QB

I was thinking that grand slam might have been, sort of like the HR come from behind victory over Arky last year.
But LSU gave up a 3 run hr, so I lost hope again, and then the bat flip happened.
I hope you are right. Our bats have come alive today, and hopefully fo the remainder of the season.
We just need to hold on to the close win.

it is his worst coached team

I watched a very competitive game until about 9 minute mark on the 2nd half. The game was tied I think and for the next 2-3 minutes, Duke received every call that was made and built about a 10-12 pt lead. I couldn't help but notice a change in the officiating, especially by the ref you mentioned. Every shot Duke put up whether made or not got a foul call. I couldn't see some of them. Every drive by LSU received some serious contact, and not once in that time period was Duke called for foul.
I turned the game off at that point, expecting a 15 pt loss if the officiating remained that way to the end.
I was surprised to see replays later than LSU was actually leading with 2.7 seconds to play. I thought the same on non walking call, but those refs weren't sophisticated enough to call that, as they couldn't count to 3 on the Duke bigs, especially the blonde girl, camping out in the lane for 5-6 seconds at a time....and yes I counted the seconds.
All in all, Duke was just too big in the paint for LSU to handle. LSU has to change that if LSU has sights on an future titles. Every team left is very big. LSU has to shoot fantastice to overcome that size issue, and our best shooters had an off game. It happens.

the first inning was nothing but that. Last night LSU hit line shots right at SS and 3B, and Milam ripped a shot one ball wide of the foul line leading off, and Curiel hit a shot the CF dove an caught. We have watched KY so far hit too hard grounders in gaps in first two innings. This has been going on for several games in a row. This crap has to turn for LSU. It is getting to the point of ridiculous. I know it is just baseball, and it will turn. I am ready for the turn!

Quite frankly we have maybe no more than maybe 5 players that should even be playing in the SEC. This team is as untalented as any I have seen in quite a while.

Does anyone have any accurate insights into why he feels like LSU return is personal?
I'm glad it is happening but I never thought it would happen after the way he was treated on his exit.

and Glen West article says that Landry, and others were 'adversaries' of WW. Maybe he just doesn't understand what that word means. :banghead:

these numbers are obviously not good. However, we that follow baseball at all levels understand that sometimes streaks happen that are good, where whatever we hit bloopers that fall in gaps, and there are times when we hit rockets and they are right a fielder or the fielder makes incredible defensive plays....and at the key moment in the game.
The latter seems to be where LSU is at the moment. For instance, in last night's game, in the 8th inning, LSU was down 3-2. The leadoff hitter walked. Then the next hitter ripped a very hard ground shot very close to the 3rd base bag. The Okie 3rd baseman made a great backhand snag and commenced a double play. That is an example of things going poorly. In good time, that ball could have skirted past the glove into the corner and LSU would have had runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, down 3-2. Very good chance LSU would have scored to tie or go ahead.
Lots of other very hard hit balls in recent games that were right at the fielders, and the other team's flares were base hits.
Another example is LSU is leading Vandy by 2 and is one pitch away from winning the series. But, the Vandy hitter didn't just hit a long fly ball for the final out, he hit it out of the park.
That kind of stuff is when a team is going bad.
I expect LSU to have a turnaround, much like last year, and things. start going really good for LSU.
We can only hope that is in the latter part of the season when the stretch run to Omaha begins.
We all know baseball has its twist and turns, and we just have to suffer through this stretch, and hope for better as the season progresses.

I wouldn't be disappointed if LSU hired the High Point coach. For his team to beat a good BigTen team in the NCAA first round, he might be able to bring some of that winning talent to LSU. High Point guys....that has to be some awfully good coaching.

I still wish someone would explain the thinking of not bringing in a LH pitcher (garcia maybe) to face the LH hitter with two out who hit the walk off hr. The previous batter was also LH and he ripped a single off Guidry. LSU may have lost the game regardless, but I have to believe that any manager in baseball would bring in a LH pitcher in that situation. I firmly believe LSU would have won that game, and the series.

Did he not get 3 hits last night? Did he not get a double in this game tonight? Who else is doing better than him, except our best players Curiel and Brown. Milam is one of top 3 players on the team. Stanfield may the the 4th, time will tell, but the rest of the team is not SEC calibre talent, and they are proving it every weekend.
