A complete and utter embarrassment, but par for the course for LSU Baseball under Paul. Covid saved his job last year. If he can’t get results with this veteran-laden team, his arse better be grarse.

Tell us how it makes you feel inside. Discuss your feelings about the disaster that is LSU as a whole.

I couldn't care less that LSU lost a baseball series in March. We can revisit after about the third or fourth SEC series. I've said on here several times that making any final decisions (good or bad) about a team that is so inexperienced is silly.

Typically Mainieri teams play their best baseball towards the end of the season. Will that best be good enough to make it to Omaha? Time will tell. But, my stance before the season was that if he can't make it there this year then it's probably time to look in another direction.

Which currently top 10 athletic program would you like to start a discussion about? Better yet, which current #1 ranked sports program would you like to start a discussion about in regards to Arkansas?

Look at our pitching expectations vs results. The infield is fairly inexperienced, but that’s not where the issues are. LSU, on paper, has the deepest and most experienced bull pen in college baseball, and they got shelled by a 2 win team.

outside one bad start on Friday, pitching has been fine all year

fairly? Everyone in the infield right now is a freshman except for Bianco who is a sophomore playing a position he 1) shouldn't be playing and only is due to injury; and 2) hasn't played at the college level before this season

You might want to look at who pitched out of the bullpen over this weekend. Of the 11 relief pitchers who pitched over the weekend, only two weren't freshmen

Look at the starting lineup bud. The only non-freshmen are Beloso at DH, Dugas in LF, and Bianco at SS. In our starting rotation, Marceaux and Labas are experienced. (Neither of the two gave up a run or walked anyone this weekend. Marceaux has a 0.00 ERA this year) Hill had 2 career starts entering the season, in an injury shortened freshman season before having his second year cut short to COVID. Our only relief pitcher with a ton of experience is Fontenot, and no he hasn't looked great this year. Hilliard is way down the list of guys we rely on at this point. The vast majority of the guys playing this year are young as shite. So when you say we are a "veteran laden team," sorry you're going to get called out for that. If you want to say we had no business losing 2/3 to Oral Roberts, yes I will agree with that

It’s baseball, series don’t matter until SEC play. If we start dropping series during conference play then maybe we can finally fire Paul M. The ultimate underachiever.

Care to share this paper? Every team you’re going to face this season has a deep bullpen. Arkansas returned its two weekend starters from last year and they’re in the pen this year. Arkansas has 30 pitchers on roster and all teams across the nation are deeper than ever before because of the extended roster.

He can't because he's wrong. He saw we had two preseason AA pitchers and assumed we had a deep and experienced bullpen. Beck and Fontenot, and to a lesser extent Hilliard, are the only guys in the bullpen with experience. Beck has been hurt for a couple weeks and we don't know when he'll be back (elbow tightness, kill me). Fontenot has not been good. Hilliard is probably our 8th or 9th option out of the bullpen

He also apparently doesn't pay attention to any teams outside LSU. This conference is stacked, especially with a 5 round MLB draft last year and expanded rosters for this year

I wonder what's going on with Vetmeier. We have Aaron George as well.

he's not even worth mentioning. He's been terrible his entire career.

No idea. Not sure if he's hurt or not. I honestly forgot about him for whatever reason, probably because we haven't seen him in a bit
