Our expectations were tempered this season.

Nailed it.

Anyone who pays attention to LSU baseball knew before the season started that this was going to be a challenging year, even before all the injuries to key position players and pitchers starting lining up.

Any SEC team can't lose all 3 of its weekend starters, its most productive closer, its center infield, including its catcher, and its only true power hitter and not expect for there to be a drop off.

Mainieri is outstanding at pushing the right buttons as the season goes on but this year, with the injuries, he just ran out of buttons to push.

With a little luck with this year's draft and if all of the injured players return to full strength, we will have a very good season next year.
