Small ball baseball=four corners basketball

I hate it. You lay down enough bunts and the other team will make an error. It is the toughest defensive play in baseball.
If we played 10 games with UCLA Tigers would win 9 IMHO. They could not have been playing small ball with any other pitcher they have and kept up with us.
That pitcher throwing the high strikes, daring us to hit a homer was the difference.
BTW---if we have to play in such big parks then give us back the old bats or better yet let go to wood bats. In 4 games this weekend the best teams in college baseball managed one home run. Who wants baseball without home runs.

What the frick is the point of this shite. They won. They executed the bunts and we had 2 defensive lapses the costs us the game.

Stop bitching. It sucks that we lost. Deal with it.

I take it you are assuming that we wouldn't have swung at letter to chin high pitches against their other pitchers?
I'm convinced they had us scouted on that....Plutko isn't wild and he knew exactly what he was doing throwing it up there with our propensity to swing through it and pop it up. He basically missed a few spots and TD Ameritrade bailed him out on all but one which he figured it would do if he missed.

West Coast style of play can be enough to get you there. It's not good enough to win titles. The championship teams have a more balanced style.

Wow, this is all pathetic, but this is what I came to read to be glad i dont freak out. Its a game, we lost, this is the third of many years at TD Ameritrade, deal with it. "Small ball" is part of the game.

Round ball, round bat, shite happens.

Personally I like games that are not 21 to 14 and take 4 hours, that was not baseball.

On that field I bet UCLA wins 3 or 4 games out of 10. The field is to their advantage and style of play. It's a bad match up for LSU. We win 9 of 10 at The Box.

I never thought that I would see the day where more HRs were hit in the women's CWS than men's CWS

LSU needs to adopt small ball beccause in that park it's impossible to hit it out consistently like they tried to do last nite. Anwhere else the score would have been 5-2 tigers. I kept yellin at my tv hit more singles to drive people in, but instead they kept tryin to crush the ball.

Its a BAD brand of baseball but PM is the only one complaing of the teams still playing..........

If you can figure this out, why couldn't PM and Sanchez. I am so done with Sanchez, I swear I would help him pack his shite and gtfo.
