Omaha? Try winning a few SEC series. No one realizes it but Laval actually brought us to the CWS twice in this time. Only missed the regionals once and we fired him. We talk about Miles and JJ, but never PM and his hard ons. How about the fact he insults small ball and then gets his arse kicked by every team that can play it. You fools think huge bats will win you are crazy. This guy has no chance of winning with small bats. You have to actually know how to coach. I find it odd that USC and UF can consistently go to CWS and we are chumps. I mean do you realize Vanderbilt has to take care of their own field. We have Alex Box and a !+ million dollar coach and cannot make the tournament. PM makes Miles look like a genius. You all say Miles needs to change, well guess what the days of LSU gorilla ball are over. PM needs to realize it or move on. Our small ball failed not because small ball fails, but because we have players that cannot bunt and coaches that cannot coach. That is the problem. So until then I will sit in my green seats and watch us lose over and over. Even the midweek games. It is pathetic. The only positive is maybe someone will let go of season tickets and I can grab them.

Nobody mentioned Tyler Ross. I've been told he had a great fall hitting the ball. I also heard he was throwing runners out at 2nd. With the improved youthful pitching and a young catcher that has a season under his belt, the future seems bright.

---

Ross lost a bunch of weight in the offseason. He did seem to hit the ball a little better in the fall. As far as Fields, he didn't really light it up during the fall so I think the LF spot is still open.

right. Northwestern, not northwestern state.

Rittiner is not on the roster. What happened to him?

His arm wasn't what it was pre TJ surgery...

Damn that's saying something too since he could only throw like 65.

That's from August. Rittiner isnt on the team.
