Was out 6 weeks with injury. Let hin get going before you can call him a bust
I don't think anyone is calling him a bust. You can find my posts from preseason stating that I was hoping he would win the starting 3B spot. It's unfortunate that he got injured, but that is part of the equation here. Due to his injury, he hasn't had but a couple of at bats all season. i don't feel that tied SEC games is the time to try out freshman players.

No one is calling him a bust.

I trust a 2 time National Coach of The Year at two different schools to do the job and he is and will always be the man for LSU. /thread

I trusted him to do the job against Stony Brook.
And Houston.
And Houston.

This was not a runner at 2B only. We had runners at first and second, the double play was a possibility. You bunt to move the winning run to 3B, where most contact can score the run, AND to stay out of the double play. Are you saying that Paul Mainieri was sleeping in the dugout during 2013 and doesn't remember the 17 double plays that a .370 career hitter Raph Rhymes hit into? Deichman doesn't even have one single college hit. Not one. He had two previous college at bats before the 8th inning of that game. GT23 is right, CPM wanted to tell everyone how he had a feeling that Deichman was going to get his first career hit in walkoff fashion on a SEC Friday night.

He's wrong about one thing: good decisions are not necessarily the ones that work. That may seem insane but it's true. When you make a decision you don't know if it will work or not. You make the best guess based on the information you have at the time. Sometimes your decision will work, sometimes it won't but you don't judge the decision based on the outcome. You base it on what data are known and what will give you the best chance for a good outcome. Sometimes a good decision doesn't work out. Sometimes a bad decision does but it's still a bad decision.
And that
PM wanted to say : " SEE THERE YOU BITCHES!"
He will do it again next game to prove he was right
But it still wouldn't be the right decision.

Sure he does, but his record speaks for itself. Every coach struggles every now and then.

I don't care if it was Joe McCarthy in the LSU dugout making those decision... they were mistakes. So point noted, but not really part of the topic.

he is and will always be the man for LSU.

He'll always be in Skip's shadow. Maybe that's what he meant.

That was Smoke.

They were a better hitting squad, and perhaps better defensively, but we had a better pitching staff. Their pitching staff was thin and we hacked at first pitches all weeekend long. That Stony Brook staff got lit up in Omaha.

Every coach from here till the end of time will be in Skip's shadow.

You're right. That was a low blow.

Everybody needs to calm down.
Mainieri fricked up, time to move forward.

yep

it was a pretty good staff, but nothing amazing. Ryan Eades was not good, at all. Our staff was very thin.
I actually think 2012 was one of PM's best coaching jobs looking back.

If you would have seen Skip "face palm" at the decision ?
