Eastern Kentucky used a very unorthodox style of pitching,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “Many of their pitches weren’t even 70 mph tonight. With the wind blowing in and as cold as it was, it was just very difficult to muster any offense.


First let me clear, this is not a “Fire CPM” thread. But I would hope after such a lousy showing he’d take more responsibility than that—not necessarily for himself, although that would also be refreshing and new, but the team. Will Wade at least gets up there and says, “we’re not good at ___ and that’s why we lose.” And there’s an actual sense of urgency.

Paul’s comment instead reads like a giant shrug.

Oh well...Hopefully we can dominate today and everyone can feel just a little better. Hopefully.

Maybe scout the other team and practice hitting 70mph pitching or is that asking too much?

So per CPM if you bring in high school pitchers that only top out at 65-70mph then you're poised to beat LSU.

Smh, the fact that he would call that unorthodox.

Unorthodox? Translation: I didn't have my team ready to face the pitcher they put on the mound Friday night. See Paul, its easy.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the response either, Josh. I'm not a fan of sending the message to your team that it's ok to lose to a team just because the pitcher throws slow. It feeds into lack of importance to go out there and play your best in the future in the same types of situations IMO.

It was 45. Our players needs to grow some balls if they’re ever gonna play in October.

There’s no evidence to think we win this series.

He should for sure get the entire year but comments like this shite are gonna heat his seat up.

Too slow is such a bitch excuse. Sit on your back leg and tee off.

Between this and the whole “Joe Brady of Baseball” he’s really putting his foot in his mouth Mx

Good freaking lord I hope we take the series it’s Eastern freakin Kentucky and we are LSU!!! WTF is going on here??? If Paul can’t get enough out of this program to beat EK then move the hell on and get someone younger who relates to today’s athletes and can light a fire under someone’s arse!
