Yep, those 3 runs total that we have scored in our last 3 losses should have been enough for us to win all three games by a 1-0 score.

at this point either Foster or Moore would make the gallery happy so

Pardon me, our last 2 of 3 loses.

Game 2 vs Carolina we lost 4-2
Game 3 vs Carolina we lost 4-0
Game 1 vs A&M we lost 2-1


Score some runs!!!

That first scar loss contained horrible defense. 2 errors that led to 2 or 3 unearned runs and 2 more misplays in the outfield that were not ruled errors. Last night we had two errors in the 7th costing us an unearned run. No shite we need to hit better, but all I said was that our defense has cost us in our last few games; of course we need more hits too but better defense obviously helps us in those close games. Dang you're contentious.

thought provoking that's for sure

LSU hasn't lost a single game "because of defense" this year. Have we made some errors in the games that we lost, sure, but let's look at the numbers...

BYU 9-4
MSU 10-2
Ark 8-3
Bama 4-3 (10)
USC 4-2
USC 4-0
A&M 2-1


15 runs in 7 losses. That's an average of barely more than 2 runs a game. Add in that only two of those losses are against the other team's ace pitcher. Asking the pitching staff and defense to hold opponents to 1 run or less in a game, is asking too much. It's obvious that in LSU's losses this year, scoring runs has been the key issue.

Jesus Christ. You're really trying hard on 1 part of a comment that I said that our defense has cost us in the past couple games! Not the whole fricking season like you just brought up. You're just being contentious like I said.

I'm not talking about all the loses, and yes, not shite, once again, we have to score more runs, but in a pitching duel, as 2 of the last 3 loses have been, we need to play better defense and therefore I thought foster was a liability, which was my fricking original point.

So in the 7 losses we have had we had trouble scoring runs, but the other 43 wins we didnt have an issue. Gotcha.

You sound like someone I work with. I wonder if that's who you are. You are nit picking every fricking thing.

I'll take being 43-7 and not having issues scoring runs in 43 of our wins. Lord help us that our team has a few off games.

Yes, yes he is.

Can you imagine the anarchy we would have on our hands here if we were 39-11 (16-9)? I don't know how the team and coaches could live with themselves.
