So what you’re saying is our pen shouldn’t hold a one run lead in the later innings even though we have one of the best middle reliever closers in the SEC. Henderson’s mistake was thinking Neff could get us 12 outs when he’s mainly been a matchup guy all year. We had a 3-2 lead in the eighth. 99% of coaches go to their closer right there. We have the only idiot 1% head coach who thinks a matchup guy can get you four innings. Truth is, you got that one out in the eighth and you had a great time to go out and get Neff with his confidence beaming and retired five straight batters. That triple was off a righty. Self would have ate him alive. You play to win the game there and you bring Self in with five outs to get to Omaha. Period. His coaching decisions have always perplexed me and tonight was no different.
