What does he do to make that push at the end of the season?
No idea.
Im assuming he plays the long con with the way he handles them mentally. Hes been coaching at a high level for a very long time so I guess hes learned over the years how to bring guys up so that they are playing their best come postseason.
Apparently that means a tradeoff with some early struggling and midweek losses where he can get guys some work in situations where other coaches may not, that way as the season wears on and guys get injured, you have those guys that were worked in the midweek, ready to play and they have the mental fortitude not to fold when the pressure is highest.

I mean... this is pretty emblematic of the game of baseball. You can have a horrible game against a given opponent and turn right around and blow out the same opponent. You see it at every level of the game. That’s kind of the beauty of the game. You wash your hands of a bad game and move on to the next one. Also goes to show how important quality starting pitching is. Plus this team is pretty inconsistent. I’m not sure what the disconnect is here.

What happened in that NC series?

We were “unhealthy” for both.
You guys act like we are playing 3rd stringers in these losses. Hugh’s sitting is a loss with his glove but is a huge plus for anyone stepping in his place and batting. Same goes for Mathis except neither his glove or bat are missed.Watson is the only one and he is feast or famine at the plate every other night. So who are these unhealthy players that keep being used as excuses for this team? Pitchers that have never pitched for us? An infielder who has never played an inning? Who are these great losses that are holding this teams success back???

I don't understand why people can't comprehend this. LSU has "the greatest fans in baseball," but a super large number of them that post here know absolutely nothing about the game. Stupidity frustrates the hell out of me.

We played FLA in the final series. We almost won game 2. If we did, we would have won the game 3, because FLA wouldn’t have any pitching left and we had Alex Lange. Game 2 didn’t go our way, though. :((

Well, I mean I don't know if you really have a "third string" in baseball with these roster limits. We are at the absolute bottom of the barrel though. We had a bullpen catcher as our only available position player off the bench last night.

Perhaps you haven't watched much baseball, but Bianco's bat is not a huge plus, over Hughes.
quote:

Despite what you fricking idiots believe Mathis hasn't been terrible behind the plate. With the exception of the Vandy series on that BS turf, he has received and blocked really well. Holding off base stealers has improved slightly also. Garza has been hurt, so it's not like he has been a real long term viable option. His bat has not been great either. Although I liked some of his at bats last night.

Is there not a team anywhere in the world, at any level, who would be hurting if they didn't have 4 starters out? Throw in the fact that not one pitcher who was in the weekend rotation to start the season threw this weekend. That is massive hurdles to overcome.
You are just proving yourself to be a flat out idiot. By your post, I doubt you have watched very much baseball anyway.

Damn I almost forgot the dumbest part of your post. Watson is hitting well over .300. He has been one of our most consistent hitters. Don't know where you come up with this BS from.

It’s not a get out of jail free card and I never insinuated it was. But since you asked - Hess, Watson and Reid have all been very important to this team this season.

We hit the shite out of the ball Friday,
What once we were down 10-0? Florida kept that scrub pitcher in because they had such a big lead. That guy has been rocked by every team that he has pitched against.
Henry has been a blessing and should be our Friday night guy. It’s frustrating to see our pitchers that were weekend starters regress so much this year, and Peterson who was so good for us last year. Peterson did great last night , but I’m referring to games prior to last nights.
That’s the biggest detriment to this teams success. Pitching was expected to be a strength and it has been a complete weakness outside of Henry.

Why do you post here? You never add anything of substance to any thread.

So 9 runs and 16 hits only count when you want to allow them to count? Do you even listen to this shite you are saying?
What was the excuse that our runs and hits didn't really count last night?

My bully stalker . Good morning sweetheart.
What did I say of no substance?
Has pitching been a strength?
Has our starting pitchers from last season regressed?
Should Henry not be the Friday night guy?
Has Florida’s starting pitcher not been rocked by every team that he has faced?
Which of those statements is untrue and of no substance.
You are loser Russian bully. I am stating facts not opinions. I’m not attacking anyone like you do every day. Try to have a great weekend and be kinder to people. Happy Easter !

So I guess that we were “healthy “ last night because we beat the crap out of Florida, but we were “unhealthy “ the day before when Florida stepped on our throat?
We score 9 runs the first game and 13 the second correct??
So the answer to your question is yes, well as far as pitching goes. If Hess was healthy an pitches Friday we win that game as well. If everyone was healthy Hilliard might be our 6th best option to start a game for us.

ETA: I just re-read your post and realized I overlooked this statement:
quote:You need to use a dictionary. All you've done is give opinions, like saying our pitching is not good. Tell me what team has suffered numerous missed starts from all three of its opening weekend Friday, Saturday and & Sunday starting pitchers (Hess, Marceaux and Hill) and that team is still in contention for its conference championship more than halfway through its conference schedule. Only because LSU started the season with outstanding pitching depth are we able to still be in the mix to win the SEC.
I am stating facts not opinions.
And you doubled down on your ignorance when you wrote "It’s frustrating to see our pitchers that were weekend starters regress so much this year." You're just willfully obtuse.

Sort of. On Thursday we did not have our regular starter and on Friday we did. Also last Sunday we had key players miss the game due to injury. The problem is the people that melt over ever loss don’t ever want to hear reasons and write off everything as an “excuse” and can’t seem o grasp that out of 9 hitters and a pitcher in any given game/series/season or week you can have key injuries sometimes it’s the same guys and sometimes it’s differ players
Posted on 4/20/19 at 9:43 am to supersaints9
Wait so you think we were healthy last night despite missing three starters in the lineup? 
it’s a completely true statement. If we get healthy, this team has potential through the roof.

Well Mathis is basically 3rd string & he has done a hell of a job taking a beating behind the plate

The "greatest fans in baseball" moniker is from 25 years ago. 'Most posters on the rant were still sucking on their mama's titty at that time.
The only thing this current group is "greatest" at, is melting
