3 years before any "fire Mainieri" could become even remotely real.

Cool. We will have so much to rant about on The Rant.

Just out of curiosity, when is the correct time to melt?
Melt whenever you want to, but the fact remains...
No D1 NCAA Baseball team has gone undefeated.
-The most victories in a season was the 1982 Wichita State team (73-14).
-The best winning percentage was 1972 Arizona State with .914 (64-6).
No DII or DIII teams have gone undefeated either.
My point being... everyone loses games. Do we want to be 3 and 4 against in-state teams this season during the mid-week? NO... but I don't think a loss to Tulane, whatever their RPI was, is the end of the world.
I reserve the right to change my opinion based off the results of the next two weekends of conference play though...

You're missing the point.
Nobody expects this team to be undefeated. A midweek loss or two happens. But these midweek losses are starting to pile up. And they're not "good" losses. Each one takes a bite out of your RPI. Last night's loss was to a team with an RPI of 244. That hurts when you're trying to position yourself for the postseason.
And again, I ask: if you can't consistently win against these midweek opponents, how can you realistically expect to win the SEC where the competition is of superior caliber?

After our 56 game regular season is complete.
I'm still confident they'll find their groove offensively and the pitching staff seems to be improving.
At least wait til the halfway point of the season.

I get what you are saying... but still we have only lost 8 games all season. Does it get any easier from here? NO it does not. I'm still not ready to give up on them though.

Did Lange or Poche throw yesterday? Or in any of these mid-week losses?
For reference though, the guy that Tulane started yesterday, will start this Sunday in their weekend rotation...
Thus far in their season he is tied for the team lead in starts... and has the lowest ERA on the team.. so arguably their ace.

I agree, Mainieri's seat is as cold as ice.

Alleva should have called Miles bluff to Arkansas, and how could the moron not learn from his mistakes and not call Mainieri's bluff to Texas?
And as soon Mainieri hypothetically goes to Texas, and perhaps even wins or LSU gets worse the other half of this board goes ape shite because Alleva "LET MAINEIRI GO".
I am not sure that I totally disagree with you, but crystal balls and hindsight are surely easily attainable for the average fan.

No doubt. LSU is in good shape in the SEC and has plenty of time for a strong push towards a top 8 seed.
I agree, our hardest weekend series was against UF and we came out with a win and 4-2 in SEC play, the rest of the SEC teams we play that are decent or good is home games. I dont like losing to these in state schools at all though. The team needs to open their eyes and CPM needs to reach down and grab a set and light a fire under these guys asses

You do realize that pitching is only one part of the equation, right?
The SEC schools we face on the weekends throw their aces, too.

Yes, we should have let him walk and hired ....?
What absurd, stupid thinking.
While is was foolish to take the bait on Miles, nearly everyone at the time wanted to retain that moron.
Manieri is not a moron and he is a good coach. They don't grow on trees. I wonder when folks are going to realize that college baseball has far more parity than football or hoops. Forget the fact, that it's early in the season. How often has a Manieri team got hot towards the end of the season? Just to point out LSU has won the SEC tourney in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014 under Manieri.
Yes, he makes you scratch your head sometimes but he is still is brighter than the idiots on this forum.

I had the same reaction when I saw that...
I did some research and the most game played in a single season is 91 by the 1982 San Diego St. Aztecs... they went 58-30-3, went 0-2 in the regionals and had 6 guys drafted...

Hilarious, I would have been shocked if he didn't do this. It really sucks when you love a program and a school and truly dislike the two individuals running them.

As did Tulane...
My point is, do you think Tulane knocks Poche around like that? Lange?
If you are blinded by your rage to not see the difference in how we approached the game from a strategy standpoint, compared to how the mid-week teams have approached it... then I cant help you and I'll stop.
Again, I'm not excusing the losses, just also don't think they are the end of the world...
Posted on 3/29/17 at 10:32 am to SaturdayTraditions
Tulane did not throw their "ace". He's their normal midweek guy but is moving to weekends this week because he is doing well. This explains why he was pulled early. We had 6 innings vs the worst bullpen they've had in decades.

Tell me how he's not a moron and how he's a good coach. What has he done to show he's a good coach?

I'm sorry, I just don't fricking believe that. How many different teams have made it to Omaha in the past decade?

I'm sorry, I just don't see it, I see many guys on here that make more sense with baseball than what he does. There are at least five-ten times a game where I just wonder "what in the frick were we doing right there?" Just think how many brighter coaches are out there that could get this program where it needs to be.

0-3 vs Tulane since last year

Stats don't lie bud...
Tied for team lead in starts.
In the team lead for ERA.
That would mean he is their best pitcher statistically... so yea.. he's the ace.
Posted on 3/29/17 at 10:53 am to SaturdayTraditions
So Poche is our Ace? Or Beck?
Singer is UF's Ace then right? Not the probable #1 overall pick?
