2011 LSU Baseball Preview: Pitchers
Yep, he's still out of eligibility Let's not mince words, LSU's pitching sucked last season. The 5.58 ERA doesn't begin to tell the story of just how ineffective the starting pitching was, whether due to injuries or simple ineffectiveness. Mainieri floundered around searching for someone,...
