re: This is exactly what I was talking about yesterday in my post on the pitching.

I think it will be beneficial that this 5 run first inning happened in post season play going forward.

See, this is the type of ignorant stuff that pisses me off as a diehard LSU baseball fan.

Ok, so let's see, we won the game after coming from behind because our pitcher gave up 5 runs in the first.

I guess that must mean our pitching staff sucks as a whole. I recall them only giving up 3 more runs the rest of the way and LSU scoring 9

A win is a win and when you do it enough, weaknesses become null and void.

It’s the antithesis of what you want out of your No. 1 hurler. He’s supposed to conserve your relievers, not require them to come streaming to the disaster area like the Red Cross.

Poche might pitch in the first game, but--I can't stress this enough--he is NOT the best pitcher on the team. Rabalais knows it. I know it. The coaches know it.

Poche had a bad night. That's baseball.

But rather than self-immolating as a sacrifice to the baseball gods over one poor performance by a starter, why aren't you (and Scott) happy about seven lights out innings of relief?

The bullpen--ya know, the thing so many folks were worried about all year--looked great.



Take a deep breath and enjoy post-season baseball, buzzkill.
