Dude, they definitely shouldn't take 2/3 or blow us the frick out of our own ballpark.

This is the same shite our fanbase does when a QB lights us up. "Oh, he's really awesome adn will be one of the best QBs we face all year."


If you don't understand the difference between baseball and football, there is no point in arguing with you anymore.

No, but we did just give up 20 runs in 2 games to teams like that.


Grambling isn't exactly a bottom feeder in the SWAC, and McNeese is in a different conference all together.

quote:

Normally, I'd agree. But it's the same problems. No hitting, no bullpen, terrible 3rd base coaching, and terrible hitting approach.


Yeah, this may be your best point. That could be a problem, but still...lots of baseball left to correct this.

quote:

I don't think so because this is the same team minus MM.


So, since you're using somewhat of a math analogy, I'll stay with that and be an arse:

same team minus Mahtook equals a totally different team.

I wonder how many of the people here can even stand to watch sports and enjoy them, as no LSU team can live up to the perfection you desire.

Of course I do, but the talent level is so much greater in College baseball than MLB. With the facilities and money in this program Appy st should NEVER take 2/3 from LSU. IF you believe differently, then you grossly overestimate the parity in college baseball between the SEC and lower tier conferences.

Nah, really? So giving up 20 runs is justified I guess. Cool.

I don't desire perfection, but I don't think winning a series against Appy st and expecting a program with LSU's history and money to host a regional almost every year (maybe miss 2/10 years) isn't too much to ask.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he was talking about our hitting being in the middle of the SEC.

If that's the case, I retract my statement on it.

Do you know of any LSU baseball fans that were happy with the last 2 seasons?

Is it wrong to want them to be the powerhouse most of us are accustomed too?

Moustache, that game Sunday was just that one bad game. The fact is this team still has games to play, although if they listen to your logic they aren't very good and should just cash the season in!

All I said is I think if we can just be average at the plate in SEC play that we can win a lot of games, because of our starting pitching.

Texas has won a lot of baseball games that way!

That's just the way we are going to have to win this year. Great starting pitching and grind out games at the plate!

The game Saturday was a bad game hitting wise. Where's the fight in this team to come out Sunday to put a fricking boot up their arse?

Sorry, I thought you said we ought to aim to be middle of the pack in teh SEC "record wise". My bad.

That just sounds stupid, and if you don't understand why then...

Then you really don't understand baseball. Alabama got swept at home by a Sun Belt team, I guess they all kill themselves.

quote:

Just pointing out how you were wrong, once again. Never said it was entirely justified. That game last night was that one (last) shitty inning away from looking a lot better, and probably keeping you a bit quieter today.

Seems as though you do desire it. LSU was potentially once pitch away from possibly winning that series last week. Crazy how baseball works sometimes. If history is all that mattered, USC should be hosting every year too.

alabama has a very bad baseball team and plays in a shite stadium. their history is 3 decades old. dont compare them to us.

Of course they shoudln't cash it in, as these starters can win us some games.

I'm more concerned about the coaching direction. This better be the year for us to make noise because we lose our starting pitching advantage next year. He won't make the correction at hitting coach/recruiting coord. that's needed. Since Javy took over we have not brought in any hitting talent worth mentioning and have not had a sound approach at the plate.

No, where did I say that? My argument with him is that it's way too early in THIS season to boldly say the team won't amount to anything.

As for the second part, it just may be too much to ask. The sport is getting more popular around the country, and it's a different beast. Talent is spread out more than it used to be. Should they have been better the last two seasons, in all of our minds?....Absolutely! But to expect them to win five titles in a decade may just be a tad too much.

How many decades has LSU been good? Or are we talking about "history" in the amount of time fielding a team?

He was comparing SEC to lesser conferences, so that's why I did that. I was not meaning Alabama is historically better than LSU.

Meant to say difference in talent level between LSU adn Appy st. is greater than the difference in talent level between say the Reds and Brewers.

quote:

And Alabama will be battling for last in the west too. Doesn't really validate LSU losing 2/3 to appy st.

quote:

LSU was potentially once pitch away from possibly winning that series last week.


To just chalk this up to "that's how baseball is" is not smart. Appy st.'s 2nd adn 3rd starter dominated our lineup twice in a row. That should be very fricking alarming. I'm not saying they CANT turn it around, but I'm saying based on the talent and shitty coaching, they PROBABLY won't.

quote:

If history is all that mattered, USC should be hosting every year too.


Please study up on College baseball more. Private schools are having a little bit of a tougher time these days. Plus USC didn't shell out near the money SEC teams do, thus they had Chad Krueter as their coach and they absolutely crumbled. If anything it strengthens my argument of how a bad coach could tear the whole fricking thing to the ground. All I'm saying, is that if Paul misses the NCAA this year, he should be gone.

alabama is probably the 11th or 12th team in the conference this year. they will fight vandy for the cellar. them losing to florida atlantic is no suprise. its a completely different situation than us losing to app st. its a bad analogy.

Making the sweeping statement about conferences leaves one open to such rebuttals.
