Nutriaitch Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 LSU currently tied for the 12th (and final) spot in conference tourney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Good news is A&M has a much tougher remaining schedule than we do. Bad news is our remaining schedule is still brutal. I don’t see us finishing above .500 in conference play. And probably don’t clinch a spot in tourney until final weekend. right now there is a VERY distinct possibility of missing the postseason all together.

Nutriaitch Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 I think Auburn has most likely locked down last place and will finish somewhere around 6-24 in conference. so that leaves a legit battle for the last spot in the Tourney. Looking at future schedules, i think it's a 3 way fight. UGA will likely be the 9 seed at 12-17 (.413) Mizzou the 10 seed at 12-18 (.400) Bama likely finishes at about 11-19 (.366) and should be no lower than 12th. if LSU can win a minimum of 2 games total over next 3 weeks, then take 2 each from Bama, Auburn, and A&M that'll get us to 11-19 with tie breaker over Bama for the 11. A&M finishing at 9-21 would be 1st one out at 13th. so my gut finish : 9. UGA 12-17 (.413) 10. Mizzou 12-18 (.400) 11. LSU 11-19 (.366) 12. Alabama 11-19 (.366) 13. A&M 9-21 (.300) 14. Auburn 6-24 (.200) We'll check this thread on May 22 to see how i did in my picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 AS of this past Wednesday , D1 Baseball protests us to be left out of the field of 64 https://d1baseball.com/projections/midseason-report-projected-field-of-64/ New projections come out agin this wednesday, but i don't expect a ton of movement.

Hatchertiger Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) 2011 is the last full season we didn't make a regional and our conference records was 13-17. We have 18 conference games left and we are currently 3 and 9. I have no idea but what if the magic number is 14 conference wins to get in? We would need to go 11-7 down the stretch. I just don't know. It might come down to having to sweep Bama, Auburn and A&M in the last 3 series of the season w/ 2 of those on the road. Looks like the hitting may be coming around but b/c of pitching we have almost no margin for error on Friday and Saturday and who knows on Sunday. Not looking good. ***Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley playing in the background*** Edited April 12, 2021 by Hatchertiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 i think 15 and we’re in. 13-14 is a crap shoot and will depend on what we would do in Hoover. anything less would require winning the SEC tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 and let’s be honest, we don’t have the arms to make a run in either Tournament. Bats are hit and miss (mostly miss against good pitching). Who do we have after Marceaux? Labas is the epitome of decent, but not really a stud. Money, Edwards, Hellmers can probably log enough inning to combine for a full game. then what? Just like every other season since seemingly Woodstock, we got nothing worth mentioning for middle relief. Except this year we doubled down and don’t have a reliable closer either.

Eq4bits Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 It would seem AD hasnt been what we need except for more pitcher injuries..... word from a close friend of the Nola’s is daddy nola wouldnt let AD ‘touch’/mess with Aaron... given recent history of our pitching I can’t say that I blame them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchertiger Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) After flirting with Texas b/c he felt "unappreciated" and "unwanted" (his words) from LSU, PM got an extension through 2024. Not sure what the buyout would be if we send him packing. Quote The situation left him questioning how much his presence was desired at LSU. “In some ways, you feel a little bit sometimes unappreciated,” he said. “And maybe, at some point, maybe you feel unwanted. So I thought, ‘Well, why not listen to what they say, and see truly what the people you’re working for think of you?’ ” https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_d4732cc0-deae-11e6-8f11-ff4cb8e6626b.html Edited April 14, 2021 by Hatchertiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically Alleva gave him a fully guaranteed contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 We'll have to see how the rest of the season plays out I guess. My gut tells me they won't fire him b/c we have a young team. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchertiger Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 At the end of the day, across the board, I want whatever is best for LSU. However, and admitting my bias, CPM has become such a whiner!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchertiger Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 We are now 4-11 in the SEC with five series to go against Ole Miss (9-6), Arkansas (11-4), Alabama (7-8), Auburn (4-11) and A&M (2-14). So if 15 wins is the magic number to get in the tourney we have to go 11-4 to finish the season. We will have to play "lights out" to get there. This team has the talent can't seam to put it all together or catch any breaks. Long row to hoe for sure!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutriaitch Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 only 2 ways we making a regional this year. 1. a 2008-esque run to close this thing out. 2. sneak in the back door of SEC tourney and win it to get the conference auto-bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Gonna be tough to repeat "the run" from 2008 or come close to it but technically still possible. As of April 20th, 2008, LSU was 6-11-1. Beginning on April 22 with a mid-week game against Toolame, the Tigers won 16 regular season games in a row, 12 of them SEC games sweeping 4 teams namely USCe, Ky, Moo St and Auburn. As tournament champions the 2008 team added four wins in the SEC tournament. You will note that the first SEC team in that run was none other than South Carolina who at the time was a top 10 team. After winning the first game this weekend (Thursday) and going into the 7th of the second game with a 2-0 lead, it did occur that maybe, just maybe ... but it was not to be.

Nutriaitch Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 We are roughly a game ahead of where i think we need to be to get to Hoover, but that loss Saturday STINGS. could be two games ahead which would have us playing with House money against Arky this weekend. With the added bonus of possibly not HAVING to win the last 3 weekends of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
