Does it really matter? The team has proven quite clearly that they wouldn’t last long in any postseason. They wouldn’t make it out of the easiest regional even if they could use a mulligan.
You don’t follow college baseball much do you? Nothing a team did or didn’t do during the regular season has any bearing on whether you can compete in the postseason. All that matters is what happens on game day, not what happened a month before.

People are just disappointed and speaking emotionally about it. If you are in the bubble there is an argument for and against. That’s what the bubble is. That’s why there is a committee and not just one person. It’s difficult to say a team does or does not deserve to be in. Especially before the teams have been picked because it is a comparative statement. We don’t have a clear picture. If you compare us to the other speculated bubble teams I think it is apparent we are better. Though I try to be objective, I am also biased.

This is a bad take man. 8th and 9th seeds in the SEC have been much better than Too half teams in most other conferences. Our 10 seed finishes top 5 in the big 10

I want these young guys to get at least a taste of regional play. Making the tourney may not do anything to salvage 2021 but it could do a ton to help out 2022 and 2023.
Another very good point made

Lsu doesn't DESERVE to be in a regional
Posted on 5/27/21 at 6:06 pm to lsutiger2
LSU is NOT going to win the whole damn thing. I think we can all (or most) agree with that. But 62 other teams will not win it either. Does that mean those teams don’t deserve to be in it?
Let’s be honest, LSU may not get out of a regional. But they MIGHT. They could get 3 outstanding pitching performances & the bats can get hot. Boom, you’re in a Super. Maybe against a 2 or 3 seed that did the same thing. Maybe get a few breaks & win a trip to Omaha. Not going to win there & will probably go 0-2. But these types of things happen in college baseball (see Stoney Brook).

You didn't explain why LSU deserves to be in a regional.

Well it depends on what you’re trying to say by “DESERVE”. You have to be deserving enough to be one of 64 teams. It’s not as prestigious as some of you are trying to act.

LSU has not proven to me that they can compete with the best teams from everywhere because they couldn’t be competitive with the average teams in their own conference.
What about the clinic we put on both times vs the #14 team in the country? It shows how “average” the “average” SEC teams are... it’s hard enough to beat the #14 team once; but to do it twice in one season. And both times, very convincingly.
This young team very much feeds off of each other; that has been shown multiple times this year and even more recently when we see the hot starts in the 1st only to then go stone cold for 6/7 innings... if this team can get some momentum and get hot then I have no doubt we could possibly make it all the way to Omaha. Especially if we don’t face any sec teams on the way. But even if we do run into a SEC team; if we are hot; and have momentum then I wouldn’t count them out automatically. The single elimination is what killed lsu in the tournament. It’s very very hard to get a young team hyped up; simultaneously without making them to nervous; for a one single game. Especially a young team void of upperclass leadership. Also once a young team faces adversity (it’s first loss in a big tournament) and they get that “fear” out of their head; then they can start to play more loose with less fear of losing since they have already felt that and gotten that feeling out of the way... I know, I know that “we’re such a young team” is an over used excuse this year and it does not justify our season; but there Is some truth to it.

I’m not actively rooting for them to be out. But if you asked me if LSU DESERVES to be in, the answer is no. If the roles were reversed with LSU/Ark....would you say Ark DESERVES to be in?...no you wouldn’t.

A team (any team) deserves to be in if their resume is better than other bubble teams. If you don’t want to do the research to compare other teams then don’t comment on whether or not LSU belongs in. We aren’t talking about deserving a top 8 national seed or regional host site. There’s a difference in that and whether a team deserves to make a regional at all.

Its usually not the best team that wins the championship but the hottest. You can get hot at any time. In 2008 Fresno State won the whole damn thing and they were one of the last teams to get in.
So it usually happens, but your example takes us back 13 years?
You’re wrong, it’s usually a team that is one of the best in the country. Any team that wins has to be ‘hot’. If you run through a regional/super/CWS, that means you can at WORST go 11-4 or some shite against top notch competition.

That effort against Georgia for a “must win game” was pathetic. Teams that are playing their best baseball don’t suck like that.

Michigan made the CWS finals in 2019 as a 3 seed in the Corvallis regional. Auburn also made the CWS that same year and had a losing SEC record. FSU was also a 3 seed in their regional in 2019, and we all know how they got to Omaha. So we actually only have to go back to the last CWS.
