Poche was unwilling to even throw the ball to first on a pickoff attempt.

The pressure got to him. It's a classic example of choking.

Hale has played very poorly at the plate lately. It's a very different than the entire year. I think that is also pressure and the play at 3rd supports that.

It's a shame. But teams that are like that really shouldn't win. If you can't handle the heat then that's a significant part of your identity.

Bingo. Happens in every sport for LSU too. Football, basketball, etc. it's our star players too.

FlorIda scored 11 in an inning last night. Everybody needs to chill. It's the 6th inning. Let this play out.

They play tight because CPM is in mortal anguish every minute of every game . Worst body language that he could have. The other dugout they're eating apples....

I doubt that. These are drafted players that won 40 games again this year. This will be the second trip to Omaha for the majority of our starters. This group just chokes in Omaha. That's not on CPM.

Who started Poche??? Who left him in there when he couldn't throw to first or couldn't throw it to the catcher? He had an 8 pitch sequence where Scivque caught 1 in the air. Meaning the were in the dirt or hitting batters. Yet Pawl aka choke master just leaves him in. The player commited the errors yes but to put it all on them get the frick outta here. Pawl is a master post season choke job.
