Not pretty, BUT it is baseball gentlemen. My guess is the first 5 wins inflated the egos of a young team and they took the next few games for granted. PLENTY of time to right the ship! Don't write this season off yet! CPM will get them there. :tigereye:
not good to lose a series to Appy State, who the SoCon coaches projected to finish #5 in their conference (the SoCon only puts 1 to 3 teams in the 64-team NCAAT: 1 last year, 3 the year before that, 2 the year before that, 1 the year before that, 2 the year before that) looking at the 16 teams that hosted a regional last year, and looking at how they did in weekend games before conference play began...none of them had more than 3 weekend losses against "cupcake" teams. LSU already has 2 the one exception was UCLA, who lost a series to San Jose State and then lost a series the next week to a crappy Nebraska team, and then lost a weekend game vs Cal Poly for a total of 5 losses in weekend games versus "cupcake" teams before conference play began... and they went on to host a regional Texas, Texas A&M, Arizona State, and Oregon State each had 3 weekend losses to "cupcake" teams before conference play began... and they all went on to host a regional as for the rest of the SEC currently, at least LSU didn't get swept like Alabama got swept by Florida Atlantic, 5-2, 9-2, 9-4 and at least LSU isn't having the horrible start that Vanderbilt (who was preseason #10) is having: they got swept by Stanford, then swept by Oregon (who wasn't in the Preseason Top 25 of any poll), and now Vandy is out of the Top 25
