My honest take on the LSU baseball team so far

First off, this might be a fairly long post, so if you don’t want to read then that’s fine. But, I’ve seen too many people on here talking about how this team is not talented enough, which is just the furthest thing from the truth.

Secondly, we returned 1 daily starter (Tommy) from last year. Travinski only had like 100 ABs last year, Pearson/Jones were in and out of the lineup last year a lot until Pearson locked down a spot later in the year. Bingham and Braswell are experienced transfers, but they’re also new to the team, which is the downside of bringing in transfers each yet. Kling has been frustrating and he needs to sit. I still think Frey and Larson give you the best potential for the most explosive lineup, they just need more time to get adjusted. They have like 50 career ABs combined.

We are 1 bad pitch in a 1-2 count against Kendall Diggs from Guidry (90mph cock shot) that ended up being a 3 run bomb on the road against a #1 team, an error from Braswell which ended up costing us game 2 last night, and a dropped 3rd strike from “our best defensive catcher” from taking the series against Florida.
This is also not taking into account with how bad we’ve been with RISP in SEC play so far. I think that turns around, just based on the law of averages or large numbers.

I’m not here to sunshine pump, or say you shouldn’t be stressed or upset about the season, but baseball is a game of inches and sometimes it breaks your fricking heart when one small mistake can cost you a series, but let’s not act like baseball is like any other sport. Remember, that 2008 team won 23 straight to make it to Omaha, which no one thought they could do at that time.

I’m riding or dying with this team, and I’m the furthest thing from giving up hope yet.
