re: Florida wins the CWS. Thank you seniors!!!!

No problem. I suppose Rabbit made a good call when he nominated me as his successor 3 years ago. It's been fun.

Great season for these kids!

Felt like it at least deserved a conference before the call was upheld

Just one of those plays that you can't argue as the rule clearly states. I think if he had at least made an effort to hook the bag with his foot it would have been fine.

One other play disturbed me early in the game when we attempted to double up FL on a ground ball to Freeman with a runner on 1st.. As I recall Freeman who had an easy pitch to Kramer for the attempt at a double play. However, FL player ran to 2nd in an "arc" that prevented Freeman from making the pitch to Kramer so was forced to throw to first, thus circumventing the possible double play.

Now if the interference rule states you are on a base and a ball is hit you must go directly to the bag and if you deviate from that to break up a double play, you are auto-out. Yet by "intent" on the same play a runner can "intentially" take a path in an arc to shield the 2nd baseman from throwing to 2nd to initiate the double play. I thought the rule says you have to run directly on a line from 1st to 2nd???

The FL runner did this intentionally to shield Freeman's throw to Kramer...maybe smart base running, but just as egregious rule infraction.

IMHO

Both are against the rules and one was called and the other was not. Just a shame really. LSU made a lot of mistakes but.. hell of a season and it was a fun ride

Thanks

Dang man this sucks, the last two National Championships I've been to as an LSU fan we've gotten our arse beat...21-0 and now 0-2...dang it man

GREAT season! Can't complain when you are in the final two playing for a natty championship. Best of luck to the players moving on, and to those returning...
Come to work, come to win in 2018! Plenty of GOOD, young talent on this roster that needs to bulk up and continue to improve their games. With the addition of a few new arms and bats, we'll be back soon...very soon!

2017 LSU Tigers thank you for some great memories. This Tiger fan is even more proud to be one this morning because of you young men!
Good Luck to the Tigers leaving, and for the ones staying, Come next year kick some Gator arse! One thing about coming so close is that all of you will be hunger as hell come next year! Thank you

Outstanding season Tigers!!!

Thanks for the PBP this year Cheer!
