How much of this should we hang on CPM?

Personally, I thought this team was unfocused and not prepared for the big stage. This team had it all, great pitching, good hitters from top to bottom, and great defense . To go 0-2 in Omaha, with this team, is unacceptable. Thoughts?

Bertman went 0-2 in Omaha with a team that had Todd Walker, Russ Johnson and Brett Laxton.

All of it. He's the one paid to be the leader and coach.

His refusal to bunt is nuts. The rest well baseball is weird like that.


It's obvious Les was calling the plays in Omaha lol

The team was trying o hit everything out the park and wouldn't adjust.. Not sure how much of that falls on the coaches and how much on the players. I'd say 50/50

Next to none. I can't think of much I would have done differently.

I don't think people realize how much of a crapshoot the CWS is.

If only we had come across a similar situation like losing by one run, Mason Katz on first base, in the top of the ninth with no outs, and Raph Rhymes batting. I'm certain that if that had happened before, and we had a negative outcome, then CPM would have not let Raph swing away.

maybe we could have used some bunts when we saw how hard it was going to be to just get base hits all day but we need more base stealing. That catcher from UNC was terrible at throwing out runners stealing. we did NOT take advantage of that. other then that CPM is a good coach.

What do you mean by hang? There are some great coaches that didnt even make it to the CWSthis year. PM shouldn't have to feel too bad. And I'm sure he feels bad enough on his own without your sorry arse piling on. He had the best SEC record of any LSU team..and best regular season. The bats went cold in Omaha...deal with it.

I don't know what makes people think this team was so immensely talented. Which of these guys do you expect to see in MLB? Nola, who pitched well and was a tough-luck loser, and Bregman, a freshman. Who else? This was a well-coached good group of kids that had an historically fine season. They should celebrate that without regret.

The reaction here is so different than it is for football. When the football team loses, Miles is an idiot. When the baseball team loses, the rant attacks the kids personally.

Lots of folks showing their asses in the game thread today.

Both losses were your fault because you didn't even bother to show up in Omaha.

Small ball is not in CPM vocabulary. Past and current All-Americans Rhymes and Brekman were awful at the plate. Runs are at a premium in CWS and LSU simply did not execute when needed. I've never seen so many weak pop-ups and futile at bats w runners in scoring position. Pitching was o.k. but the hitters just didn't hit. Good pitching beats good hitting almost every time. It was a disappointing end but we've seen this before. At least they made to final 8. Maybe next year..... Geaux Tigers!
