There is no "schtick." I'm sick of the "fire the coach" fan base, with their delusional views of our talent and ability to win.
They act as if no other team has talent or excellent coaching, and that LSU's talent is always premier in every facet (i.e. the football team last year, which had offensive talent deficits).

Isn't it the responsibility of the head coach to ensure the pipeline is always full? In the case of Miles, quarterbacks??
... every great team has down years. The trick is retaining the coach who can build the team back up.
Although I think Maineri is a much more resourceful coach than Miles ever was (and I'm still satisfied with PM as HC), efforts to squelch rational opinions in order to avoid unpleasant but necessary upheaval fall short. Got to break eggs to make omelets.

Ok but it is Mainieri's job to see when the closer is struggling bad at finding the strike zone to pull his arse immediately! He is notorious for leaving pitchers in 2-3 batters too long.
Had Gilbert retired the guy who hit the HR you wouldn't be saying shite about him being in too long. Do you ever talk about the good things that PM does?

quote:yes. winning games in omaha is better than losing games in omaha. good grief. is this a joke? those teams have WON more games in omaha than lsu. that unquestionably makes their results better. this is a joke right? they are objectively, factually better.
So you honestly think all of those teams you just listed have been better than LSU lately? You actually believe that? just because you make it to Omaha and ultimately win a game but still lose in Omaha is no better than what LSU has done

Then stop crying in every thread about every loss

It's an accomplishment only your dumbass can't appreciate because your unrealistic

quote:you know other schools are building, renovating, expanding too right? even if the top budgets are equal, that doesn't help mainieri because he's getting outdone.
The claim that "LSU's baseball budget is double everyone else's" is correct only because the five-year time period (2009-2013) analyzed includes the construction of and occupying of the new Alex Box Stadium in 2009.
quote:thus incriminating mainieri's results. no need for further discussion on the point
LSU baseball's operational expenses are, of course, more than the vast majority of other programs
quote:i didn't say double.
it's nowhere near "double" every other program

Good to be back from banland so I could downvote the OP. I feel better now.

lsu nearly doubles every other program in budget. it's not close.

you realize buying a new stadium is included in investing in the program right? and even if spending went down after it was completed, lsu would STILL be outspending everyone based on the average over several years. you're overthinking this quote:in the english language, that word makes a HUGE difference in a statement. not only was it factually correct, it shows that mainieri wouldn't even be in the top tier if lsu spend as much as other elite programs.
Are you quibbling over the "nearly" part of your statement?

Bye.

quote:in other words, lsu spent more but really didn't because what they spent on the program was just part of the program that increased the amount spent on the program. seriously, you're overthinking this

the stadium is PART OF THE INVESTMENT in the program. it shows how lsu is investing more in the program than other programs. i'm sorry you don't understand this. it's quite facile acutally

I believe last night's well coached game has made my point for me. Walking the batter intentionally in the ninth was the right move.
