put out in 2 blowouts to TCU. I'll get a bunch of down votes, but has the bar really fallen that low at LSU?

Still think LSU has done well this year considering everything they lost

man, you are forgiving.

other than the vandy series LSU hasn't done anything out of the expected. they simply lose a different way a lot. we have lost series to bama, aggie, msu, ole miss and we're 5th in the west.

while I think they have hit well considering everything they lost, their shortcomings on defense and esp base running has been way below expectations imo. and certainly you are correct on the pitching.

also, this team has had more than it's share of "bad breaks". all close plays seem to go to the opponent and the errors happen at the wrong time. the gods of baseball have shat on our Tigers in a year we need them on our side.
