Major major mental funk

Several years ago Chuck Knoblack (sp?) played 2nd base for the Yankees. He went through a period where he couldn’t throw to 2nd. It was a major mental funk for him.
I think that’s a big part of what LSU is going through. They went pre-season good although schedule was weak. And beginning of conference schedule has been tough. But, they are in a major mental funk. And when you are in that you start pressing. Just my 2 cents

And we definitely have some guys that are fighting it right now. I don't think we full out have the yips though.
He had the yips.

started the yips in 2000, was eventually benched or played DH the rest of that season, moved to LF in 2001, released after the season, signed by Kansas City, barely played and played LF when he did, was released after the season and never played again. So he went from the starting second baseman and 4x all-star player in 2000 to out of the majors by 2002. Only other thing I can think of that was similar was Rick Ankiel pitching.

Knoblauch played until he was 34 and had a 12 season MLB career. Let's not act like it was some kind of sob story. Plus he was a juicer.

Also got busted for domestic violence.
Fans joked that his wife should have stood next to first base because he wouldn't have been able to hit her.

One of my son’s high school senior season featured a catcher who no longer could throw from home to 2nd base nor 3rd base without bouncing it several times somehow and off line. He was also good for a handful of crap throws back to the pitcher. He often had to take 3 steps or more toward the pitcher and then the pitcher had to take several steps towards him. It was nuts and he finally had to be spelled by the backup after the other teams noted this peculiarity.

I remember in the 90's there was a catcher for the Indians who couldn't throw the ball back to the pitcher. He ended up correcting it by reciting articles from a nude magazine out loud right before he threw the ball.

while LSU has laid some eggs on Sundays, a lot of the Fri\Sat games are right there.......I think the youth on this team has "learned how to lose" those games for now..........hoping they learn how to start winning those games and make the turn.

Knoblauch was on that 1989 best team ever A&M squad that LSU bounced in their Regional.

Knoblack's throwing problem was to first base. He played the second base position.
