What the hell is going on with our Baseball program????

Yea i figure but this is crazy.

I can accept basketball being up and down, but not baseball. Something isn't right for sure. I don't know if it's leadership, coaching, or what, but it isn't talent. We have all the talent in the world and can't produce wins.

LSU is the Boston Redsox of college baseball. But I can't remember when LSU had as a team worse hitting.

the team just isn't very good this year.

this. do they play defense well? no

do they hit well? no

do they pitch well? at times

They were not good at the beginning of the season. they were depending on teams making 3-4 errors and beating themselves. they started facing stronger competition and the teams aren't making 3-4 errors beating themselves.

building a national champion doesnt even buy you two years anymore?

fantastic

MJ2, I wouldn't say that a year like this should never happen. I think that's a little too extreme; however, I do agree that it shouldn't happen to LSU this often.

Any program is going to have ups and downs. LSU though when it comes to baseball(since the 90s) has been a strong force. There should be very few years where they do not make it to the CWS.

I'm not saying they should win the title every year but not making it to the CWS, much less a Super, is getting a little old.

No they don't. Look at the players on this team likely to be drafted in the top 10 rounds of the mlb draft this year as compared to two and three years ago. This team is raw and young and the upper classman are just not that talented outside of Mahtook and Nola.

Edit: Moreover...threads like this confirm that LSU has the most delusional fanbase in the country. I doubt there is another team in the nation that is two years removed from a national title and calls for the coaches head (in two sports - I admit to wanting Miles gone which looks like a mistake now). Hell, Bianco at Ole Miss has never even made it to Omaha and he is worshipped in Oxford. Augie Garrido at Texas has had many up and down years and is worshipped in Austin.

We will not get a better coach than Paul Mainieri...if there is one out there better, please name him and why he would come here...particularly with this delusional fanbase in place.

I think we're more talented than we're playing but by comparison, maybe not as talented as past teams, yet. We have a glut of young potential... we should be patient.

I posted a question a few weeks back, the day after Watkins dropped his last fly ball. I asked if his problem was isolated or if it indicated a broader lack of focus.

We're struggling with the space between the ears as much as we are the space between the lines.
