What's the rants thoughts on LSU baseball after 3 weekends?

While I think he does this, but I think another explanation is that he puts too much value on what they do in practice. Some guys can perform when the pressure is on and they take it up a level. Some guys are practice all stars but can't do it when the lights come on...Allen Iverson, anyone?

You know the answer before you even asked the question:

Typical pulmonary coached, or non coached, team.

Thoughts? We're fricked come SEC play. Not sure what has to be done for Mainieri to bench Bianco.

The worst part is honestly we couldnt afford mistakes on a cupcake OOC schedule we've had and we've made some major mistakes. Our RPI isn't even anywhere close to the Top 100 now. After losing to Oral Roberts yesterday, losing the series, our RPI dropped from #72 to #121 now. I mean, that's really really really bad.

Our RPI was never going to be very good coming out this OOC schedule into SEC play simply because we really dont play much of anyone, but losing 3 games already, especially 2x against Oral Roberts has put us on a mighty hill climb up from here. Our RPI will go up regardless of how we do in SEC play, playing so many good teams there, but we still arent helping ourselves by losing these games against so honestly mediocre to bad teams either. This team needs a 5-0 week so bad this week, Baylor and even UTSA are much better teams than we've been playing so a weekend sweep can go a long way there.

You can tell the potential with this team, but kind of like the 2020 football team, they havent put it all together yet. It took that 2020 football team almost the whole season to put themselves together, and I hope the baseball team doesnt take as long. But you just wonder WTF was going on for that Friday game to happen the way it did against Oral Roberts then to come back on Sunday after stomping them on Saturday to throw up 1 measly run on their Sunday pitching. This team is just highly highly inconsistent at the plate and I still am trying to figure out how Hill went from being one of the top pitchers in the country to literally not being able to get outs from the very start against a frankly bad lineup.

Then of course you have the frustrating features like Mainieri thinking Bianco is somehow an every day starter and our best SS? I literally just dont get it.

Ready for the PM reign to end so I can enjoy LSU baseball again

I don't know what's happening with Fontenot this season, or Hill this weekend, but most of the pitching looks pretty good. Friday was a team-wide abortion.

Hitting is YOUNG. Young is going to lead to inconsistency.

The hitting yesterday was terrible. It was good Friday and Saturday. It's been mostly good all year. But with this much youth, there will be times we score 10 runs one night and 1 run the next.

This team has the talent to make it to Omaha. How fast the hitters grow up will tell us if that is this year or next year.

Jekyll and Hyde; just like the basketball team. Just when you think they are finally hitting their stride, they lay an egg in frustrating style. It is still too early to make a judgment on them though.
