LSU Game 2 Thread

[I seen it dawg]

We need to bunt Rea

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

We need to bunt Rea

I know you are joking but i almost would

[Will James]

We need to bunt Rea

I strongly disagree

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

No DP

[MetEdDawg]

They better learn bc it is the game. Id take 8 armstrongs over 8 wes reas. Speed kills. It is new baseball.

No doubt. If you watch high school baseball, you can clearly see that Armstrong guys are winning teams games right now. 6-9 hole guys that have speed and can bunt to put pressure on defenses to make plays. They make the baseball plays, get on base and get guys over which turns the lineup over and gets the better hitters up in RBI and 2 out situations.

I love bunting, but it is a mentality that you have to buy in to. Good teams can do it 1-9 in college baseball. Good high school teams have 6-9 guys that can do it.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

1st pitch flyout rea

[PMDawg]

Wes is useless

[Will James]

Rea is not a very good hitter.

ETA against good pitching

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Rea is slumping. Clutch last year and renfroe this yr

[Coach34]

This is our chance

I agree with all this

[Will James]

Pirtle

Lazy lineout to CF

T8
2-1 LSU
2 out

[MarketingBully01]

Stupid contact.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Heck is due. Come on

[Coach34]

It's like hitting with those foam swimming pool toys

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Heck with deep infield single. 2 on and 2 out

[msstate7]

Gotta get a hit here

[Will James]

Heck

1-0
2-0 close
3-0
3-1

SINGLE!!

Now PR for Detz

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

It's like hitting with those foam swimming pool toys

Ive never actually hit with a new bat. Ill try it out next week

[MarketingBully01]

If Armstrong gets a hit here, move him to lead off.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Dammit armstrong.

[msstate7]

It's over

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

If Armstrong gets a hit here, move him to lead off.

Well he has been on base 3 times today, which is prob more than vick all month. Cohenz is racist

[AlSwearengen]

Jesus, please let our freshmen turn out and progress. I can't watch much more of this futile offense.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Hendu leads off. We can small ball him around. Will have to PH for britton though

[MarketingBully01]

What is our deal? The guy throws only fastballs and the occasional curve. Don't drive it. Get a ground ball base hit. Shit.

[Will James]

It's over

Makes you wonder if we don't waste an out in the 2nd moving a runner to 3rd base if its any different.

[msstate7]

Well we no a bunch of hitters that suck

[Will James]

grounder to Heck 1 down

[msstate7]

Makes you wonder if we don't waste an out in the 2nd moving a runner to 3rd base if its any different.

I hated that also.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Id bunt every time. Better chance of getting on than getting 3 hits a game. At least they have to make a play

[Will James]

grounder to Britton

2 down

Lindgren is great

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

1-2-3 8th

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Lindgren has earned a fri or sun role starter

[Will James]

Grounder to Heck

Lindgren = Graveman's ground ball numbers with 45% K rate to boot

[MetEdDawg]

grounder to Britton

2 down

Lindgren is great

One thing I will agree with the commentators on is that he is the best prospect we have on the team. He's got good stuff. If he can put it together consistently for an extended period of time he could go very high.

[msstate7]

grounder to Britton

2 down

Lindgren is great

Glad we saved him till we were behind.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Brown leads off for our best hitter

[Will James]

Cody Brown pinch hitting for Hendu

[maroonmania]

17 innings in BR and we have a whopping 1 run and 6 hits to show for it.

possibly in the 1st

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Well what may work out is lingren, mitchell and woody. If they work, best starters in league

[msstate7]

17 innings in BR and we have a whopping 1 run and 6 hits to show for it.

Free passes and errors are required for us to score

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Big pitch

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Holy shit awful call

[Will James]

**** THAT!

Butch should get tossed too

[Will James]

Told you the college umpire gives 4-6 inches outside. Its annoying

[msstate7]

College officials in basketball and baseball are pathetic

[MetEdDawg]

My god what a horse shit call. I hate today's umpires. They are terrible with balls and strikes.

[Will James]

Put in Garner or Hump and say swing for NOLA

[MarketingBully01]

All i gotta say is wow! Can you fine a ****ing unp? That was almost a foot off the plate.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Wouldve been a dp anyway

2 down

[PMDawg]

God loves LSU. Why I don't know. A BS strikeout then hitting the mound saves them from a base hit up the middle.

[EdDawg]

Apparently if it's anywhere near the batter's box it's a strike. I swear the ump is cross-eyed.

[Will James]

CT was an hour and a half late on that pitch

1-2

[Will James]

Late there too.

