Let be honest here. It hurts, but we just aren't good enough to compete with some of these SEC teams.

6 runs in 3 games just won’t get it done.

Who is this we? I've long accepted this this team is garbage. I didn't expect this team to go to Omaha, but there is no legitimate excuse for this team to be this bad. JJ isn't on the hot seat or anything, but ye needs to be feeling some pressure.

LSU baseball is no longer a big deal.

Just a mediocre team. Bats were way overhyped coming into the year

JJ needs some time. Guy hasn’t even begun fielding his first full recruiting class where he has been hands on with the recruits

Tennessee and Arky no. They’re in a league of their own right now. But everyone else in the conference I think we can compete with or beat. Outside those two nobody else has really shown to be dominant in conference play.

It's been said before, but when your identity is a hitting team and you don't score runs, then you're not a hitting team.

Our starting catcher and LF aren't playing, and Morgan is in a brace just to be in the lineup. And, we're still in the thick of it despite compiling that with horrific defense, untimely hitting, and a pitching staff that has maybe 1 starter. I'm as unhappy as anyone but to think we're not on the doorstep is just way too naive. At Arky, a tough place to play, we were in every game. Our lineup and staff are littered with underclassmen very capable of doing it right now, but they're struggling to do it consistently like upperclassmen would.

7-8 halfway through SEC schedule.

4-11 at same time last year.

Better record with worse starting pitching & defense.

Let’s see what the next 15 bring.

That's hyperbole. We lost by one run in game one and outhit them in game three. Hell, in game two we only gave up four runs.

We swept State and beat a Florida team that's obviously fairly good.

We are a little below average SEC team. But we are a dangerous team that can beat anyone if we put it together on defense on a given day.

After the State series I was arguing on here that we would probably go 500 the rest of the way. Most others were imagining scenarios in which we swept Mizzou and took two from Arkansas.

We just don't have the pitching to compete in the SEC this year. Gonna have to give JJ some time to build his roster.

We are not allowed to tell the truth about LSU being bad at sports on this page.



I'll bet that LSU academics is GREAT, to make up for it, however.

I think this team has talent, but the mixture is all off. It’s like a football team having all the talent at WR but none at offensive line. We don’t have enough balance in the lineup. We have a lack of defense and speed across the board. We have power hitters but not enough contact hitters who don’t strike out. Our entire lineup strikes out WAY atop much. I know analytics say that’s not a big deal, but when you have guys like Thompson, Stevenson, Pearson, DiGiaccomo etc that are not power hitters but still strike out at a high rate, it really puts a damper on scoring.
