Explain why much of this roster was the same as last year and looked excellent compared to now? Hmm. Maybe it's the obvious -- coaching. Can not being here is killing this team and it's so obvious. Gibbs is not fit to be a coach for LSU, sorry. Anyone who thinks a hitting coach is useless doesn't know anything about baseball. They can teach you many things and the areas LSU seems to be struggling this year on Can seemed to put heavy emphasis on fixing. He was a great coach. I hope he keeps having success so he can be our next HC. Don't care the price. Bring him back.

The people who blame Mainieri for everything are idiots. The people who blame the players for everything are also idiots. It's somewhere in the middle, and there is more than enough blame to go around.

There is only one player that actually has become better than when he started - that's Pap. Look at his OBP. Do you know why?
Probably because he gave a big frick YOU middle finger to Gibbs and pulmonary.

The rest of the garbage you're spewing is that - garbage.
Swinging and popping up giving opposing pitchers 4-5 innings of free pass is not clutch hitting. That is just simply smart hitting.
If you watch the Bergman with the Astros, you will see what I mean. He gets 2 strikes he is a different hitter. He gives up on that exit velocity bull shite that is spewing to hitters these days.
Gibbs is listening to crap that doesn't matter for most of these guys at this stage.
Deichman is useless lately. Why? He is free swinging and not liking to make contact by chocking up and fouling off a lot of pitches.

The hitting woes are squarely on Paul Mainieri.

I thought CPM was about to have a Stroke when Robertson's bunt barely got past the dirt and the lead runner was thrown out at 3rd base. His face got so red and he had veins popping out on his forehead.
Wonder what kind of toll this season is having on his health.
before the bunt what did the announcer, Burke I think, said? Don't waste an out. Look how far he is back in the box. Why wasn't he called back by the coach that was about to strike? BC he doesn't know hitting.

Why even hire a head coach then?

I agree, I do think manieri plays the percentages too much and doesn't let the kids swing the bats as freely as he should and that's why I think they struggle in big situations. Bertman let his guys swing the bats more freely and it seemed to not give them a conscience in big situations, therefore being "clutch".

Shitty luck for Mainieri to be randomly assigned this group of unclutch players. If only there were some way he could have some influence over which players he has, then it would be totally different.

Damn lucky getting randomly dealt players who are so good. Maybe we'll get the luck of the draw someday.
