LSU game 2

Ginn in a little trouble

Looks like we'll be playing catch up again

I swear I can't watch these games. I've got to stop getting so emotionally involved.

Ginn should've got out of it. I'm not real impressed with infield defense

2-0 LSU. Damn Halter, you had him

Tanner Allen is a shitty first baseman. That is all.

WE NEED a real 1b player - damn

You put the ball in play we look like a little league team on infield defending

What's the rationale for him being at first over Hatcher?

Why do we have a 5’11 first baseman? Seriously.

Shit. Lefties are ripping Ginn. May be a long night

Tanner has got to make some plays.

Allen isn't looking good in the field or at the plate right now. Granted, those balls were scorched

Yep should be all unearned runs imo.

I posted the Lefties might give us trouble. But I was assured it wasn't going to be a problem.

Hatcher is better defensively. Only thing I can think of is that Allen is going to be in the lineup everyday and Hatcher is only going to play against Righties so you want to have the continuity. That doesn't make much sense, but it's all I can come up with.

Time to hang some crooked numbers on the scoreboard.

With Ginn's ball sinking away from lefties, we need move Allen further off the bag and into the 4 hole. If they get it down the line then so be it.

Who is the official scorekeeper? Can't believe that was ruled a hit and then an error on the throw. If there was no error, there was no hit. Tough break for Ginn getting pegged for 1 earned run there.

Wtf tanner. Play just a little defense and we escape that inning. ****ing horrible.

So Allen is too lazt to take as many steps off of first as he should, costs us an out. Then Halter is too incompetent to throw the ball 15 feet. Fix either one and it's 0-0. Defense is a pretty big liability.

We've gotta put Hatcher at 1b and let Allen DH. 1) Hatcher has to be better than this defensively, 2) Hatcher is the better hitter right now

Time for Halter or Hatcher at 1st with Landon at 2nd

This defense is an atrocity

As much as I like this team, this is maybe the shakiest infield I can remember us having in a long time. We seem to rarely be in the right position and we just don't make plays. One of the reasons we have so few double plays. Ginn was too late getting to first and I guess was trying to find the base. Halter's throw was fine.

Halter made a mistake but he was throwing to a moving target after bare handing the ball. Tough play

The way I saw it that was on Ginn.

Now there's something that doesn't happen

Mangum just swung at 3 ball 4s.

JW just took two balls that were called strikes.

nah, Halter threw it behind him. Gotta remember Ginn is moving toward first and Halter threw it to the home plate side of the bag. I just don't get how that was ruled a hit and an error.

Ginn was late which was why he was still trying to get to first but the ball went right over his elbow.

You're right. Ball should have arrived at Ginn on first base, not a stretch play.

I never count this MSU squad out, but you just can't spot a team the caliber of LSU 3 runs.

This is one ugly start

Their freshman struck out the side. Ours gave up three runs. Will it hold up?

Yikes. Not a promising first

Allen swings at three high pitches and once again, no one but the man in black knows what the f'n strike zone is. Crap

I'm always hesitant to do this but bench ****ing tanner. Can't play defense then you better ****kng not swing at shit in your ****ong eyes. We are losing tonite. By all the bullshit by Skelton and Westburg last night LSU feels like they won and now we are letting them. Welcome to losing 2/3.

3-0 going to the top of the second. A hell of a lot of baseball up. We will be okay.

Seems like EVERY game lately we are giving our opponent 2, 3 or 4 runs in the first inning. We aren't going to keep getting away with that in the SEC. It was just the midweek guys but now Small and Ginn are doing it.
