He does that every year when things start looking grim. Great poster in the preseason though

And he is starting at 3rd base for LSU. PM recruited and signed him. Do you not see a problem here?
I don't think he should have ever been recruited outside maybe a walk-on spot for a late inning defensive replacement, but I also don't think it was ever PM's plan for him to start. Last year, he started out of necessity. This year, Dugas was hurt then struggled upon his return and Bianco couldn't hit or field consistently. So, again, we weren't left with many options outside Reid playing 3rd, who also was on the struggle bus big time the last month and a half. Not sure what that has to do with my post, whatever the case. Hughes not being good doesn't mean he has any issues with his work ethic or effort. Just like Mathis. Kid busted his arse and have max effort every time he was on the field but just wasn't good enough, and I don't hate on him for it because that's out of his control.

Here we go. CPM will force out one of the most talented guys on the team.
Willis' fire for the game has been questioned a time or two by posters, and been immediately shot down as nonsense. Now you hear it straight from the head coach, and people still don't believe it. I ripped into Mainieri's poor game management last week, and really going back a few years, but I'm inclined to believe him when he says a player lacks fire/motivation, and needs to get it in gear.
And IF Willis should happen to have a problem with that, and wants go leave, then it would be best for all parties if he did leave. You don't need bad attitudes bringing the team down. I'm going to believe that Willis isn't that kind of person, and that he will dedicate himself to being the best player he can be. Sometimes a kid just needs a little wake up call to get their mind off of whatever is distracting them.

I don't know what about his .212 BA and 24 strikeouts in 52 ABs appeals to you, but you should spend more time paying attention to the games.
The dude is coming back from a torn labrum, that isnt exactly the easiest recovery and can also affect AB's if there is any discomfort. I like what i saw from the kid especially since he was out of the game for a while with the injury. He will do good things for LSU

I dont know what CPM is thinking but outside of Dup and Smith i dont think any of them had fire/motivation, definitely no vocal leadership

I guess you just didn’t watch Beloso play all year?
Or Garza? Even when Garza was struggling he was always vocal behind the plate.

The parents, too. I advised patience and speaking with PM to find common ground. It's a rash decision, but they were very unhappy. Winning and time can change that.
He does that every year when things start looking grim.
My comment was made when people first started mentioning attrition and I said I'd wait to see how the post season faired since there was a big name or two still waiting to decide.

Other than looking like a legit sized first baseman, I didn't see a damn thing to get excited about with him whatsoever.
He’s a really good athlete with a great frame. And from the few ABs I saw, he has a great approach. He’s a future all conf caliber player

Beloso is the only one i think will be a leader in years to come.. But i think he could have been more vocal than what he was this year.
Garza gives his atta boys but that aint a player putting fire in his team. His lousy throw backs to the pitcher and laziness behind the plate isnt really helping anything or showing leadership...
When i say leadership/ motivator im talking about bregman type leadership... For crying out loud the only person to step up and have a pep talk with the team was fricken Moffitt. Your mid week pitcher had to step up and say something... There was no spark/fire with this team and if there was it wasnt even remotely close to past LSU teams passion.

And again, with his comments on Willis, CPM does the second best thing he does.....throw a player under the bus. Second only to blaming someone else for a loss.

You don’t think Fontenot or Cabrera as taking a leadership role?
Beck too

CPM *shuffles deck* tells players to work harder!
Just a few days ago we needed CPM to coach the players harder. They need to hit better. They need to run bases better. They need to pitch better. But, when he calls them out for not working hard at practice it is bad.

Yep, they cream their panties over Saban on here too. Yet, CPM calling out players for work ethic and they lose their minds. After watching last season can you testify that all the players are for sure working their asses off at practice?

That's what happens when you have one idiot starting a new thread for each statement from a press conference. But also horribly misinterpreting those statements in the worst way possible.

Fontenot should definitely.
Cabrera could have been a leader this year but didnt stand up when needed too to motivate anyone.
What makes you think Beck is going to be a vocal leader to a whole team... I dont give a shite if you are a senior or a freshman when your team is down somebody needs to stand up and light a fire under their team mates... If you think this team had that then i dont know what to tell you.... Fontenots pitching the other night was the most gutsy performance in a while but you didnt see any players trying to step up and get things going at the plate, no motivational talks or anything... The whole year this team just looked like they were on the field because they had to be not because they wanted to be outside of a few games.. Hardly no emotion expressed except for maybe a few games, you should have passion and emotion every damn game...

It may not be the exact words he used, but he certainly implied it.
