I know he’s been beaten up and gives it his all, but between the dropped throw at the plate and swinging at high pitches while the runners were stealing he probably cost us 3 runs and the win:

- he tags out the guy at home: 3-1 UGA
- realizes he’s not a hitter and lets the runners steal/earn the walk: Morgan comes up with bases loaded and one out: at least 3-2 UGA if not 3-3

So maybe it was a hit and run?

The damn horrible coaching of Paul and Dunn has done this team in. You mean to tell me LSU can not find a catcher who is a good defensive catcher and hit at least .250? It’s due to these two sitting in their arse and not recruiting. Time to turn the page before the Tiger lore is completely gone.

Ok but with Travinski hurt he is literally the only option back there so you can’t really do anything about it.

Poor guy basically has three balls in his cup, left ball, right ball, and bounced baseball.

What about the two batters that struck out in the eighth inning with the bases loaded. The pitcher throws 87% fastballs. You know a fastball is coming. Put the freaking bat on the ball.

Blaming one person for a loss ignores consequences for each action in an event. You cannot lay out a timeline in the present for each action, because each has a different set of consequences that follow. There are sets of algorithmic patterns that can (and do occur) in a all things. If you say that a person should or shouldn't have done this or that--and it occurred--ignores a completely different set of circumstances that could occur afterwards. For example, had the double-steal worked, how do we know that the next pitch been hit to the pitcher, and the last out been made some other way? Or possibly-the next pitch hammered for a single and runners scored? What if the score had been tied and one of the Georgia batters hit a solo homer? Or if Marceaux had arm trouble and left the game? We cannot lay down a timeline and pick things out and say a player cost us a game (unless perhaps a thrown shoe was an integral factor), but the game progresses on a series of algorithms of which we don't have wisdom to fathom.

I don't like the outcome of the game, but I am not going to try to relive something that is dead in the past. As we expect ourselves to be treated, we need to treat others.

I don't know what our hitters are taught, but I do know from observation, that our hitters are not even close to the top teams in plate discipline. The top teams swing at strikes, and swing at their pitch to drive unless protecting on 2 strike counts. This has been a PM characteristic for as long as he has been at LSU. Great hitters cover for his lack of coaching, but when not as gifted players are in the lineup, they are on their own, without any discipline coaching at all. But, that is just one of many 'lazy' coaching characteristics of PM.
