re: LSU Baseball's pitching decision from Friday Night: Someone explain them to me..

I thought Mainieri made a pretty ingenious move in the 8th inning of a tied game by pinch hitting for one of your hottest hitters just because the other team brought in a lefty. Let's overlook the fact that the previously discussed hot hitter hasn't been retired by a lefty pitcher all season long. We bring in the righty, to which UK counters by changing pitchers to a right hander. It was super genius for Paul Mainieri then to waste that pinch hitter and replace him with a true freshman with 2 career bat attempts. This same true freshman later bats in a key spot in the game, but Mainieri has no idea if the kid can bunt or not, because he's only had two at bats in his entire LSU career.

Great move!!!
