This flop makes little sense.

I don't know how anyone didn't see this coming. Maybe not this bad, but I was highly concerned about the offense for this season. Lost way too many bats and vets. The pitching has been surprisingly bad, but I was also concerned with yet another pitching coach. I regret Wes Johnson left. However, the pitching has actually picked up. We can't score. I think some of the true Fresh and Soph are developing. Maybe not as quickly as others would like.

I really don't see next year as scary at all like the OP suggest. You also are going to get one of your really elite arms back. I don't believe it will get any worse and there will be reasons for optimism. Jay is relentless. He hates losing very much. He will do all he can to correct it.

It's weird to me the amount of catastrophic thinking going on around here. I'd understand it if it wasn't just one down season, but I'll wait to see how next season goes before going there.

The football references are ridiculous. Y'all really don't think LSU will bounce back in baseball under a coach who has consistently won and yes he has developed elite players. I can't believe someone suggested he doesn't develop players. Come the hell on people. How quickly people forget. It's an inexperienced team against a ridiculously front loaded schedule. Perfect storm for a down season. Sucks, but absolutely no reason to give up hope for next season.

LSU really needed to hit on an elite proven veteran bat to pair with White and just missed out. I think there's a massive difference in this season if they had gotten one of the tops bats in the portal. LSU will have more experience next season and I believe they hit on bringing in a proven bat or two.
