Better coached, more fundamentally sound, make pitchers work the strike zone, don't go up hacking at first pitch when the last batter walked on 4 straight pitches, run the bases like they are college players not in Little League, don't run themselves out of innings, coach doesn't think every player is a base stealer, don't go up to the plate with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out and then the next two batters each swing at first pitches out of the strike zone and pop up, inning over. Sorry can't think of anything else but I can get back to you. Their players weren't better except for maybe the Jordan brothers were inept but their coaching was in a different league than CPM. He was absolutely awful and has reached his ceiling. Time for this program to go in a different direction coaching wise.

Oh wait. Just thought of something. They don't run on contact with runners on 1st and 3rd and get thrown out by a mile at home plate (again) because the ball wasn't even close to making it to the outfield.

But we hosted a Regional and Super Regional. We didn't expect them to go as far as we did. Our fans are the best in the Nation. The Box was jam packed. We lost 8 of 9 positions from last years team. We can't expect to win a Championship every year. And who can forget, We are not the only SEC to not make it to the CWS.

Did I miss a justification for the continuation of our ongoing mediocrity? Given that is is well established that Joe Alleva makes a comfortable living selling the LSU Administration on mediocrity, CPM is not going anywhere.

I doubt the coaches told the players to make sure they swing at the first pitch no matter what is thrown Oh yea also be sure you pop it up to one of the infielders so they can get a couple easy outs here K......as most reasonable people know the coaches can tell the players to make sure they are patient and get a good pitch to hit but thats easier said than done, if you played the game you should realize this more than most. The guys obviously didnt want to pop up or strike out but good pitchers throw good pitches that appear to be hittable until they arent.

"He has reached his ceiling". As in CPM & LSU won the SEC league championship last yr & was within 2 games of winning it again this season. Winning 18 league games when that number would normally result in another league championship. After losing 7 starters. The Jordans were "inept" for a few wks at the end of a long grinding season.They were studs on the field & in the dugout all season long. It's called baseball shite after a 60+ game season.
