I bet that's the first time you've typed that.

Everything you say is invalid/worthless after you saying our bullpen is too young.

I said youth at the position. Perhaps I should have clarified but I was referring to new pitchers in their first year at LSU. We lost 8 pitchers from last year. I don't see how you can go after Dunn for a bunch of new guys that he hasn't had a great deal of time working with.

I'll call him out on how shitty our bullpen has been.... so there.

Your desire to blame someone in every situation is sad and probably makes you a pretty unhappy person. Sometimes things just don't work out. For all you know, Dunn has done everything possible to improve our bullpen. Just a few weeks ago, our bullpen was the strongest part of our team in fact. So it seems a little too quick and emotional/irrational to attack Dunn at this point.

If the runner doesn't go, which he didn't, then he is definitely going to be off on the pitch in a 3-2 count. That means you have just taken yourself out of the DP and a ball in the gap or down the line for sure scores the run. You want to avoid going 3-2 at all costs there

Exactly. Anyone that doesn't understand this is an idiot. It was stupid.

Do you understand the concept of risk/reward? Throwing back to back pitchouts has worked several times this year. The reward there is obviously getting the game winning base runner out. The risk is getting a full count to your pitcher. At that point, you have to have faith in your pitcher to throw strikes. McCune is not the best pitcher in the world but he doesn't typically have control problems.

It's not just about going 3-2 because you may walk him. Sure, that's part of it, but the other problem is 3-2 puts the runner in motion taking away the double play and allowing a ball in the gap or down the lines to win the game. I was fine with the call at 1-2, but after that, go get your batter. If he steals he steals and it's just as if the batter had sac bunted him over. Assuming you can get the batter out, A&M still needs to come up with a hit to win the game.

I guess Dunn is the reason for the shotty base running too right? Who steals a guy that has been sitting on the bench all game when the guy who hit the earlier homerun for you is up to bat? This team is as badly coached as Tulane!
