re: Yes, there is way too much emphasis on being National Seed (stats inside!)

The only credible argument I can see is that the last couple of years LSU has made this late surge from being not considered a national seed and rallying late to get one. If we don't get it, could the team still take the underdog approach to a super regional.

Stupidity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. a lot goes into your record but considering our home record against OOC opponents I am not confident in this team either way.

This team can take that approach all they want, won't matter... they are garbage on the road.

Are you saying that because we played 2 very good teams on the road in UF and UK, that we should exclude those two teams from the discussion since they are so good? Because we wouldn't be facing a good team on the road in a Super?

I've upgraded you from being shot in the foot to being shot in the face.

No, not at all. Just saying that the road record isn't all that terrible considering the two series lost were to Top 10 RPI teams.

The truth is that will will be playing a better team on the road in the supers then at home if we are not national seeds. If we are matched up with a #2 seed in a regional, we will still be playing at home.

So...we should hope to go on the road, and hope to win. Rather than hoping to stay at home. Since we have done much better at home than on the road? Aren't you calling yourself stupid by saying this?

If you don't understand the difference in Lange, Poche and Walker on the mound, versus the guys we normally threw out in some of our midweek loses, then I don't know what the hell to tell you.

So just come out and say, "I don't think this team is good enough to get out of the regional", or super, whatever it may be. Don't come here with the stupidity of saying we need to go on the road because it gives us a better chance at success.

Haha. Yeah, but I thought we had all followed Moscona's lead in saying that midweek games didn't matter?
Besides, you were talking about series losses/records.
Also, your math doesn't add up.

If we do not host a Super and end up on the road playing in a Super Regional, then the chances are pretty high that we will be playing a team that is at, or at least very near, the top 10 in RPI also....So why would anybody think going on the road is what we should aim for?

With LSU recent hosting, might not be bad for them to get out of town for a regional.

By my quick count, LSU is 16-3 at home out of conference this season, if you include Louisiana College.
So terrible!

Many posters including the ones in this thread have given Mainieri crap for going all out to win the SEC Tourney. I think that's what he could mean about being burnt out by Regionals/Supers.
