Damn good post.

No doubt about it although I don't think it will be as hard to replace folks like rhymes and eades as some folks think. Now relief pitchers are a whole other story.
I think Foster and Moore can become strengths next year..... Hell foster sh...

Most people don't want to talk about how well they hit....they especially don't miss mistake pitches.
One thing is for sure we don't want a shoot out with UNC....
re: CWS G9: #3 Oregon St vs Indiana 7PM CT - Elimination Game I TV: ESPN - LSU316 on 6/18/13 at 7:32 am[quote]Any other park in the country and Indiana wins 6-5. IU's 2 and 3 hole hitter absolutely pissed on two balls in the bottom of the ninth that in college in my own opinion should be homeruns. Cow poo state can thank the NCAA for dead bats, balls and a big arse park.[/quote]

re: Coach Mainieri's comments after the game - LSU316 on 6/17/13 at 3:58 pmWe have a lot of geniuses in here and we know all of your opinions....I'd love to know what big league coaches would have done in the same situation in the World Series....It is my opinion that the list of hitters all time that would get the swing away sign is real short compared to the list of guys...
re: Coach Mainieri's comments after the game - LSU316 on 6/17/13 at 1:51 pm[quote]He was looking to get a runner to third and a big inning.[/quote]
Based on the progession of the game and how we had done up until that point I'm not sure that was the right strategy....although like I said earlier hindsight is always 20/20...
re: Coach Mainieri's comments after the game - LSU316 on 6/17/13 at 1:50 pm[quote]Not agreeing or disagreeing with the decision, but at 2-0 after showing bunt twice he knew the next pitch was going to be the best pitch for Rhymes to handle and possibly the best one all inning.
At 2-1 after taking a strike he probably puts the bunt back on.[/quote]
Meh....its all spe...

Somone earlier alluded to the fact that is was a good pitch on the outer edge tailing away from Rhymes which is what I thought I saw.

re: Coach Mainieri's comments after the game - LSU316 on 6/17/13 at 1:42 pmI think regardless of whether you think the H&R was good or he should have bunted...he should have taken another pitch there. It seemed like that old boy on the mound was rattled when Katz got the hit. It looked like he expected to come in and mow us down. Katz gets a hit and Rhymes comes to plat...

I'm not a huge NFL fan but yes I go to a lot of Saints games and usually go watch the games with friends....I don't hang on the Saints like I do the Stros and LSU (and to a little lesser extent the Lakers).

re: Big difference between the two teams last night: Omaha experience - LSU316 on 6/17/13 at 10:55 am[quote]Love all the people that think our hitters were just "swinging for the fences".[/quote]
So you are happy with our approach last night?....If you are coaching them up you tell them not to change a thing?
:dunno:...
re: Small ball baseball=four corners basketball - LSU316 on 6/17/13 at 10:39 am[quote]I could be wrong, but it seemed to me the ump actually had a low strike zone whenever he was actually forced to call balls and strikes.
Our hitters just didnt give him that chance very often.

That is exactly the same thing I saw.....I'd bet that a lot of his pitches that were...

People around here are masochists I reckon....they didn't get enough anemic offense last night against an ace that isn't even close to Rodon's league :lol:...
re: UNC hasn't lost back to back games all season. - LSU316 on 6/17/13 at 8:34 am[quote]who is starting for LSU? Eades or Glenn?

I think only Maineri and Dunn know that at this point....but I'd assume it will be Glenn with the hefty slate of left handed hitters that UNC with throw out there.

Some of those pitches had to start at damn near eye level.....we weren't patient at the plate last night...although that shouldn't really shock anyone....

I think Plutko and more importantly our impatience with him took that advantage away from us....
re: Small ball baseball=four corners basketball - LSU316 on 6/17/13 at 8:15 am[quote]The pitch looks good to a hitter because hitters like high pitches and are taught to jump on high mistakes.[/quote]
