I agree with rhe posters that say the sec tourney is pointless, insignificant, whatever. The problem is that the last three sec series were not pointless. And we couldn't win with Skenes.

We literally won every game Skenes pitched.

Lsu peaked over a month and a half ago. They are limping to finish the season. All these sec tourney games don’t matter post are poster coping with the teams last month of play.
Nah, it's a totality of a season and not just knee-jerk reactions. Probably outside your wheelhouse.

One can argue that this isn't the clutch bc it's the sec tourney and we're still a top 5 seed

You wouldn't be this negative in front of a crowd of real people

I mean….have you seen the pitching most of the year? He knew he was going to have to score runs to win games.

quote:

don’t blame all the pitching on JJ. He has some injuries.


I’m not a huge fan of how he handles the pen but the talent on the roster is not on him. Just about every effective pitcher lsu has was a jay recruit or transfer.

quote:

But, his team does not hit in the clutch.


I mean…they average scoring 9 runs a game in sec play. Hard to fault the bats for anything this year.

This team isn’t close to Bertman’s & Maineiri’s teams.


When Bertman coached there were like 10 teams that took baseball seriously. Impossible to compare the eras. CPM did great things here but let’s not act like all of his teams were good. He threw up a few stinkers himself.

For better or worse I think Jay said “let’s go home”.

There’s no way they couldn’t have gotten in the guy from 3rd had they wanted.

Okay, great stuff as always.

This makes it even more poignant. Too funny.

Man y’all are in way too deep. It’s just a game. Sure it can be frustrating at times, but cheer like hell next weekend at the Box and let’s see what we can do. I’ve never seen such sky is falling from a national seed in my life.

How can you be so negative when LSU was only one game under .500 in this SEC Tourney AND both losses were very close games?

Ok clown. Saying lsu is struggling isn’t knee jerk. LSU is .500 since the au series. I wouldn’t call that great ball to leading into the regionals.

LSU fans have a tendency to think everything will be all right


Actually seems like LSU fans have a tendency to be way too critical to the point of not realizing they are still a top team. Ask any non bias college baseball fan about LSU.

These extreme takes go both ways with LSU fans.

quote:

JJ sacrifices everything for hitting.


Did he sacrifice his top 3-4 BP arms this season to hitting? Is that why they got hurt?

What if I told you LSU's fielding percentage this year is on par with Florida's?

The man was 1 cancelled SC game away from winning the SEC outright. What is wrong with some of you? This place is too miserable at times.

Can we at least see how he does when it matters most before judging the season? The runners left on base today won't matter a week or two from now. And LSU may not "do that." You will have your best hitters out there including White.

What do you mean this team isn't close to Maineiri's teams? Again, one win from winning the SEC, the toughest baseball conference. Only SEC team to not lose a road series. That's pretty impressive, but whatever. So what if LSU lost a couple of tournament games due to bizarre circumstances. We had Arkansas beat if not for that catcher's interference call. Lost by 1 run both games when we weren't even putting our very best out there to win. Yes, we were trying to win, but we were also protecting players, because Omaha is the ultimate goal. You would have seen starting pitchers left in longer and you would have seen White in there if the season was on the line this weekend. LSU would have gone all out to win these games. They accomplished what they needed to do and that's most important moving forward.

Why are we not giving the pitching more credit for the job they did in this tournament? I believe the bats will be fine. I believe we'd have scored more if White was out there today.

Lol what? They ranked higher than several of Maneiri and Bertman’s teams in a much harder conference than either of those guys faced. You’re delusional.

Really ? Clutch ? Because they didn’t come up with a clutch hit in the last 2 games they haven’t been clutch all year last I checked they only lost 2 series this year you want to talk about clutch? Because you didn’t see it in the last 2 games ? You’re a fricking idiot ! You weren’t saying this shite until the auburn series which was late in the year ! Get the frick out of here saying this team doesn’t not come up in the clutch ! fricking idiot!

Its always best to judge a team on one game and not the season

You can judge them on the last month of the season where they have struggled to put together complete games against inferior opponents. Because frankly I don’t think their games earlier in the season against Butler will have any effect on how they play in the postseason.

We seem to pound out the hits in non clutch situations but in clutch situations our bats go silent far too often.


We were like 3/20 with runners in scoring position for the sec tournament. Just terrible.
