I agree... He didn't change the outcome of the game but I hope he never comes back to Omaha

Yeah he didn't cost lsu the game but he greatly changed our approach. A lot of north carolina first pitch strikes weren't even near the zone. Look at moore's at bat. 2 runners on First pitch change up low out the zone about 6 inches off the plate gets called strike one. Pitcher hits same spot next two pitches and moore is forced to go after them because of the first call. North carolina pitchers had that security blanket the whole game.
