I really hope this is a joke.

I'm sure this is rooted entirely in fact and not emotion.

Sweet Baby Jesu!!!
That might not be the dumbest thing I have read on this site, but it's gotta be in the top ten.

At the very lest Fury should have starter the 8th--- with
Broussard ready to go. That should have been automatic.
This decision will be relived for years.

You mean people with no other life will be butt hurt over a baseball game years from now?
They will sit in their lonely dark little rooms crying and moaning over something over which they had no control?
They will sink into deep dark depression never to recover?
Life, love, happiness will be forever banished from their lives?
All that will reamin will be gloom, doom and juvenile angst?

this. Obviously the bats went to sleep at the most critical times, but there was no reason to keep McCune in that long.

And I remember CPM putting his closer in and getting the last 21 outs! What does all this mean? It means each situation is different. It means only a fool would rely on such cheap simplistic rules of thumb. Who the frick knows what Dunn and CPM knew that day that led them to try McCune? Maybe Broussard was having control problems in his last bullpen session; maybe McCune looked better than Nola in his. One things for certain, Bianco and CPM know way more about baseball, and way more about their players, than we do. They also scouted the batters that were to be faced. In short, in both cases, wiser men with buttloads more data, reached divergent decisions in different situations.

We should have just pitched Aaron Nola every pitch this season. He was obviously the best pitcher on the team, and having him in for every pitch would have made great sense. CPM needs to learn when you have a stud like Nola, you should only use him.

McCune was lucky to get out the 7th with a bunt double play.
Luck is involved in almost any double play turned, that's why the second out of the play is never assumed. You guys need to get over it, there is no guarantee LSU would have won a game in a SR, either. Oh, there is Nola, but another UF type game could have happened and he gives up two solo HRs and the Tigers bats do next to nothing. Nothing is a given in college baseball these days except a bunch of bitching.

well it is a lot damn easier when you have a 6 run lead for three of those outs...

It means the winning coach put his closer in WHEN HE HAD THE LEAD TO CLOSE!
Not sure what you mean by 21 outs...did he go 7 innings?
When you have the lead in the 8th with a struggling pitcher, you pull his sorry arse while you still have the lead and use your closer to stop any momentum. Not after you have lost the lead!
It's fricking little league knowledge, and our guy did this shite on the national stage. He pulled a starter who was throwing a shutout to put that noodle arm in!

He got his signing bonus of 3.3 mil- don't go feeling too sorry- he ain't.

Yes, Ott went seven innings.
Yeah, the same starter who is being shut down for the offseason. I wonder why? I wonder if that had anything to do with the 60 pitch count? Maybe they had to do the responsible thing and protect the kid. IDK, but I'm betting that if we knew all of the facts, CPM and Dunn would be right, and you would look foolish.

You're right. Little league coaches know more than Paul Mainieri and Alan Dunn.

No room for reality here on The Rant. That move was an embarrassment for LSU "on the national stage".

What other conclusion can we come to?
