Taking my LSU hat off for this one. He missed so many calls for Skenes, Riley, and Hurd but Georgia can throw a 12-6 curveball in the dirt or at the head for a strike. He started giving us some calls back in the end but SOB man. That last strike out Crews had wasn't close to being strike.

I’m still pissed off at that call Cooper got. There’s no way that pitch missed. It wasn’t even on the edge. It caught a big chunk of the plate.

We can Monday morning quarterback all day long about CJJ decisions last night. But CJJ best decision last night was sticking with Hurd.

After about 10 pitches Hurd started to settle in and get into a rhythm. Then in the bottom of the 9th he got rocked and UGA tied it up. At this time CJJ could have panicked and pulled Hurd. His best decision was sticking with him. After that Hurd struggled a little, got out of a small jam then settled in for the victory.

I'm just really happy it worked out. That performance by Hurd has to have his confidence level much higher. It really helps from a mental perspective.

Don't think LSU will have SEC umps for a regional or super

Even though he got pulled and was ultimately a walk I loved seeing Cooper stare down the umpire. He fricked us all game. Also showed Cooper wanted it bad. Need that attitude from our bullpen.

Agreed. That was what the team needed. Maybe Hurd turns a corner and is a piece we need for a run.

There were 2 back to back strikes at the bottom of the zone last night on Crews that absolutely pissed me off. Because even though the umpire called it a strike it was not in the zone. But pitchers have been getting squeezed all year in the SEC. The fact that only 94% of balls in the strike zone are being called strikes is terrible.
