it is baseball........LSU knew the park is huge-the bats are less hot-pitcher was throwing up in the zone. they should be able to play the style that the conditions dictate .......

No one is saying go "completely" to small ball..but at least utilize it when the time calls for it. For instance, when we're down one in the bottom of the 9th, man on first, 0 outs. The call is incredibly simply: Bunt. Move him over. That's not a spot to gamble. You've had all game to gamble.

Or how about when Ibarra absolutely DESTROYS the baseball in two different at bats which end in fly outs at the warning track. The announcers even said that those balls would be gone in every other college ball park. Coach had to see that and realize "small ball" needs to at least be implemented when it's called for...that's all people are saying.

I haven't watched a CWS game in the past two years. I hate that west coast small ball crap. Sure, it is a way to win in that big ball park with good pitching, but it makes for lousy baseball. Score two unearned runs and you win the game? I watched last night hoping we could put some balls in the gaps, but we could get one to find a seam. Just painful. With the dead bats and the big ball park, it just makes it a dull game. Love my Tigers, and I'll watch until the point they are done (hopefully they go all the way), but in the event we don't, I'll turn off the TV till football season. Bunt fests are no fun...
