There is so much incredibly wrong about this post. I give up trying to bring facts to the table when you dumb asses refuse to accept them.

Thursday night isn’t a good example as it’s the 1st game of a 3 game series & you don’t want to burn too many arms
I do think as pitch counts go up that it would be nice to have someone at least up & moving in the pen, not necessarily throwing but at least ready to start if things go downhill quickly

Tremendous perspective, ACCURATE and undeniable!
Show me what in that statement was accurate and undeniable?
Is it how he claimed we couldn't hit, and our hitters regress, while having a player on the team who will become LSU's all time leading hitter?
Is it how we are hitting for the 5th best average in SEC play? But we regress hitting.
Is it how we have the third highest OBP? But we take the first strike.
Is it how we are first in runs scored? But we can't hit.
Is it how we are 4th in total hits, and second in RBI's?
Is it how we are 4th in walks?
Is it how we are 4th in sac bunts? We can't bunt though.
Which of those facts is undeniable, and accurate about what he said?

2. Recruiting for ratings rather than positional need and depth. Paul and his staff consistently bring in highly rated talent while missing on big stars due to the MLB, which is to be expected. However, they seem to not take positional needs into account nearly as much as they should. Every team seems to have glaring deficiencies at one or two positions. There is no reason to have to start a DH who bats less than .200. There is no reason for a program of this size to have glaring holes at catcher and first base. There is no reason to be starting a catcher who can't get the ball out of his glove fast enough to throw down to second base. There is no reason to have a batting strategy based around left/right-handed pitchers while recruiting zero left-handed pitchers. While big recruiting ratings look good, failing to address key positional shortages makes those ratings sort of a paper tiger.
We don't have a hole at 1st base.
The issues at catcher stem from a poor evaluation by the previous recruiting coordinator who signed a guy that quit after fall practice necessitating that we sign two JUCO catchers in the same year.
What was that previous recruiting coordinators name? Catanzaro or something?

How are they in overall attempts? Do they attempt to steal fewer bases than other SEC teams?

Agreed, no spark in these guys

I didn't claim we couldn't hit. I claimed that when players come to LSU, their batting averages rarely improve significantly during their time here. If they're a .280 hitter their freshman year, they rarely climb above a .300 average for their career. At the same time, we've seen several .400+ hitters decline in batting average to become low .300 or even sub .300 hitters by their senior seasons.

So do you feel the stats below (as of 4/21) are indicative of a team that is "clicking on all cylinders" and will likely be a National seed, host a Regional, Super Regional and make it to Omaha? I do not think so.

If the baseball team didn’t do this every year I’d be worried. They get hot at the end and make a run. Until that changes I’m not worried.

Do you honestly think he gets fired within the next 3 years for performance?
