right because the pitch sequence with runners on 1st and 2nd 1 out and runner on 2nd 2 out are completely the same.
Oh, so now we're digging into these hypotheticals. All else being equal they would have tied the game up. That dude jumped the shite out of the first pitch he saw. I'm willing to bet $$$ that they would have still thrown a first pitch fastball to that hitter in that spot.
And if you want to get into that, you're right. Maybe they throw him a hanging curveball that gets hit 410 feet to LF instead of CF

That's not a play that even every MLB third baseman makes this is not even close to true
So you are telling me with absolutely certainty that 100% of major league third basemen turn that double play every single time?
Now that I know you're just trolling, I'm done.

dude you have no idea how they would have pitched him with a base open. That's just ludicrous to say they still would have tied it up.
maybe so. I never said he would have gotten out of the inning. The point is you have no way of knowing so bringing up the next guy hit it 410 is completely irrelevant.

Of course not every single time. Errors happen but if they were to frick it up yes it would have been a bad play and an error (the fact that the state scorekeeper called it a hit is funny to me but that's another debate). And just like Hale i would say they should have made that play. Pretty simple.
Every single MLB 3rd baseman is capable and makes that play over 90% of the time.

It should have been scored an error, you are correct.
But not because LSU didn't record 2 outs on the play.

Hale's yeah!!!!!
Also, it was a chopper to third, and Hale tried to handle the short hop with a backhanded stab. The only way to turn two was to backhand it, but it also made the play tough. The only sure thing was to get his body in front, take it off the chest, and get one out at first base. I do think if he fields the short hop cleanly that we could have turned two only because Rae was running. That was not a "tailor-made double play ball".

Restoring some of my faith in the Rant.

superstar SS and then having everything else be below average
Hale is an average 3rd baseman on a good day, but watching Foster try to play 2nd has been one of the most painful experiences since I've been following LSU baseball.

CPM has tried several combinations at 2nd & 3rd. For better or worse, these are the best we have on the roster. He's knowingly sacrificed defense for offense & overall, it's worked out ok. We ARE #1 in the country & a half game behind 1st in the SEC. Hale has been asked to replace the best defensive 3rd baseman CPM has ever seen.

So in the last three years, according to CPM, we have been privy to the:
- best defensive team he's ever seen
- best defensive third baseman he's ever seen
- best college pitcher he's ever seen
- player that makes in get down on his knees and thank God he plays at LSU
- greatest at bat in the last 100 years of baseball

Hale should not be playing the hot corner. Need better fielder at 3rd
Posted on 5/1/15 at 10:37 am to sumtimeitbeslikedat
I agree. He is trying to glove the ball like Bregs and he is not able to do it. He did the same thing in the A&M series. Just get in front of the ball.

Look on the bright side - we won in 14th, thanks to Hale. And to boot, Moo State's best closer is done.

With 3 below average fielders on the infield, wouldn't it make more sense to just try and make one of the 3 better defensively? Put Zardon or Hale at 1st and the other at 3rd, that way we at least have 2 good infielders.
Posted on 5/1/15 at 1:55 pm to josh336
If Hale was on the same leash Zardon was on is he still our starting 3B at this point?

Until last night, he's been pretty solid to this point. He had a bad game, not sure I'd call him a liability
