Cant win games with 4 runs in two games. However if we want to talk offensive strategy and fundamentals, have at it...

If someone else starts the 4th in game 1, we probably win I with 3 runs. So, I disagree.

We played great game 1. We really needed to take that game.

Bad break with Watson not seeing the ball in time. Bad deciisjon to not have anyone warming up in the 3rd.

There isn't any single way we could have lost and this board not blame Mainieri. Literally impossible.

We could have manufactured runs there and put pressure on them

Florida. Cause all LSU can remember is the championship from 10 years ago cause of how disappointing our teams have been since.

Agreed.

We lost this series because our players did not play their best.

We didn't hit for shite this series. I can understand that against Singer, but the guys today we blew opportunities. We did about as well as we could game 1, but played poorly today.

I don't think so either and as bad as some of the base running was in situations I don't blame that either. These kids were playing hard and trying to win. If anything they put a lot of pressure on themselves and it did not work out.

I think losing Walker was the point of no return.

I still can't understand intentionally walking the 8 hitter to load the bases, he was 0-2 with a sac bunt followed by the 9 hitter. Let Hess do his thing and challenge the batter. Did it cost LSU the game, no, but definitely took some wind out of their sails.

PM made 2 absolutely terrible decisions that cost us this game. One is pulling poche in the 6th at 98 piches. He could have easily gotten 4 more outs. Hess has never had to go that long out if the pen. The other unforgiveable is the hit and run with deichmann up a runner at 3rd and 1 out. You have to let deichmann swing away there and hope he doesnt hit into a double play, for quite a few reasons.
And im a Pm apologist

Yesterday Reynolds decision hurt. What hurt's us is CPM usually has 2 good starters and this was a good year we had 3. UF has 4-5 power starters every fricking year!!! They are pitching major.league guys against our average relievers. His pitching recruiting is crap compared to O'Sullivan

We had a ton of mistakes over 2 days. Leaving Reynolds in yesterday after the first batter in the fourth (the guy just tweaked his back right before that and he threw 4 straight balls) was a mistake. Today we had 3 errors early that killed us. Had a run taken off the board with the illegal slide. The terrible baserunning both games. Expecting hess to pitch almost 4 innings after being our 9th inning guy. I love our team. And paul is our coach and a damn good one........but you can't do all these things in a national title scenario against that kind of pitching and expect good results. They deserved to win. Hats off to them

Pretty sure even PM disagrees with you after listening to his comments after game 1

Can't help but wonder if we retain the hitting coach. The hitters did not seem to adjust from day to day!

Not only did those decisions cost us but his lineup construction did too as well as situational baseball and base running. You can't keep putting pll in bad spots and say oh just hit the ball and save us.

When you get 5 or 6 players on base in late innings (with 0 or 1 out, to boot) of a 1-run ball game - you HAVE to score runs. HAVE to. Bottom of the 8th notwithstanding, we should have been up 1 to 3 runs in the middle of the 8th - conservatively - with better offensive strategy and execution.

And we didn't. And I have to point at coaching and fundamentals.
