yes, that's the disappointing thing today.

LSU was vulnerable in the first half of the game

This loss is squarely on Schlossnagle. Several bad coaching decisions at critical times.


Last year he made all the right decisions and this is one of the best teams money can buy . We need to take one tomorrow and be happy it's a long season. We've got to hope we can get some pitchers to step up. We still have Minnich and Werner out.


Except we aren't even competitive against a good team. Our batting isn't good enough to savage a season, pitching like this is going to keep us under .500 in the SEC.

Can't be happy for a "long season" if we are bad...and after 20 games...its safe to say we are bad.
Dude. Go drink a beer or take a walk or something.

Starting 13-7 (0-3) and people are hopeful for a good season. How does that make any sense? We haven't even got into the hardest part of our schedule and every aspect of our game is struggling. Whether it's ground outs or throwing strikes, we fail to make routine baseball plays.

You think we are going to have a successful conference season?

Yes, but probably not by your definition.

You think we will be above .500 in conference play?

I recognize the SEC is the best conference in the nation. Being north of .500 is hard, and I'm not seeing it from our guys. The stage is set this weekend, we are at home, you've had 17 games to figure it out. And here we are trailing by 6...with a depleted bullpen for game 3.

Starting 0-3 requires three 2-1 series wins just to come back to .500. And with our schedule...how are you handicapping the first 3 series?


Ole miss was 14-16 in sec play last year and won the cws

Also you characterizing lsu as merely a "good" team is asinine, this is a semi pro team

Maybe take some deep breaths

Funny how top teams are always lauded as talent-stacked, filled with 1st rounders, with 15in ckcs and no holes in their game.

They played mistake free baseball today, unlike their opponents.

I can remember some great times at the Cow Hop as well as other great times I can't remember


The Cow Hop was awesome. Best huge burgers!

I also remember $1.95 pitchers at The Chicken.

Good times.

So all the baseball writers, ta staff, schloss are just making it up? Lsu is just your run of the mill college baseball team and the season's over cause we lost the series to them

I'm hard pressed to classify our bullpen as depleted after today. If anything I thought we should have used some better arms when we were leading. According to Boomer the 2 we brought in initially were guys with limited pitches that depend on spotting pitches. With the ump having a strike zone the size of a thimble that was a bad matchup and it cost us big time.

First rule of college sports: talk up your opponent.

If you lose "well they are a semi-pro team"
If you win "they are outstanding, yet we beat em."

Either way it's win-win. You never beat a #1 and say "well they are really overrated" it undercuts your win.

Baseball writers sensationalize stories. That's journalism, and in sports journalism its doubley true.

Ah...it was the small strike zone that gave em a dozen free basesrunners.

I guess our batters aren't used to seeing balls in the center of the zone, but the LSU all-stars can crush that all day.

with regard to the pitching...

Schloss doesn't want to use Lamkin and Cortez as "bridge" guys (to Johnston) on Friday and Saturday.

but he needs to consider it

While is may be generally true, LSU is ranked #1 and I assumed it was for good reason. The play from them I saw today substantiated that assumption.

They didn't just luck into a #1 ranking. Their play has validated it.

If you were going to pick a week to criticize a loss from our team, when we face the best baseball team we'll see all year (probably) isn't the week I'd pick. I'm more concerned about us losing the earlier games.

It's gonna be really funny if LSU finishes 3rd in the SEC: who knew the conference had three semi-pro teams?

Teams that are expecting to go deep in the postseason don't give up a four run lead with two outs and an 02 count. That's where the game changed today
AggieArchitect04
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Sure. There are other good teams in the SEC. SEC teams have won 4 out of the last 5 CWS.

I'm still more concerned about dropping games to lower quality opponents than teams I am pretty sure will at least make it to a super.

Fact is that Schloss is still building things here. Last year we hit the jackpot with the upperclassman transfers. A lot of the bulk of our talent now is young. A step back this year would not surprise me nor make me too worried. Schloss has things headed in the right direction.

Schloss made some bad coaching decisions today that really cost us. Very uncharacteristic I think.
You are the world, we are the USA, don't mess with us and we won't blow your $hit away.

We were up 4-0 when all this went down and in position to take this game...and their starter was still on the mound. It's not like we weren't getting production at the plate.

He made decisions that turned out bad. No coach purposefully makes "bad" decisions.

We have seen discussion about the # of walks yet 6 of them under Wansing didn't score.

And yes, IMO the decision to pull Wansing turned out bad.

ETA: The #3 team got swept, did Bianco make bad decisions?

Did someone say, "it ain't like it used to be" about Aggie Sports?

They lied.......

Before the flames come, I love everything Aggie, I'm just jaded from years of disappointment after disappointment. With the exception of 2012 and JFF, there really hasn't been a lot to get excited about and now, the sips are back. To all you "young'uns who wanted to play these clowns again, be careful what you wish for.

I don't remember the cow hop.

A place we all loved and the food wasn't that great, honestly.

But it was cheap. Cheese cow pie and fries for $2. Probably 40% fat but they were good for us poors. Loved it that they would call your name three times and it became anyone's if you didn't show up.

I'd like to see J. Thompson and K. Wells on the bench tomorrow and perhaps longer. We apparently do not have a catcher that can hit above his weight but give me Gregson who seems to be the best defensive option. Three big holes in the lineup and that's before Werner and Targac, neither of whom have hit the ball well this season. We just look like we took the entire Fall off from playing ball and haven't got back to form in any phase of the game. And that without mentioning the pitching. Woof. Hopefully the team gets in synch sooner than later.
