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.