Should have been a HR threat

Our coaches were horrible tonight

[msstate7]

We aren't good.

[TopconDog]

We aren't good.

WE NEED SOME ****ING HITTERS,GIVE UP 5 RUNS TOTAL IN 2 GAMES AND LOSE BOTH PATHETIC

[MarketingBully01]

They just swept us guys. I don't think we will play tomorrow.

[Will James]

WE NEED SOME ****ING HITTERS,GIVE UP 5 RUNS TOTAL IN 2 GAMES AND LOSE BOTH PATHETIC

Hitters
An idea at the plate
coaching decisions

Many factors that lead to our anemicness

[MarketingBully01]

Cohen getting thrown out in the third cost us in that game too. Questionable PH decisions IMO. Henderson was actually hitting decently and he is a senior. Then you put in CT Also, why not PH Collins for Randolph? He hurt us quite a bit at the plate tonight too.

[I seen it dawg]

Well we found out Butch ain't ready to be a head coach so we don't have to worry about that. Terribly mismanaged ninth. And not putting Lindgren in when we needed a k in the 6th.

[DownwardDawg]

LSU owns us in every sport. I laugh when I read the threads where people are talking about us going over there and beating them in football next season. Pipe dream. We'll beat Bama before we ever beat LSU again.
Ok rant over.

[msstate7]

If we're gonna recruit little, speed guys, then we need to get some that put the ball in play on the ground. We pop up and k way too much for zero power

[Thick]

We can't hit, PERIOD! We are nasty defensively, but we still take too many strikes and our seasoned hitters are sucking right now. Punching Judies!

[maroonmania]

Make that 1 run and 6 hits in 18 innings in BR. Glad Cohen is a great hitting coach or there is no telling how bad we would be offensively.

[Bully13]

did we just spend 18 innings and score 1 run? a team that played for the final last year? I don't give a 17 who or where we just played and I don't give a 17 how dead the ball or the bats are. 17 this. the coaches and players should all have sex change operations if they can't fix this shit tomorrow.

[Will James]

Can Cohen recruit hitters? I mean theres Frazier who could HIT and then…….

[MarketingBully01]

This was just a miserable game to watch period. What sucked the most about it is Ross made one of the worst errors I have ever seen because he single handedly cost us or single handedly could have won that game. Make that play, and we win 1-0. I almost wished he wouldn't have gotten to it because it's a double play if it gets by him. I just really have never seen a play like that. How do you shoot a ball 8-9 feet away from you while exchanging it to your throwing hand? Almost like they cast voodoo or something on us.

To me, it all starts with that lead off position. When Vickerson gets on, we almost always score that inning. When he doesn't get on, we suck at the plate. Rea's batting average with runners on is .377. When he comes up with no one on, it's below .200. We need to move Vick out of the lineup when CT comes back and put Armstrong as lead off. It just needs to happen. Vick is in a slump and he has been extremely horrible this series with yes even strikeouts this time these two games.

Stuart Scott lazy eye

[Schultzy]

The first and last pitch called strikes on Cody brown leading off the ninth were both a foot outside. That's big in a one run game.

Sec umps shrink at lsu and it's not defensible against MSU .

[mic]

Yeah Butch better not put this game management on his resume .. And since we cant hit might as well go down with your best arms on the mound for the weekend from here on out....
Friday - Woody
Sat- Ross
Sun- Lindy

When the announcers question it (as biased for the umps they have been), you know it is really bad.

Agreed. If anything, hopefully this will wake Cohen and Thompson up to who is contributing and who is not. We had that pitcher tonight on the ropes and we let him off the hook several times. We let a struggling hitting team beat us in two games with them scoring 5 runs total. That is just terrible.

[mic]

Same ump that blew the call last night at first.. The crew chief came in to get Cohen to clam down cause he knew the jackass blew the call. Just like they knew he blew the call last night..

Seems like its something like that when we play LSU in ANY sport these days. Don't know what kind of spell those bastards have on us but they sure have one. Never seen anything quite like it.

[WPDawg]

It would appear its time to give Vickerson a couple days off to clear his head. Armstrong seems to have the best at bats in the lineup. Throw him in at lead off for a couple of games to see what happens. Not sure of the rest of order but I would love to see Cohen shake it up some to just break from our current doldrums we have fallen in. If I had a vote, here is what I would try even if just for one game.

Armstrong
Henderson
Pirtle
Rea
Heck
Bradford
Detz or whoever DHs
Randolph
Britton
