    Mainieri is not Skip but in this day and age I don't think even Skip would be Skip.

    We replaced a lot this year AND got hit with major injuries.

    2019 we should be monsters. If we make a super this year, build a statue.

    I was critical of Saban. Still am.

    Saban would suck as a baseball coach. To much failure for him to compete. Give this season time like our basketball team.

    Agree, lost a ton, Watson and Smith go down and you realize Hess may not be a starter after all. That’s a lot to overcome.

    Hess will be the Friday starter vs Texas. He started a few midweek games last year before cpm sent him to the bullpen and told him to go max effort on every pitch. That's what made him so effective as a closer but I don't know if they has it in him to tone it down and realive that a one ore two pitch groundout is better in the long run than a 5 or 6 pitch strikeout.

    We are doomed this season unless the young arms get a lot better soon. I don't know much about the Longhorns but they are likely a lot better team than Notre Dame.

    This thread isn't just for this year. He has been getting Les out of more for years. #PunIntended #SorryNotSorry

    In his 12th season as LSU coach Mainieri took his team to the finals of the College World Series. In what would be Mile's 12th season he is unemployed and can't find a job.

    My point is he should have a few more rings along the way with the talent we have had, or do we resort to excuses like we did for Miles?
