Beat writer Koki Riley joins sports editor Perryn Keys to take a long look at what's gone wrong with the LSU baseball team and how the Tigers can still make it into the NCAA tournament.

We first discuss how Jay Johnson's team has tumbled to 5-13 in Southeastern Conference play as it heads into a weekend series with lowly Auburn — as well as what LSU needs to do with 14 games remaining to give itself a good shot.

Koki breaks down the changes in LSU's weekend rotation and whether Nate Ackenhausen can help the Tigers in the Sunday starting role, as well as why Gage Jump was so effective against Missouri — and whether Luke Holman is in something of a mini-slump.

We also discuss why Johnson has come to rely on Griffin Herring — easily is most dependable reliever — and why some others in the bullpen, including Aiden Moffett and Cam Johnson, have started to play larger roles.

Finally, we discuss some of the brighter spots on this year's team, including Ashton Larson, Michael Braswell and Jared Jones.
