Does LSU get swept again? Mainieri just going through a little rough patch. LSU, if they were smart, would lock him into a long term contract.

Get swept by Vandy then win 2 of 3 but oh wait Ole Miss and Arkansas waiting for us.

He better start putting some coke in his cereal.

I read that UF is changing up their starting pitching rotation. Im not familiar with their pitchers but from what i gather sounds like they are starting their bullpen guys and trying to get a few innings then swapping to their normal starters.

Why are there so many Thursday games now? Almost half of our SEC series have a Thursday night game.

We need to sweep Kentucky badly to make up for last weekend. No worse than 2/3.

I’m kinda worried about this series I think UK is better than most think. They’ve been quietly winning a lot but not sure if they’ve face any strong competition

So what's going on with LSU? Is it hitting, pitching, or both? You guys always have talent so I won't be surprised to see you turn it around at any point this season. However, I hope it's against Ole Miss and not Arkansas.

W6: South Carolina,


I mentioned this on our board but this team has been very streak to put it mildly. This season:

11 straight wins
6 straight losses
6 straight wins

Not quite yet. We haven't losses 4 in a row all season and currently on the 1 game win line. Just let us enjoy it before it turns to losing 3.

It won't help, but at least Sully is trying something. These guys are just not mentally tough in my opinion. We have too many talented guys and not enough scrappy guys. Guys that will battle every pitch and every at bat. Very similar to what we trotted out in basketball.

The season is young and I hope I am wrong, but we melted during SEC play in 2019 as well with Mace and Leftwich as our 1-2 starters.

Also I have no idea what Fabian's problem is, but his draft stock is sinking like a rock. Also Jacob Young and Kirby McMullen are in mini-slumps. Young is just 7 for his last 29 at bats with 7 strikeouts and Kirby is 7 for his last 26 at bats with 10 strikeouts. That is the last 7 games for them beginning with the FSU game.

As much as Sully has owned FSU it seems like they put some stank on us that we can't wash off a couple of weeks ago.

That whole A&M sweep was smoke and mirrors. A&M kind of laid down for us as soon as we would get a lead, not understanding that this is a melty team. Kind of like this post.
