re: I understand why some of you want CPM fired, I really do.

Is their biggest issue fundamentals and technique or attitude? They don't look like they are having fun. CPMs motivation strategy is to beat you down. It seems like in the past AC and Javi filled the good guy role, but they are missing that positive leader this year.

EXACTLY!!! Poncho is either CPM's Pomnasky, or a family member

ps. someone needs to teach Romero how to hit a fricking breaking ball. If Romero hits breaking balls, this team would be much deadlier
And who is going to do that when we don't have a hitting coach but a yes man CPM hired because he doesn't believe he needs a hitting coach.

Damn, you're becoming a shitty troll.

Because going out and finding an elite hitting coach 3 months before the season was an option? Who were they going to get?
Not this horse shite excuse again.
1. He interviewed zero candidates for the job.
2. He stated publicly he didn't need a hitting coach and felt A.C. was going to leave and this was the plan he established all along. Which is why Gibbs was given the job 2 weeks later.

Not trolling. CPM can't make Poche throw better pitches. You guys weren't complaining last week when we beat Ole Miss but now you guys start complaining again....

Just keep on moving the goal posts for him.

He leveraged LSU for Texas
He didn't replace Cannizaro
Players talked him in to staying
Should have let him walk
And promoted Cannizaro

I just don't think firing a head coach is always the answer especially when the problems we are having stem from non-clutch hitting and bad pitching.
We had non-clutch hitting and bad pitching when Smoke Laval was the coach, too. Maybe we shouldn't have fired him.

My biggest problem with PM is that he hasn't done everything he can to put us in a position to be successful... i.e. Assistant coaches

Then what, exactly, are we paying him to do? If he cannot have any impact on how the players play, what is his job?

I agree with you there.

When your Senior pitcher, who has also started every year since his freshman year?, starts throwing meatballs, what the frick are you suppose to do? Dunn went out there multiple times to calm him down and help him out but he still threw the meatballs. I wish people would just understand that players win the games and they also lose them.

I've never seen a team this inept at the plate. They watch hanging breaking balls but swing at fastballs 2 inches off the plate. It's maddening to watch.
Who the frick does this fall on exactly? He made a terrible decision to not bring in a single assistant with any experience whatsoever. His staff is pathetic for any major D1 program let alone a program like LSU in his 10th fricking year. Then he does stupid shite like talking shite about people that were saying things about the program in one of his interviews a few weeks ago. LSU's program should never have only 4 CWS appearances in 10 years. He's Miles all over again.

Oh, you mean where is he going to get a hitting coach that will come in as an unsalaried (camp pay) assistant 3 months before the season?
The lazy frickup PM made wasn't hiring Gibbs. It was promoting Cain to the other salaried coaching position. He left himself no choice.

Why did Mainieri let our true freshman pitcher give up 7 fricking runs in 3 innings yesterday? He had a fully rested bullpen. He should've pulled Walker in the 1st after giving up 4 and gone to Beck immediately. Or then maybe when it gets to 5 or 6 runs 2 innings later you pull him immediately. But no, he lets the shite get out of control like he always does and before you know it it's 7-0.

This staff is beyond pathetic at a school like LSU:
Dunn - Legit, experienced coach
Nolan Cain - no experience
Micah Gibbs - no experience
Nate Fury - no experience
Seah Ochinko - no experience
Take a look at other top programs and look at their assistants. Not a single one looks like this.

Here's what I heard:
Offensive approach for the entire lineup is terrible. Somebody needs to teach them to have a better approach.
Pitching is regressing and not very good right now. Somebody needs to get them in line.
Romero needs to hit breaking balls. Somebody should teach him.
Not the coaches' fault it's the players'.
Quick question, just who do you suggest be the somebody to fix all of that??
One more, who would you suggest is in charge of player progression?
Sorry last one. I know it's the players who are just terrible and all but who brought these guys in again?
When everything is broken, there's only one place to look- the top.
Now with that said, I don't think everything is broken. A lot of things are not up to standard at this point but not broken. We have got to develop an offensive identity and an approach that goes with it. With injuries and regression of some key players, I'm worried that this team will have a hard time clicking. Just not enough in the tank.
