re: Game 1: Texas A&M 2, LSU 1 - Final

can you imagine the feeling if your LIFE depended on Katz being able to get a base hit in a clutch moment? you may as well just kill yourself instead of putting yourself through the torture of watching him attempt to swing the bat.

This won't be well received

Because it's not actually correct. You're overreacting.

Christ. All I was saying is they were conceding the Friday game and playing for the rubber match.

Except they aren't, they're just using their normal rotation.

I'm so sorry Aggie fans.

I'm sorry you had to deal with it, even if only for a game.

No. You play YOUR game. This isn't the regionals. A&M is going to throw their #1, then their #2, then their #3. Just like most every SEC team. You do not adjust your weekend rotation each week determinative of the other team's rotation. Like I said, you play YOUR team. We are the exception to the rule throwing our #3 first - which I have no problem with.

So stop saying they are conceding the rest of the weekend by throwing their #1 today.

I...

Never mind. Good lord.

Someone please teach Laird and Stevenson how to swing a bat for tomorrow. Does Bregman give lessons?

Are the not immune to changes like LSU?
