You take 5 runs in game 1 any day

Can’t get a sweep without winning the first one. Win is a win. Good job.

Because you assclowns don’t get that some people can bunt for hits. You know what’s a low percentage play? Hoping your 8 hole hitter swings and gets a base hit against the LSU closer. What’s the batting avg against Gervase, below .200? Bunting for a hit gives Mizzou just as good of a chance to get on base as standing in there and swinging does.
We just haven’t had anyone in a while that could bunt for a hit.

Beth Mowins makes me want to rip my freakin' eardrums out of my head so I never have to risk hearing her voice again! I'd rather hear fingernails down a chalkboard.

so out of the options of trying to get a base hit, drawing a walk, or bunting, what do you think is the lowest percentage play of getting on base? That's a rhetorical question

How many bunt singles do you think their 8-hole hitter has in his career? Greater than or less than 1?
Sorry, I guess it's only fair game to call out our poor coaching decisions. My apologies, I won't do it again

Opponents are batting .132 against Gervase (less than that after tonight).
Bunting for a hit is a smart play to at least force LSU to make a play defensively.

Plus he's 6"10... Got to be harder for him to make the scoop and throw the first right?

Why would you think this? Have you never seen good bunters?

Trying to get a base hit was the worst option. Gervase is allowing a less than .132 average.

And I call out your bad take.

Missouri has 6 sac bunts on the entire team this season, but yeah totally bad take. They're probably really good at bunting, they just never do it until they're behind in the 9th inning needing base runners

What makes you think their 8 hole hitter is a good bunter? Do you have some data to back that up?

You think trying to bunt for a hit to bring up the tying run is a lower percentage play than standing in there against Gervase tonight and getting one swinging? At least with the bunt he put the ball in play and made the worst defense in the SEC make a play. If he’d had stayed in there and swung, there percentages seem pretty high to me he’d have gotten mowed down like the rest of them.

I’m sure I have over reacted to this discussion, and for that I apologize.
But I get tired of reading comments in the game threads griping anytime LSU bunts at all. Sometimes a bunt can be a good percentage play. And that includes trying to bunt for a hit.

How many ABs did he have against a well rested 6’ 10” Paul Gervase fired up throwing gasoline right by everyone who got in the box? He had little chance of getting on either way, but with the way PG was throwing and our defense, bunting was just as good a call as any.

you're good
We can agree to disagree on whether it was the right call. I initially only said it was a bold move, which I think you'd have to agree it was regardless of whether we agree on the call. Bold simply means Missouri was taking a calculated risk, which they were. They were hoping to place a perfect bunt and catch the LSU defense flat footed with a hurt and hobbled Morgan and 6'10" pitcher. My stance is a right handed batter trying to lay down a perfect bunt for a team that doesn't bunt a lot wasn't the right call in the 9th inning with 1 out needing 2 runs to tie the game. And, as an aside, I'm generally not a huge fan of bunting in most circumstances as a general rule. I think bunting certainly has a place but, to me, that place is very limited. It's ok if we disagree, but that doesn't mean one of us doesn't understand how baseball works if we don't agree. Fair?

All good.
I was just tired and cranky by the end of the game. This team has me messed up mentally.
