Why are our bats the worst in game 3 every weekend
Posted on 5/13/24 at 7:23 pm
Posted on 5/13/24 at 7:23 pm
Xavier - 1 run (least of the weekend)
State - 5 runs
Florida - 2 runs (least of the weekend)
Arkansas - 5 runs (most of the weekend)
Vandy -3 runs (least of the weekend)
Tennessee - 4 runs (most of the weekend)
Missouri - 6 runs (least of the weekend)
Auburn- 5 runs
Texas A&M - 4 runs (least of the weekend)
Bama - 3 runs ( least of the weekend)
Lost by 10 runs in game 3 in four of those series
There’s something to be said about the staff throwing up doublet digit runs in 4/9 game 3s, but the bats consistently go cold against potentially the worst pitcher.
So what happens to the tigers when they lay their head down to rest after game 2?

Jay gives them 8 pages of data from two previous games for homework

I don’t know about that but if so I hope he’s not waiting to give game three pitching data until Saturday night. Because the tigers have looked well prepared in games 1 & 2 the last month to ultimately go full retard in the final

I look at more as this team averages no more than 5 runs a game no matter the day.

It’s not just game 3’s. LSU ranks 13 out of 14 in total runs scored in SEC play. They just aren’t a great offensive team.

Miss st, florida, vandy, auburn, and bama threw their best arms in game 3, arkansas and tennessee threw quality arms in game 3, but i have no good reason for missouri and texas am. I noticed this issue too.i think it was mostly a sign of this team struggling against quality armsand lsu spending more time scouting opponents more upfront in games 1 and 2, and the players losing a little focus by game 3

Their arms and shoulders are tired from swinging so hard Fri and Sat.

Exactly and to further the point. It’s the pitching that falls off on Sunday which highlights the offensive struggles

The hitting falls off too in game 3’s, thats the discussion

I hope it’s not paralysis by analysis. Jay does seem to over coach some times.
The boys seemed to just play ball when they got to the losers bracket in Omaha and there was less time to prepare. Totally different team though.
Our young emotional players last year are the leaders this year and it shows a bit.

Right.
5.1 per over 27 SEC games (139 runs), but game 3s stand out:
Game 1: 57 runs (6.3 per)
Game 2: 45 runs (5.0 per
Game 3: 37 runs (4.1 per)
Over 2 runs less per game in game 3s (from game 1s) is puzzling. Especially considering the pitching faced in game 1 vs game 3

This team only gets so many runs a game. The game has changed in the fact that it used to be a steady increase of runs as the weekend goes on because of weaker pitching. But Alabama threw their most talented guys on Sunday. Pitching staffs are way more deeper now.

We faced better starting pitchers in game 3’s, i promise

This is not a huge drop off. The only reason everyone is looking so close at it is because we are losing every Sunday. Which is because of the pitching. Ironically the pitching did well this Sunday

It’s not a huge drop obviously as we’re not scoring much anyways, but given the traditional game 3 narrative, it’s unexpected and more surprising than the pitching dropoff on Sundays, imo

Start Anderson game 2 with Hurd in relief then if Ole Miss plans on saving game 3 for the best guys
Posted on 5/13/24 at 8:45 pm to lsutiger2
Looks like the runs decrease the same as the weekend progresses. Could be signs of other teams adjusting better than we are capable of handling.

I mean that's just not true at all

Maybe not from a statistical standpoint but from a talent standpoint. Hess is a projected first rounder.
