Team forgot how to win IMO.

I posted several weeks ago that I thought CPM had allowed the new bats to get inside his head and that his new found fondness with small ball may have cost us some potential big innings.

Pretty shitty in-game coach, but the team isn't helping him out any either.
It's been a tough year. Not much else to say.

Bunting may account for 3 or 4 outs a game, this team just cannot hit

+1 However, if you are a sabermetrics type then you could probably make the argument that this team is that far from having a much better record.

Hanover had a horrible night at the plate on his at bats when he did not bunt. I was sitting close to the plate and his frustration was pretty obvious. At least he moved the runner over instead of just getting a K.

myself, as well. to me, small ball is for when you NEED it. one run down, late in the game type of thing. i think our batters are now screwed up in the head. they also have probably come to accept losing. what do we have to lose if he turns them loose?

That is a shitload of outs. Think of it the other way--what if the defense booted 3-4 every game and gave the other team that many extra outs. Be hard to win. I don't think PM gives the proper value to an out in college baseball. I'm not if that's just this year and a reaction to the new bats or if it's always been his philosophy, but I strongly disagree with it.

Yep, it's college.

I don't agree with it most of the time, but who is to say if its right or wrong with as bad as this team is at the plate
Posted on 4/16/11 at 11:13 am to josh336
That's exactly the reason why it's wrong.
We are bad enough at the plate as it is, and we can't get a clutch hit to save our lives. So giving up outs to put us in clutch hitting situations is the exact opposite of what we should be doing.

You can't say for sure that its wrong, the sample size with the new bats isn't very big.
Posted on 4/16/11 at 11:20 am to josh336
It's not good strategy. We've seen it over and over again this season.
It is very likely that we would have more wins this season without all of this small ball.
Cue: But you don't know for sure.

bunting a man over late in a game when you know you need a run is ok
bunting early in a game to add one run instead of playing for a few runs is just retarded. esp when he keeps bunting players high in the lineup.
how do you even know it will be a low scoring game? 1 run early in the game usually doesnt mean shite. and half the time we dont even get it. we just give up an out which puts us one step closer to ending the inning

I think PM tries to micro-manage every aspect of our offense. Too many bunts and hit/runs. It's ridiculous to see D1 hitters swinging at 50 foot breaking balls in the dirt to protect runners over and over again. Just let the boys play and the game define itself. I thought the idea was to have an amazing recruiting class so you have to do less coaching, not the other way around.

Hell CPM bunted Hanover in the 1st inning against Alcorn even though the opposing pitcher had over .400 BA against.
Giving up outs early in a game with your best hitters (hell LSU only has 6 decent hitters) is straight idiotic!

exactly and last night ended up being high scoring

Hit/Run is NOT in the same league as bunting. Hit/Run is an aggressive play that forces the opposing team to make a play (similar to stealing).
Bunting is giving away outs and puts NO pressure on the opposing team. Most teams would be thrilled to give up a base for an out to the #2 hitter in the 1st inning. Also with a base open, it allows the other team to pitch around Mahtook!

I wish that the coaches were actually paying attention to the way players approach hitting in general. A little bit of guidance here would be much appreciated.
