The only beef I have with the coaching staff this game is pinch running Didier. In that part of the game you put in the fastest runner period. You can still pull the pinch runner to put Didier in the field if need be.

you just heard hawthorne say it was a perfect throw which clearly means it may not have been

fury should have been running, period

You know he plays a major role in another sport right?

Regardless of the throw, if a faster runner was in he would have been safe. I'm not knocking Didier, just the fact that the coaches should have had fury or someone else running.

I do know that, but thought he still would have been there today. Scrimmage was yesterday. Are they not allowing him to travel during spring practices?

First, perfect throw doesn't get a fast runner at the plate and game is tied.

Second, CPM is slowly having a poor coaching season. Not sure if he is over-coaching with the bat changes or what, but he's on a serious losing streak with all his coaching decisions(in-game and out-of-game).

ware likely wont have a role until spring football is done

and when he comes back, he probably wont do shite anyway.

Even without a role, isn't difficult to be a pinch-runner

I still have faith in Coach M but this really is one of the worst coaching decisions I have seen. There is no angle I can see that explains it.

didier is his favorite pinch runner when ware isnt there. He must be a good baserunner. Sometimes its not all about speed

Ware is in Baton Rouge with the football team. How much do you follow LSU sports not to know that?

Do we know how fast Didier is ? Do we know is Fury is healthy? LSU just isn't playing or coaching very well right now. Need something to change, even if it's something small. We're not that far off.

I guess your right but scoring from second is mainly about speed.
