LSU's home run stats this year, the competition LSU played along with quite a few games lost by 1 run put LSU clearly in the top 64 by a good margin.


In talent? Sure. In the criteria to be selected? Probably somewhere between 50-60.

This team is a very good team and has made it to the top 32.

1 more win tonight and LSU makes it to the sweet 16 and deserving for sure.


Both are irrelevant to what I posted. What happens after the selection doesn’t validate or invalidate anything.

Florida was a good club who deserved to host their regional. Going 0-2 doesn’t change that.

LSU played in a conference with 7 national seeds
Arkansas, Vandy, Tenn, Florida, Ole Miss, Miss St, S. Carolina.

The committee saw this tough conference and determined LSU was deserving of a spot in the tournament and luck really had nothing to do with it. LSU has a very good team and the fact they are in the top 32 simply proves this.

1 point loss to Tenn
1 point loss to Vandy
1 point loss to Ole Miss and swept series
1 point loss to A&M
1 point loss to Bama
1 point loss to Auburn

Any of these games were a toss up, error here, hit not in the hole and this is baseball.

Wrong.

LSU was on the bubble with UGA and Bama. All 3 had strong resumes but only two were getting bids.

Luck had a ton to do with it.

Again, this is irrelevant to the selection process.

1 point loss to Tenn
1 point loss to Vandy
1 point loss to Ole Miss and swept series
1 point loss to A&M
1 point loss to Bama
1 point loss to Auburn



You don’t score points in baseball.

So luck had nothing to do with it, but bad luck is why they play at games?

You don’t get to have it both ways.

Completely and utterly false.



i literally looked up teams that advanced to the super regional after losing the first game of the regional

it's happened 25 times since 1999

13 were #1 seeds

8 were #2 seeds

3 were #3 seeds and there was 1 #4 seed

No 3 seed has done it in 10 years
