I don’t know if this should be stickies or just bumped after a bad loss but I’d like to waste a few minutes before what will undoubtedly be an equally or more disappointing basketball game.
Yeah it’s not great, but it’s one game but it’s baseball and this stuff happens. It doesn’t prove that we’re doomed because Ginn is hurt and it doesn’t prove that Lemonis is a crappy coach without Mangum on the team. It proves that we played (and have been) like ****. The offense will get it going and midweek games are where you test your new guys on the mound. Unfortunately a true freshman from New Jersey and a grad transfer from Fordham **** the bed and gave up seven runs before the end of the afternoon commute. **** in 2017 almost three years ago to the day we gave up 10 runs in the bottom of the ninth to lose 13-8 vs. Morehead State. February is about seeing who’s got it and who doesn’t. Sometimes you can out talent a team in the process (Feb 19th 2017 vs. 269th RPI western Illinois, back to back 4-2 wins vs 221st RPI UMass Lowell in 16 or our two wins to take the series vs 245th RPI Utah State in 2018, both won by two runs). In the now immortalized 2013 season we had three one run wins vs teams outside of the top 200.
I’m but sure if it’s coincidence or not but like clockwork, every other year, sees us drop a load in our pants vs a way inferior opponent. In 2014 we lost both halves of a twin billing to 221st RPI Hofstra. In 2016 we gave lost a game where if you looked at the box score you’d think Eastern Kentucky was aggressive early and scored two TDs and then converted the Both 2 point tries after then state rallied but couldn’t make up on the conversions, final 16-12. In 2018 we lost to the previously mentioned 245th RPI Utah State team and mustered 1 run in 11 innings.
So now that I’ve successfully wasted enough time and I’m going to cut this here. Bad loss, LSU has a loss to the team ranked below Texas Southern in the RPI.
