I just want a spot in postseason.

Agreed! And there is still a chance. This season started off great, 8-0...then went to hello fast...I just want to see them claw their way back and get a postseason birth. Anything can happen then. We still lead the nation in Strike outs. Offense is putting runs across. If we cab just stop the self inflicted wounds of BB, wild pitches and errors we can do some things. Let's get game 2 and go from there. HOLD THE ROPE!

Got your wish! Yorke fell down and hurt his ankle

Ruckert and Patrick are getting their shot and look like they belong in an LSU jersey.

Ruckert is a defensive liability. When he is not kicking balls to the outfield he is missing 2nd base or throwing the 1b off the bag. He has 4 errors, 2 of which came as a "defensive replacement"

I'm sure he will improve, but he is far from "looking like he belongs in ans LSU jersey"

JAY is furious

---

Is he though? I love JJ, and believe he is not happy with these results....but "furious"? I haven't seen him furious since he got thrown out at Tenner.

Of course a 5 run lead was not enough...we just can't put a team away.

That came soon after the infamous botched double play

---

2 runs for MSU were scored tonight because we didn't have a foot on 2nd. One by Ruckert after caraway threw him off the bag, and the one by Milam. Literally the definition of "game of inches"

We can't even get a strike out right...same things that have plagued us all year

I will still watch every pitch of every game. That is what it looks like to not give up on them...that said...I expect to see more of what we have seen to this point. "Past precedent is the best predictor of future performance"

They will beat SC... and Could beat MSU...they are also in freefall

I feel like they have really good pieces to different puzzles so they don't fit together in this puzzle. When the pieces do align it is good, but not elite.

To answer OP, I got that feeling after Sac State, but wanted to reserve judgment until SEC play. I really felt like they were turning a corner against Tenn, but losing to Bethune was when I said, ok...we are just not good. They looked out matched last weekend at Ole Miss and they are not even close to A&M sadly. I expect we get swept again this week.

I trust JJ and know that he will get it fixed moving forward. We have solid pieces, just need to find others that fit the same puzzle
