The difference in the teams was LSU not laying off high pitches and trying to Gorilla Ball in an anti GB park. If this was at the Box, LSU rolls like 7-2. But Plutko knew LSU hitters are undisciplined for the most part. Always hitting for the fences.

I agree we swung at a ton of bad pitches last night, but I disagree about swinging for the fences. Look, we only had 47 HRs this year. We didn't win 57 games by swinging for the fences and hitting HRs. We had a good batting average, pitched very well, and played solid defense.

We simply didn't make adjustments at the plate last night. And of course the 2 errors killed us.

Even with the popups and crushed pulls straight to the left fielder? They knew the field was huge and the bats and balls were crap, but they acted like they were good enough to impose their will on that ballpark, and they got their asses burned. Laird was the only guy out there trying to get on base
