Ross shared some of his flavored bourbon with him before the game Friday night, and he just couldn't put it down all weekend.

Yeah which is a real ringing endorsement for Dellenger.

Sadly the bigger issue is that the game never should have gone to extra innings in the first place.

Yep. Like I said, I don't follow him for baseball news, every now and then though I check and see if his timeline isn't filled random pictures and corny jokes... nope, hasn't changed.

I'm mad at myself for pinch-running for Chris Chinea yesterday. Bet that never crossed any of your minds, right?
Proof that Manieri doesn't read the rant. Both of these criticisms were mentioned here after the game.

First of all, I understand he's trying to defend himself. But I don't care how long you've been around the game of baseball, you can still make a bad coaching decision.
CPM made a series of bad coaching decisions that ended up losing him two games.
Also, although he skirted the issue, CPM's biggest weakness (and it's a big one) is that he has no idea when to pull a pitcher. He constantly waits one batter too long when a guy is struggling.

there is no way to really tell if a pitching change should/should not have been made. Every time it is criticized it is through hindsight.
If a coach pulls a pitcher and the reliever gives up runs, "HE PULLED HIM TO SOON RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!"
If he leaves him in and he gets roughed up, "HE DIDN'T PULL HIM SOON ENOUGH RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!"
if some posters would be allowed to manage the pitchers, they would burn through the entire pen pulling pitchers at the first sign of trouble. It is entirely possible for a pitcher to have a bad inning, get out of it, then come back and pitch well again a couple more innings.
on the other side, you may make it worse by pulling a pitcher that is starting to have trouble if you put in a guy that has a bad night. It can go from bad to worse quickly.
Point is, I think PM and Dunn have a better handle on using their pitchers than the folks posting here. Sure, they still make mistakes, as we all do, and I assure you it bothers them as much or more than it bothers us, as fans.

Sorry, but blaming the series loss on the coach when the players acted as if they were sleep walking though the games makes me laugh.

I don't feel like reading through the whole thread, but Deichmann did not get an AB. I guess he meant KRob.

Here's Friday's game thread. Many posters were begging for Poche to be pulled BEFORE HE GAVE UP THE LEAD. Not hindsight, they were saying CPM waited to long after he gave up 2 runs, yet Paul Mainieri still rode him until UK had the lead.

I think PM is a good coach. He has LSU playing at a top level. Baseball is that type of game that great teams have rough outings and good coaches miss calls. Lighten up, folks. PM isn't LM.

That argument could be made...

I only listened on the radio, but according to the announcers Deichmann did get an AB.

sigh.
PM is a great recruiter and has done a very good job of getting kids that want to come to school.
Yes.
No, sorry. Heres where you've gone wrong.
Les has hired, arguably, the best staff in college football. Say what you want about him, but he goes out and surrounds himself with the best people he can find. In football, you rely on your staff exponentially more.
PM is not, nor has he ever been, a good in game coach. Its happened time and time again. Small decisions can affect the outcome of a baseball game.
Above all else, PM has a bad habit of throwing players under the bus when faced with criticism. I don't like that.
Thats just, like, my opinion, man.

I see this get tossed around a lot. IMHO, the attitude of players in a game is a direct reflection of the coach. If you see your guys aren't mentally in it, do something about it. Call a huddle, kick a puppy, use an aerosol can in a manner other than intended, do something. You're the Captain, you've got to be able to lead your men.
