[quote]It’s not just game 3’s. LSU ranks 13 out of 14 in total runs scored in SEC play. They just aren’t a great offensive team.[/quote] That’s the most frustrating thing about this team. They are just not getting timely hitting. How much is randomness that comes from a small sample size and how ...
[quote]All you idiots when they sweep and still get left out 13 will not be enough [/quote] And you’re basing that, on what? Something that happened in 2011? Stats that go all the way back to 1999? I’m not saying LSU would definitely get in with a sweep, but every SEC team since 2017 with at lea...
[quote]Can you find a good reason as to why he still insists on changing the lineup although it’s been working just because it’s Sunday?[/quote] Travinski was 0 for his last 17 in conference and Milazzo hasn’t caught all 3 games this year. If his players can’t produce with minor changes to their ...
They’ve done this all year on Sundays. It had nothing to do with the lineup....

re: Freaking bunt him

[quote]Everyone knows that you when you get the lead off guy on, you bunt him over and put him in SCORING POSITION. [/quote] Not on the road when the other team has a chance to answer. You play to take the lead....
[quote]I don't guess our coach even thought about bunting our no hitting catcher to move the runner into scoring position, to possibly tie the game .[/quote] You play to take the lead on the road. ...
[quote]Agree with this. But now that Larson is raking again, I'd like to see him back at the top of the lineup followed by Tanks and Bear.[/quote] Yes, I agree that optimizes the lineup. Johnson may just feel that Larson produces better when he doesn’t have the pressure of leading off....
[quote]I don't comprehend this strategy of putting your two best power hitters 1/2 and having your worst hitters batting in front of them. How can that be the best run producing formula?[/quote] Beyond the first inning you really can’t control very much about the situation when batters comes to...

re: So tomorrow is a must win

[quote]Considering what ole miss has done to aTm the last two days, let's just say tomorrow is a must win[/quote] You mean the same thing LSU did in the first two games against A&M last week?...
[quote]in what universe does a coach have Milam and Larson hitting in front of Kling and Milazzo, and not in front of White/Bear?[/quote] Overall, Milam has not hit well enough or gotten on base enough in conference play to warrant putting him at the top of the batting order. Larson was at the to...

[quote]Right now, they won't even have the talent this team has.[/quote] What if they went out and got Tommy White and Paul Skenes in the transfer portal? Obviously they won’t get someone as good as Skenes, but it’s pointless to speculate on next year’s roster in the portal era....

[quote]I wish you guys could go to the elite softball tournaments. 100 teams and zero from Louisiana. We produce some local talent but we have to convince out of state players to come here. Our softball program overachieves, they just aren’t national champion quality. Fire Beth and we could become N...

[quote]The finished tied for 6th with 2 other schools. That is still middle of the pack no matter how you slice it.[/quote] Except you said “bottom half” and “less than middle of the pack”. Yes, they were middle of the pack behind 5 teams in the top 11, tied with a top 15 team and a Top 20 team,...
[quote]They aren’t making OKC. Have you been watching the hitting especially situation hitting? TP would need to go on a huge run and frankly they just don’t have the depth.[/quote] This team has been running on momentum both positive and negative all year. They started out 25-0 coming up with...

[quote]I’m not sure what is so complicated to understand LSU finished in the bottom half of the SEC this season.[/quote] They finished tied for 6th out of 13 teams. That’s not bottom half....
[quote]well lucky you aren't on the committee.[/quote] Yes, this year I am glad the committee overemphasizes a flawed tool like the RPI that favors LSU. It doesn’t mean I can’t recognize that LSU’s RPI ranking is higher than they deserve. ...
[quote]I would think SECT CG would lock in top 8 seed with the already #3 RPI.[/quote] The committee has definitely shown they give great weight to the RPI in recent seasons, but I honestly don’t see how they could give LSU a Top 8 seed with their 12-12 conference record. I think you are right th...
[quote]It'll be tough without Berzon. The bats needs to be better today. [/quote] Lynch did shut Tennessee out a couple of weeks ago. I agree Berzon gives them a better chance, but Lynch has given them some good outings lately....

[quote]I would think with the salary our coach receives and the amount of money that has been spent on facilities for the program in comparison to other SEC programs, you should be able to finish above .500 in the league.[/quote] Torina is 5th in the conference in salary, which is right about whe...

[quote]Beth took over a top conference program that consistently finished in the top 2-3 in league play, she has not finished in the top 5 in over five years[/quote] They finished tied for 4th in 2022 and tied for 5th in 2021. I’m not saying that should be the goal, but if you are going to make a...
