I’ve accepted this year. I thought maybe we could scratch out a game at Tenn then get hot on the back half. It won’t happen, this team lacks the dudes to do it.

I’m honestly okay with it, Jay brought us a title in year two and continues to recruit at a high clip.

My concern is our roster next year and the development of younger talent. If there is any knock on Jay it’s the lack of development with younger talent.

Millazo, Travinski, Bingham, and White are all gone. You have to hope guys like Neal, Jones, and Kling can turn the corner. That’s the scary part for me right now. I don’t see Neal and Kling flipping a switch.

Hope this freshman class can lead and the portal gods bring talent or next years roster my be worse.

Until it isn’t an unmitigated mess of disorganization at all levels he’ll have to bring in historically great rosters like last season. That’s going to be a tough ask for anyone.

How did this happen? Setting up to be the worst LSU baseball season since pre-Skip back when we were like most of the rest of the country still is and don't GAF about college baseball.

Worst post Skip season in SEC play was Maneiri's first 12-17.

Have to go back to LaMabe in 81 at 7-14 to find worse....Jim Smith in 78 was 6-18,

This can't happen here.

We should really channel that Marucci slush fund to getting as much of this #1 class to campus and crush the portal. I would be shocked if there isn’t a mass exodus

Worse team in over 40 years? How’s that for a reigning national champ?
Add in the Southern beat down.
People need to quit making excuses. Johnson looks completely lost right now.

Give the young guys some time and just accept this year as an opportunity to gain valuable experience. Nearly everyone we have played this year has tons of SEC experience.

There was a time when fans wanted Kramer Robertson run out of town, only to turn into one of our better players. Hope for growth from these guys and then a couple big signings from the portal.

All I know is that Tony Vitello has been knocking on the door of a national title and he is getting closer and closer. We lost most of our pitching staff, half the starting lineup and still producing. I think it’s time for other teams to realize that Vitello may actually be pretty good at building and sustaining rosters.

He seems pretty good at choking in the super regionals with the best team he will probably ever have. Congrats I guess.

I don’t think y’all have the pitching this year. But if a a few guys get hot, I could see it.

Personally, and this is coming from someone who follows Tennessee as much as LSU, I don’t want y’all to win it until Kirby Connell is gone. His dad is such a bitch I want that kid to fail every time he steps on the rubber.

Honestly if our pitching is able to keep them in check then they probably have no shot if they ever have to play Arkansas or A&M. Especially if they don’t have that dumb arse field to bail them out. Their top 3 in the lineup is impressive but after that it’s a lot of stat padding on a softball field.

Portal is hit or miss. I’d rather build through recruiting.

Can you please frick off? You're a Mickey mouse program. You haven't won shite.

"Knocking on the door" means nothing. If it did Dave Van Horn would be the GOAT. Win something and you can talk shite. Until then, kindly frick off.
