After 11 years program going backwards. They can make errors every game they don’t have anyone better to put in. This is on the staff.

Ok…can’t defend her anymore. Beth is not getting it done. Terrible calls against them tonight but you cannot continually walk the lead off batter. She is supposed to be a pitching guru and every pitcher on the staff has gotten worse this year.

It is crystal clear that we need a change, if we ever want to see a winning high caliber team…

You're know there's an issue when Torina has to resort to putting in Morgan Smith to try to tie a softball game.

Not much to look forward to the rest of this year. But with only 1 senior in the lineup we can only hope the experience They get this year will make them better next year. And lets hope those signees coming in are as good as advertised. If Beth weathers the storm of course.

Because Calland and Cummins are not SEC caliber catchers and that is who we trot out each game.

But there is more than enough blame to go around

Hire the Kentucky coach

For Torina the standard at LSU is above losing in the supers but want a coach that has been to 1 WCWS ever and hasn't advanced past the supers the last 6 seasons and the best of those 6 teams didn't advance to the regional final as the host team.

No, but errors have cost us games this year. Coffey and Pleasants, but especially Coffey, have struggled there.

It’s quite noticeable how your softball smugness has disappeared since the team has gone 3-7 in its last 10 games.

Not defending Lawson or saying she would be a first choice but Kentucky doesn't exactly have a big softball history, they work in subpar facilities and have never won a SEC title I don't believe. It has always been a bottom tier or middle of the pack SEC program.

Lawson is a good coach who has gotten the most out of that program given the limited resources it has. She has been brought up across a lot of different coaching searches over the years.

The Tigers have now lost more games than any other team in the SEC not named South Carolina.

What position did Coffey play in HS because her bio says she won defensive awards?

I played her team at Angleton... she played 3B

So, she's been there long enough to establish that. Myers did it at Auburn, Mike Smith at Ole Miss, Diefel at Arkansas.

She's a very good coach.

Yup our pitcher recruiting hasn’t been good and I think it causes bad batting because their pressing. they know the pitchers Arnt gunna hold the other team.

Transgender awareness.

But I’m fairly certain that the girls on the softball team love them some other girls. No need to switch genders.

Honestly, it is actually a shame what a lame job the LSU coaching staff has done developing Morgan Smith. She along with several others came in with an overabundance of talent that just needed actual coaching and clearly she did not get it. Hopefully she and the others not getting any opportunities to find their footing find greener pastures elsewhere because clearly they are not gonna get it while losing at LSU.

one of the main reasons they have no one to go to is because they NEVER given anyone else experience. The starters dont have to improve because they know that no matter what they will not be taken out. They can make error after error and have a sub-200 batting average and it wont matter. There seems to be no spirit of having to earn a spot around there. And, it is very difficult to come in and not make an error if you get a random opportunity once in a blue moon. They will never win anything with this mentality.
