I was on the keep Cohen and see where it leads us this year before this weekend. This weekend made me realize, A) he is always going to screw with the lineup no matter what talent he has on the team, B) he will never have a good third baseman, C) we will never win a conference championship under him and get a national seed, D) we will always make dumb mistakes on the base paths, and E) we will never get the most out of our talent for three years before they are draft eligible (this still can be turned around. Mangum is the best player that looks like he could be elite for us for three years). I still would give him two years after the ball park is built to see if he can produce something even better then 2013. I'm not for firing him right away. I get most are good with the results he is netting now.Quote:

Seriously, grow up and learn to discuss things like an adult. Your arrogant tantrums are played out. And news flash...people don't stop debating with you bc you win...they stop bc you come across as an angry arrogant douche, so they get tired of your tantrums and just quit. Bc they're adults.
You haven't actually even attempted to discuss anything. I'm the one that resorts to name calling and insults? Yet you were the one that started the name calling in THIS VERY thread. Which you'll conveniently ignore. It's funny that you make all of these accusations -- on the exact same stuff that you already did yourself. Whining about namecalling -- while namecalling.Quote:

I will do that --- just as soon as you do. Deal?Quote:

Engie is just a very passionate fan that at least uses logic to support his arguments. I can respect that at least. The only time that logic didn't work in his favor was when he supported giving Rick Ray the chance. That situation worked itself out and we ended up getting a goldmine in Coach Howland who I think is one of the elite college basketball coaches out there. I will admit my judgement has been clouded by emotion of being frustrated with getting swept by a team that was filled with upper classmen. You have made your arguments Engie and convinced me. I concede defeat on this issue. There, we square?
Welp....Lock it.
Eta: never saw the last response... My point wasn't to call you out so much as to call attention to the general overreaction to small pieces of a big pie...
The big picture is that we are about where we need to be and about where I thought we would be. Maybe slightly ahead. And I may have been the most optimistic on this site about this particular team..
And just like that we are 4th in the SEC 1 game out of first in the West.
Do we really want to host? This team seems to play better on the road.Quote:

It means a lot to come in here with the tradition LSU has and our guys really treated this thing like a business trip, and we?ve played well the past two days.?
Yeah, I would say I overreacted to what looks like now to be an anomaly weekend vs A&M for this team. I was wrong on Cohen as it is possible he could prove me wrong on a conference championship and national seed this year. I am right though that we can win a national championship in baseball. This freshman class is special and we need to keep "adding to" in the next couple of years and we could win back to back championships here. I know that is getting ahead of myself but if we get three years out of the 2015 class then it would be possible. This is the first recruiting class Cohen has gotten significant contributions from multiple freshmen.Quote:

This incoming class is monumentally large in that regard. Two of those classes back-to-back give us a great chance to win SEC and national titles. Need a little more(I expected more) from the freshman pitchers though. Hopefully they find their confidence in the summer, because they all have the stuff.
Is Jared Padgett hurt? I expected more from him. He turned down the third round to come to MSU. He seems like a great kid. I think he will be another great starter for us in the future from this class.Quote:

I just don't think we play as well at home as on the road. They do seem to have a better focus and resiliency on the road.Quote:
