A LSU fan's perspective. I stole this from the rant. Some good statistics here.

He brings up some very valid points. Our 2-out hitting will not be that good every weekend. It just can't be. We will not score over 30 runs every series. At the same time, we won't start Siary every Game 1 for the rest of the year, and we won't have bad starting pitching every Game 2 for the rest of the year. Things will work out. We just need to keep grinding, keep improving, and keep competing. There is a closer distance between 11-19 and 18-12 than many realize.

Ok so instead of beating them 15-5, we beat them 9-5 with a lower ave 2 out hitting. Just narrative spin on how bad we beat them by LSU.

Yep. You are correct. Every series something will bounce your way, and something won't. In this series our 2-out hitting was extraordinary to a point that it won't stay like that for the year. However, we only got 5.0 combined innings pitched (giving up 8 earned runs) from our Game 1 and Game 2 starters. That also won't stay like that for the year. So it tends to even out. The bottom line is that we won 2 out of 3. And we did it without Dohm (our #1 starter), Auger (our closer), Holcombe (great stuff but needs to work out kinks), and Loftin (SEC weekend starter stuff that needs to work out kinks). The LSU guy doesn't mention that.

We have holes. Everyone does. We need Kohler to get some extra base hits. We need Chance/Downs/Stevens to hit in leftfield (they have done so lately). We need Long/Powell to hit enough in the 8 or 9-hole. We need Dohm healthy. We just won 2 of 3, and I think we can still improve a good bit. This team has potential if they keep working and improving.
