CPM made some really bad mistakes. Nobody is saying he isnt a good coach. But the choices were easy to make and he didnt make them. We lost.. Its over. Im sure CPM regrets it too.
I disagree.
Baseball is a game where it is soooooo easy to criticize in hindsight.
Pointing out something that didn't work out does not equate to a coaching error. Many baseball plays are percentage plays where there is a pretty damn good chance that it's not going to work out.
If your best example of Mainieri's coaching mistake was not bunting Gibbs with 2 on and no out then I think you are reaching and using hindsight to justify it.
It was very, very far from a bad decision. It just didn't work out.

PM is a good coach and we should all be thankful he is here at LSU, but

I honestly do not believe there is a single MLB manager that makes the same call as CPM.
It was a mistake and a stupid one. The percentage play is get the runners over and work for the 1 run. Swing away is by far the worst decision.. After a bunt the DP is out as well.
