re: LSU Baseball Game 3 Runs Allowed

Obviously we don't have the pitching depth to seriously compete with top tier SEC teams in Game 3s. But what's worse to me is how little we hit in Game 3s. We scored 5 runs against the worst team in the SEC in Game 3 AT THE BOX in late April? We're 1-6 in Game 3s period?

I think that speaks to not just a lack of talent, but a lack of something else. Competitiveness? Heart? I'm not sure what the right word is and don't want to call anybody a quitter or anything, but this particular group of players just doesn't seem to have the right chemistry to overcome adversity. I'm not saying any individual player does this consciously, but they seem to roll over and lay down more easily if they get down early. Especially compared to the battling some of the great teams of the past have done.

Oh well, too late in the season to change our identity that much. We are who we are. And for whatever reason, this mix of players just hasn't produced like a great team. The sum is less than the total of its parts. And though I'm sure people will do it, I'm not even sure there's anybody to blame, necessarily. shite happens.
