Sure we aren’t last year’s team but one swallow doesn’t make a spring. A little patience please. We’ll get it done just you watch.

Don’t feel like I have melted this weekend, but a valid point for the melters would be that we needed a good start this weekend because the next three weekends are loaded against top 10 teams.

Probably just the manner in which it happened

-game 1 take a lead then get completely stifled for 6 innings by a true freshman
-game 2 jump out to a 9-1 lead then bats go silent again and nearly blow the game
-game 3 Hurd gets shelled, turns it around a bit and we come back to tie, then shelled again. Then coaches bullpen choices had some scratching their heads

A lot of it is how we lost.

There are a lot of low baseball IQ people that apply football season logic to baseball season and think that one loss ends your season.

It happens every year.

There will be a second wave during the SEC tournament that think if you dont mow through Hoover and win the entire thing, that you have no shot at even making a regional.


Im not glossing over how this team played this weekend by any means. It was bad and there is a lot of room for improvement. That being said, we went to arguably the toughest place in the SEC outside of The Box on the first weekend of SEC play, played just about as bad as we could, and still took a game.

I am confident that Jay will figure it out.

People do not know how to properly set expectations, despite knowing the OOC is not real. They get fooled by it every year

MSU isn’t supposed to be our toughest opponent

Pitching is supposed to be our strength and they scored 33 runs in 36 inning

While true, how many innings of complete baseball did they put together over the course of the weekend? They just did not look consistently fundamentally sound at almost any point except the first few innings yesterday a a handful of other flashes.

That’s not football mentality. Doesn’t mean the season is over, but that was not a good showing against one of the weaker teams you’re going to see in conference play. It’s completely fair to be concerned.

Not optimistic after getting drilled by a team of Morgan Wallen man buns .

While LSU looked pretty lost this weekend against a MS State team no one thinks is a real contender, the panic button certainly doesn’t need to be pressed.

In 2009, LSU lost 2 out of 3 to Illinois, yes Illinois in the series going into SEC play. Lost to ULL in the mid week game and then lost game 2 to Kentucky in the first SEC series.

Everyone on this board panicked. The team sucked and they might as well packed it in.

That same team towards the end of the season lost a mid week game to Nicholls then promptly lost 2 out of 3 to dreadful Tennessee in the 2nd to last SEC series.

Again, everyone on this board panicked and said that team sucked and was fading at the wrong time if the year.

Oh…, that team won LSU’s 6th National Championship.

Because we looked like shite in every phase of the game.

Especially pitching. Which was supposed to be our biggest strength.

Here come the Hordes of MA's with all their BS excuses and their "That's Baseball/Yall don't know anything about the game of Baseball" nonsense.

MSU in Starkpatch at Dudy-Noble too tough to play.

Consistent and predictable little "Freaks of Nature" they are.

You’re right. We should all be freaking out because we lost a road SEC series…..in March. You obviously know how the rest of the year is going to go. I’m sorry I ever doubted!

That better?

Because a large portion of the fan base is impatient trash who derive their sense of self and meaning from LSU teams.

Hey! I know where that comes from! This is what Aristotle actually said...not "We are what we repeatedly do..." that was William Durant's paraphrase
