re: How much of this should we hang on CPM?

PM is a lot like Miles.. IMO. He's a good man... good recruiter and he has excellent facilities to recruit too. But, he can be out-coached. I do not understand why, he will not bunt. NOt only will he not bunt.. the kids don't even seem to know how to bunt very well. PM seems to always want to play for the big inning. In The Box, that's ok, most of the time. But in the post-season.. you have to be able to play small ball when necessary.

If only we had come across a similar situation like losing by one run, Mason Katz on first base, in the top of the ninth with no outs, and Raph Rhymes batting. I'm certain that if that had happened before, and we had a negative outcome, then CPM would have not let Raph swing away.

I'm not an baseball expert or anything but down 2 would you really consider bunting and giving away an out in the 9th? I will say that RR (especially the last 2-3 at bats) seemed to be pressing and the look on his face made me think he was overwhelmed. I really feel bad for the seniors and in particular RR; he busted his arse to work his way into big time college baseball at LSU and has had an excellent career to have it end that way sucks big time and every LSU fan should be honored that kids love our school and put it all on the line for LSU (even though it doesn't always work out perfectly)!!
