It’s not baseball season until an early game melt happens

Feels like home under this oyster sky. Just imagine the melt if we lose.

No need for a melt but Hurd being pulled in the 3rd against something called VMI isn’t something to be proud of.

I think the rain bothered Hurd.

Our "Ace" just gave up 4 runs in an inning to a bottom half SoCon team. I'd say that's melt worthy.

Hopefully it's just the wet weather that gave Hurd issues and not a lack of control. I assume a damp ball would mean lower spin rate which would dampen movement on Hurd's pitches.

Or he just stunk today.

I have learned to just let myself be entertained from it all

Who is melting in a non sarcastic way? I think you are confusing melting with people just analyzing what is happening.

Expectations need to be tempered this year - next year will be the test.

Typical beginning of the season. Baseball is a funny game.

VMI hit .322 as a team last year and their best five hitters, who are all back, all hit .345 or better. They have a big pitching problem but they can hit the ball pretty good.

Melt? Not warranted. Concern about Hurd being our Friday night guy? Possibly warranted considering he had a limited sample size of elite pitching last year

It’s fun and a reminder how many LSU fans on TD don’t understand baseball or baseball seasons.

Folks come into some of these games thinking it's going to be 20-0. VMI is a good hitting team and are showing it!

Pitching and hitting need some work and improvement. Not doing any better than all the scrimmage stats that have been posted on here daily.
By the way, walks are killers!
