Baseball Coaching Decisions

I really hate the type of baseball this coaching staff is trying to play. We tried to sacrifice bunt in the first two innings when we had no outs. Luckily we didn't get the bunt down in the second and we got a hit. I just needed to vent to get you guy's opinions because this baseball is hard for me to watch.

Ross bunting wasnt bad, but the Hanover trying to bunt 3 times was horrible.
They were anticipating Gausman not giving up many runs, they were just trying to scratch a few across to give a little cushion. Needless to say, the last half inning we had kind of ruined that.

Ross letting that 3rd strike through his legs is what has killed us so far. Gotta block that one.

true.
Gausman is filthy though. Gotta be on your toes every pitch

They did the same thing a lot last year & Mainieri admitted after the season that he had overdone it in response to the new bats. Seems he didn't really learn. It makes no sense to me, but Bianco has done it for several years at Ole Miss. Maybe one reason they never get to Omaha.

That's the thing. Ross knew that pitch was going to be in the dirt.

Let's look at our team.
1 hole - Jones(athlete) can play struggling early but coming on. Our best baseball player
2 Hole - Dozar in and out of lineup. Good HS player out of Morgan City. Yes Morgan City. Overachiever
3 Hole - Katz (average guy at Jesuit) Did show pop but no position
4 Hole - Rhymes Could always hit. Average in field. Played 2B in High School because he was a liability
5 Hole - Nola (coming on on offense) defense as good as it gets
6 Hole - Ross (Overachieving this year??) We will see. Not highly recruited in HS
7 Hole - Hanover(Could not hit before BBCOR) 5'4" 140. SEC come on now
8 Hole - Didier???? 2 starts at LSU. Been there 4 years
9 Hole - Jared Foster Barbe guy Well coached player. probably best HS coached player on team but a freshman. 3rd best player on HS team.
Now tell me why we bunt. Runs at a minimum!! take em when u can

We bunt to try to avoid the dp which we have hit into so many times in crutial situations.
Didn't work, but not a terrible idea. We have to get those down. No excuses on not getting the bunt down.

i know, but if i recall correctly, the batter also swung at the pitch. sometimes that can throw the catcher off on a ball in the dirt.

I agree we should take runs when we can get them in a situation at the end of a close game, but not in the first inning! Its kills all potential for a big inning.
I agree this is not the most talented team, but that is partially due to the fact that we recruit players who never have any intention of coming here. Also, I played with Katz. He was always a way above average player before he got to LSU. Though, I didn't expect he would be our best hitter this year.

Really? I disagree with one aspect of his coaching style, and you have to respond like that. Relax dude. I just wanted to see how other fans felt about the bunting we frequently do in the first few innings. It is an often debated subject in baseball.

You recall correctly. It was a K.

Mainieri took off his hat and really hollered at Hanover when he returned to the dugout--as if Hanover did this on his own or missed a sign.

I am pretty sure he did it on his own

Either that or he missed the sign that took off the bunt. I don't think Mainieri would have come down on him so hard otherwise.

yea but I'm gonna have to give the coach the nod
bunting with 2 strikes is bad baseball especially in the 2nd or whatev early inn it was

I agree. I am saying that coach did not call for him to bunt after strike 2. Hanover either thought the bunt was still on or he decided to bunt on his own.
