re: Why was Beau Jorden pulled?

How many times must I say that I was happily wrong? Have all of you apologized to Mainieri and Lange and Chinea and Robertson and Foster and Moore and Sciambra when y'all talked shite about them for years? Y'all are acting like he was Todd walker when I made the comment. He wasn't, also Mainieri didn't put him in to hit, he put him in because his first option of replacement failed miserably so he was left with little choice. But hitting .050 in 20 ABs is not hitting worth a crap! For the final time, I was wrong, my comments were not unprecedented at the time that they were made, I'm extremely glad that Brennan had a good game. His speed and arm in the OF are an asset if he begins to hit, which seems like it is in the process of happening. I'm not vindictive like most of you, I won't go dig up ridiculous things you've said to prove a point, because something said in the past that held true, OF COURSE IT WONT IN THE FUTURE. Stuff changes, I'm happy for Breaux, I'm happy the Tigers won, get off my shite.

You're the one making a big deal out of it this point. As someone who's too outspoken myself, you gotta learn to take the good with the bad. I was way wrong about Chinea. Way right about KRob. No one's going to give me props for Kramer but they sure as hell won't let me forget Chi. You gotta realize that can happen the moment you hit submit.

They've had multiple confrontations with him this year. This was just the first one caught on film.

You mean the coach who put in Wofford first who went 0-3 with 3 Ks and dropped a popup? It works both ways, Mickey.

You don't see every practice. You don't sit in on team meetings. You don't know what goes on in the locker room. I never said every decision a coach makes is 100% correct. The point is, the coach is making a MUCH MORE informed decision than any fan is.

holy shite! ole ell is human. i'm actually starting to like you man. I feel I misjudged you and it is I that also should admit the err of my way.

What I do? What do I do? I've had very little problem with PM lately (even through 2 series losses) other than the Deichmann comment and the only thing I disagree with is too many hit and runs (nothing new) and I think Bryce should be at 1B instead of Deichmann. When I disagree with him though, it's not out of spite or hate. I back it up as best I can. And I even defend him at times. I've liked the pitching moves lately. He's doing what he has to do. The lineup is pretty much set. Gotta give him and Canni credit for finding a good group although I have no idea why it took so long for Romero's spot to be set in stone.

Again, I get that I'm outspoken and what comes with that. But I'm not simply a negative arse who hates PM. I'm a negative arse who enjoys watching LSU win and coming here to vent/rant regardless.

You gray and Russian don't count tho.

What do you have to know about a team to know that you bunt in the 11th inning of a tied game with runners on first and second instead of pinch hitting a freshman without a hit in his career and letting him swing away?

Pinch hitters that people scratch their head at deliver all the time. Probably had something to do with the ability of the man up to be able to get down the bunt or how great the pinch hitter had looked as of late in practice.

1) There were players on the bench who could bunt. Who had bunted before.

2) PM said the player had never bunted in his life before. Which is NOT true and offended said player.

It was a bad call and the wrong call. That's my only point. All coaches make them. PM is no different. He's even admitted to a couple. Like two years ago vs Tennessee when he was subbing out a bunch and missed that he had Moore catching and Sciv at 1B. Error by Sciv cost the game. He said they should have been switched. Something lots of people caught but he didn't. There are more, but he doesn't admit to mistakes often.
