Rabalais “CWS less summer leaves many questions about LSU, most are bad
Posted on 6/11/19 at 7:04 am

The Advocate’s Rabalais
1.Is LSU baseball on the decline? The numbers 79-53 over two seasons paint a disturbing picture.
2.What about the pitching injuries? One is an anomaly, two is a coincidence, and three is a trend.
3.Is Paul Mainieri in the hot seat? Not at all, but if LSU doesn’t make it in 2020, the pressure will be intense in 2021.
4. So how good will LSU be in 2020? If healthy, and that is a giant if, the pitching staff should be tremendous but LSU still has big holes to fill, not necessarily crippling ones.
Apologize for not posting the link earlier, I was preoccupied, here it is below, probably one of Rabalais' best. He compares LSU baseball to Alabama football and Kentucky basketball.

Got a link dude?

Yea count me in on the “he’s gotten complacent and needs to retire” crowd.
The complete lack of thought, consideration, and mental energy that he put into this past weekend makes me sick.
I appreciate what he’s done in stabilizing the program after Laval, but it’s time for Paul to step down. Unfortunately, he won’t do so until after next season.
At least there is hope on the horizon.

2021? You have to be kidding. That suggests he can suck again in 2020 and still get 2021. At that point one would have to conclude that LSU no longer cares about baseball. Just like it doesn't care about women's basketball and until recently didn't care about men's basketball either.

Rabalais with some real journalism? 
Thought he was the one who worshipped Schmo Alleva.

I'd be satisfied if PM could at least stop surrounding himself with yes-men former players and bring in actual expert up-and-comers.

The decline is real and it is sincere
Posted on 6/11/19 at 7:53 am to TrueTigerTale
Surprised he found time between gargling Alleva and F King's balls while bashing Wade to write this. Even if I agree with some of his points, he can frick off.

Not really.
And we had one pitcher that was available opening weekend that wasn't available in the super regional.

Idiots defending a coach going 79-53 at LSU is a joke. How stupid can you be? LSU did not deserve to host. FSU upsetting Georgia had everything to do with LSU hosting. 2 years in a row of underachieving. Dude needs to retire and we get a coach who gives a damn

Not a Paul hater, but also not blind and recognize the recent record and it being reflective of a downward trend in the program. It’s a results business and his recent results aren’t up to the programs historical levels.

This is off, he's absolutely on the hot seat going into 2020. Fans, and especially a new AD will not accept missing the CWS 4 out of the last 5 years if that were to happen. Even Smoke made the CWS twice in 5 seasons here. He would not have a job in 2021 here if that were to happen, period.

Gonna throw some stats out here and tell me if this sounds like a dominant program... LSU is now 5-4 under Mainieri at home in Super Regionals. AT HOME. They’ve never won a road regional under him. The last two years LSU is playing
.650 ball overall. They are 32-28 in conference. They are 13-9 against in State opponents, 11-29 in road games. The team ERA is 4.77 and the team BA is .278. Am I missing something? This isn’t a great program under him. It’s just not. The stats bear it out. And there’s no Alex Box mystique. No home field advantage. If you are barely above .500 in three game series to go to Omaha in your park, you ain’t dominating or intimidating anyone. Paul Mainieri is exceptionally mediocre. Is that what the program with more resources than any other in college baseball should be happy with? Being... eh, okay...?
