re: Mainieri quotes on Fontenot are brutal: "he cost us the game"

Pm answers the questions in the post game pressers honestly. Thats what he felt costed us and its hard to argue with. Me personally I would deflect blame from my college kid players, butI do not have a problem with him saying what he feels is honest.

Sounds like he’s telling the truth. Kid had a rough inning, it ended up costing LSU the game. Lord you people are soft with this “Paul throwing people under the bus”.

It would not have come down to this IF....we didn't have so many errors and such poor third base coaching... base running errors....SMITH could have easily scored....that cost us the game....

If he had put Hess back out there, the same fans would be calling for CPM to be fired because he’s trying to destroy this kid’s arm. It’s a lose-lose for CPM; no matter what he does, certain posters here will claim he should be fired for not doing the opposite.

If Pawl could coach half as adeptly as he throws his players under the bus, he’d have put more trophies in the case than he has. He’s had a CDL since he started. It’s never his fault, or his coaches fault, always those damn players keep messing up his enjoyment of the games.

Starting has given him more stamina

Stamina doesn’t have much to do with recovery time from pitching 55 pitches two day prior.

If the argument is Hess was throwing 4 innings and was at 55 pitches and they chose to put Fontenot in for 1 inning instead of pitching Hess a 5th then stamina would come into play.

You are asking Hess to warm up a fatigued arm. That is exactly how you get major injuries. People are already blaming CPM for injuries to pitchers when he gives them 6 days rest between outings.

Hess was much more likely to put up a zero.

That is one of the most dishonest assertions.
Have you watched any LSU baseball games this season?

Did you actually read what he said or just the title of this thread?
