re: It’s been a month and I still wake up pondering how Wehriwa(sp?) went to third

No disrepect, but the Hog SS did not have to go to his right to field that ball hit by Milam. It was a tailor-made double play ball hit right at him. Watch the replay.

Hell the third baseman had a shot a the double play but he just nailed his foot on third and strutted off like he just won the whole thing

THIS it as if they knew something bad was about to happen so they played scared and tight.

So did CC at the end of game 1. You knew it was over then. They couldn’t believe they lost a game after their win streak. They got punched in the mouth and didn’t know how to respond.
Which I think is why the pitcher and coaches were so on edge in game 2. Their emotions were high, so they were arguing. I also suspect they were running their mouth a lot through the entire series, and especially game 1, which resulted in the short leash in game 2 when the coaches were ejected.

R Kansas can cry about it all they want.
They seem to forget they would have had to beat the Tigers again had they not imploded and won that game. They were not going to be able to beat us again.

The moment was too big for them.

I think baseman was shocked that the ball came to him.

"LSU put the ball in play......" As Bear put it post game, "this is just LSU baseball". Kyle Peterson put it in a similar way: " LSU is just different".

Stage was too big for Arky. When you know you have a history blowing it on the big stage, it can stick in your head and guarantee it happens again.
Arky is mentally weak.

It didn’t ricochet off his head. It was his shoulder.

Definitely not a choke.
He shite that game away as much as his team did. He deserves exactly what he got after all the bush league shite he has done during his career including being regarded as a-hole by many umpires.

The runner made that play happen. Ran 3/4 speed to be visually right in front of the SS. His slide didn’t even make it to 3rd base. Was ‘heads up’ base-running.

The pressure had him in overdrive and he thought things were happening faster than they were.. He popped up and took the lead runner, rather than the double play…. Probably assumed he was late on the double play.
This is exactly what happened. Everything sped up and he just wanted to get an out. He did not expect the LF falling.

He probably assumed that since he had to go to his right that making a good feed to 2nd would have been difficult and he probably didn't want to throw it into right field.
bottom line is he made a very poor decision and should have gone for the double play.
the double play is practiced by little league kids at a very early age.
it should have been an easy out the moment the ball came off the bat.
the out at 3rd base was inconsequential and everybody knew it immediately. but no one thought Arkansas would loose the game like that.

He wasn’t the only one on that team that choked. The LF choked.
Sure, I agree that the shortstop made a mental error and if he had turned an easy double play it would have won the game, but it is an unjustified, brutal and undeserved criticism to say that the left fielder "choked". I feel a bit sorry for the young man, who gave his all for the entire season only to be derided for his final moment.
It is easy for the few of us who actually played baseball at a high level to tell which of the Rant posters have not. You clearly have never had a 3 inch diameter object smashed in a line drive over 100 miles per hour almost directly at you under the lights in a night game. Even in daylight it is the most challenging play for an outfielder to immediately judge, because of the extra carry that a baseball will get due to the aerodynamics provided by backspin. Players have only a mere fraction of a second to employ their years of experience and trained senses, the look of the swing and the angle of the ball off the bat, and to see a little white ball against a background of fans, stadium lights and black sky. Watching professional MLB players and accomplished college players make very challenging athletic feats look somewhat routine gives casual fans an unwarranted presumption that it is actually easy. Yes, the left fielder made what in baseball is scored as an "error". In the situation of the last inning with a lead, he absolutely had to first guard against a ball being hit over his head. Errors happen because the game is not easy, and I would think that almost every player on both teams made a few during the season. Heck, I even made one or two.

Holy crap that’s a lot of feelings.
He slipped. I think it was probably related to the pressure of the moment.
After slipping he had to decide whether he should still try and make the play. Obviously he made the wrong decision. You don’t give up the lead on a 50/50 ball in that situation. He could have played it safe and still had the lead. He panicked. I think that was pressure related.
He managed to deflect the ball a LONG way away from the play. Same issue. Even after the bad decision at some point it should have been clear to him that he wasn’t making the play and ultimately he could have tried everything to keep it in front of him. He never did that. He panicked and managed to send the ball so far away that the tying run scored. I think that was pressure related.
It doesn’t matter if you feel sorry for the guy. Hell, I feel sorry for him. That doesn’t change reality.
Don’t be such a pussy.

The exact opposite happened to Davalan. The ball Hernandez hit dropped dramatically at a high rate because it had topspin.
