And LA Tech destroyed LSU 12-1 at the Box in 2019.
Without their Ace...
You can't count these mid week games as an automatic W.

They play Tulane who is ranked in the 80's in RPI.

Are we really talking RPI right now after one weekend of baseball? LSU is #145 right now.

Will be interesting to see if LTU goes johnny whole staff or not. Looking back at the box scores, it looks like in both games tech had 5+ run leads when they pulled their starter and then their bullpen just blew their load. I'm assuming those were young guys who the moment was just too big for. I wouldn't read anything into midweek games.

One of those games was a weekend game. It was just pushed to Monday instead of being played Sunday. They pushed all the games that weekend back a day, so the weekend games went Saturday-Monday.

They have two less postseason appearances than La Tech in the last 35years

And they haven’t had a baseball program since 1980

Which is exactly what the original poster you replied to said.

That's right, that was part of the opening weekend with LTU and Air Force coming down to the Box. Will be interesting to see if Ruston is anywhere close to ready for the crowd that's coming. I imagine the SBC and Monroe folks will be in full force to root on JJ and the boys.

How does this make me sound dumb? They literally have the number 2 team in the country going to fricking RUSTON. LSU will probably also be the only ranked team they play this year unless ULL or some other no name team makes a run. But yea, I'm dumb
There were 4 or 5 ranked teams in Conference USA alone last season. It's a solid baseball conference. That's not even counting the out of conference games they played. That included a beatdown of Ole Miss, a win over Arkansas...etc. So yeah, when it comes to baseball, you sound kind of dumb.

Tech was cruising in the first game. Everyone wanted Paul fired. Then Tech pulled their starter and brought in back to back guys that threw 80...no really...and LSU exploded for a ton of runs. With the starter, LSU honestly didn't do anything.

Happened twice! Tech's bullpen was horrendous last year. It was by far their biggest weakness. With just two or three quality bullpen arms, Tech would've made a very realistic push for the CWS. Yes, they were that close.

Yep, them too. And that wasn't even in their top 10 most impressive wins.

Last year they had a home series against number 1 Arkansas and should have won 2 out of 3 but lost one on an error late in one of the games. Does Tech want to beat LSU? Absolutely why wouldn’t they. But to act like nothing bigger than LSU has ever played a game in Ruston shows how out of touch you are with not only with LA Tech but also this particular game.

LSU is a proud baseball program. I'd say the best program since 1990.

Yet, this from so many "die hard college baseball fans" pops up every season. Has to be one of two things:

1- Just good old fashioned trolling.
2- Supposed college baseball fan truly doesn't understand the game and rotations.
