What we've learned
LSU's three-game sweep of St. Mary's at Alex Box Stadium doesn't tell you a whole lot about the Tigers' baseball team.
But we have learned a few things.
1) LSU's first two wins came in one-run fashion. If you can win the majority of your one-run games, then that bodes for a successful season.
2) There are few household names on this LSU team. That may be a good thing if the Tigers are better as a whole than as individuals. Of course, it could mean trouble if there is no one to rely upon for clutch hitting.
3) Paul Mainieri's job of rebuilding the LSU program isn't as tough as the one Skip Bertman had in 1984, but it's a lot harder than the job Smoke Laval took over from Bertman.
It will be an interesting season. And we'll learn more as the weather warms up.
