and Benge is correct, but I think he was referring to the bloop look what I found single on a perfect pitch. Benge is waaaaay better than Rizy ever thought of being

I agree, and JJ brings in Rizzy who on any given pitch has no idea where the ball is going. How someone actually thinks he is a pitcher is actually bizarre.
Has LSU won a friday night game this year?
not what I saw. Maybe it is thou that is confused.
Over and under on how many hitters Lochenwhatever faces before he hits a batter?
I don't know what you are talking about. That two run single was a basic ground ball directly where a 2nd baseman would be playing without the lousy shift. That shift cost LSU two runs and probably the ball game.

Nope, that is bad baseball.
2nd baseman should be playing. That out of position just cost LSU two runs and most likely the ball game. I am really tired of watching this happen every freakin game. Play baseball like it has been played for decades....successfully.
we are going to to continue to not score many runs. I wish there was an easy fix for that problem.

Sam was much closer to winning than most realize. Two points to make.....I didn't see all of his tee shots because CBS didn't show him the last day from hole 4-16. But I did see Sam hit two drives into the trees...hooked on 13 into the trees. His ball hit trees and fell into the creek....penalty.
In last round he hit his tee shot on 2 in the right trees....unplayable lie, penalty and even more trouble on his available drop, resulting in a double bogey. Think about how many drives Rory hit right in the trees on 2....how many penalties or blocked 2nd shots.....zero. Same thing on 18 last round. Bottom line, Rory never had to pay for his really wild driving. Sam was penalized 2 shots for his two shots in the trees, at least as far as I saw.
Same thing, even worse for Young....hooked drive on 13, hit trees and bounced in the fairway..birdie, which easily could have been a 6 or worse (ask the Chinaman)...Young hit into the trees round 3 on 18...kicked out in the fairway for a shot. How about his heeled drive on 18 into the left trees, that bounced out and he had a shot to the green.
There were several other fortunate bounces for them plus Rose (17) and I can't think of a single one for Sam.
I am not saying he lost because of all of this, but I am saying that from a playing viewpoint, Sam played as well with zero good bounces. In my mind, that was the difference for him winning or finishing 7th. I know it happens ever tournament, that the guys with the best bounces combined with good play, usually win. Rory did not play like a real champion on Sunday imo, but he survived.

can he play 2nd base since his pitching career is done, and we need a decent infielder?
try beating it in their heads what is the right way to play winning baseball and stop just telling them that they know how. I don't actually think they do. They can't field, throw, bunt, run bases, throw strikes, catch or give up themselves to move a runner .
They obviously need to be taught and tomorrow is as good a time to start as any. Just telling them isn't getting through to them. teach them over and over and over until it is natural to them. Play those willing to learn and have potential and put the remainder on the bench and tell them to start looking for another school to screw up.
Please don't lump Curiel in that group. He is one of the best players in the nation. He has been hitting the ball hard but sadly right at the outfielders. It happens, but Curiel is a stud and I like Milam also, but he has also slumped with the bat, but as solid an infielder as we will ever have. Brown can be good and he can be awful, so not sure about him for your list. The rest of them are not P&G calibre baseball players.
if it is true that luck balances out, he will not break 75 tomorrow.
He had an unusual number of round changing inexplicable good bounces today.
I hope Sam gets some of those tomorrow if he needs it to get a great win.
Geaux Sam!

re: Would a good range work in BR?

Posted by QB on 4/11/26 at 7:42 pm to
I'll tell you what would work in BR just like it has in Shreveport.
That is a David Toms 265 Academy.
Young players are developed and fantastic all encompassing practice facilty for all levels of play.
Also a 9 hole par 3 course with distances 65 yds to 140 yds. Great for short iron, scoring wedge development.
Then there is a 4 hole Loop...a par 3, par 4 and par 5 that can play short or long.
Great concept for development....Sam Burns, Carter Toms and Philip Barbaree, among many others than earned college schollie were developed at 265 Academy, and BR would be an even better location for a very similar facility.

What do coaches do if not teaching how to hit, run bases, not get picked off, throw strikes, not hit batters, how to field their positions, etc etc.
Even he admitted that LSU is playing something very foreign to winning baseball.
Are coaches only supposed to recruit, and make our lineup cards and watch our team play non winning baseball. He is in charge of our coaches and what they are teaching our players or not teaching our players. From what I've seen from the beginning of the season to now, our players have learned nothing, and I see no improvement in a single player...except maybe Braun, which was to be expected from a highly touted freshman. Curiel is our rock and fortunately no one has had any negative impact on his game. He should be higher in the lineup though....that is a no brainer.
You are right....After last year and 2 out of 3 Nattys, I thought JJ had earned major respect with the best players in the portal that would want to play for LSU, the top program in the nation.
I don't know what happened, but I don't think I have ever been this surprised at the drop in quality players and a team that was highly touted by so many. As usual, I took the bait, and LSU was ranked #1 in the nation, and I thought rightfully so.
They and I have never been more wrong. I am mainly concerned that players that might have been considering coming to the top program are having serious negative thoughts, and this could be the beginning of the demise of a great program. It has happened to others, and I guess LSU is not immune to being a non factor in college baseball in the future.
the best get better because of what LSU has accomplished and they can drop out of that world with perceived breakdown in the program. hard to argue there isn't a major problem at LSU baseball right now. We will see how JJ reacts. I'm rooting for the old coach.

Rizzy

should be totally embarassed he is being brought into this game at this time,, down 9-2. That is what his performance this year has earned him.
who are the new coaches you are going to hire after you fire the no coaching guys we presently have. Nobody is being coached anything this year.
