While true, that mistake is forgivable because it's just one mistake.
Aloy's is almost unforgivable because it happened after that mistake. You can have one mistake. You can't follow that mistake with a bigger lapse in judgement.
After the 1b guffaw, you expect everyone to focus in and not have anymore mental mistakes.
The outfielder didn't make a mental mistakes, so he's in the clear, but Aloy not being focused on what he needed to do, which honestly is probably his first instinct (turn the double play) is unforgivable.
99 times out of 100 he doesn't think and turns the play to second for a double.
He panicked

Funny that Aloy is getting all the blame when almost the entire team and coaching staff melted that last inning.
It was a tailor made double play. There is a 99.9% chance you get one out and a 99.8% chance it is a double play.
The play at first is straight reaction by the first baseman. Pitcher was late. Can’t really blame either there.
The line drive to left is a tough read and he didn’t play it well.
Bear’s line drive was a couple inches higher than the guy could jump.
95% blame is the short stop. 5% LF.

The entire bottom of the 9th was a disaster all around for Arkansas

I see a lot of Arkie fans blaming DVH. I have no idea what he could possibly have done to help his players make simple, obvious decisions and catch balls that hit their gloves. I get the frustration but blaming DVH for this is idiotic.

Curiel was ahead of the pitcher covering. He would have been safe. But only been on first base.

What about the outfielder diving for a ball he had no chance at that allowed the tying run to come in and the winning run to get to second?
No chance? It hit him in the shoulder, after he miss judged it. He didnt dive for a ball 10 ft away. A college outfielder makes that play 99.9% of the time.

Yeah, it definitely wasn't just one play.
I mean, let's not forget the left fielder taking it off the dome.

Aloy’s play was a mental error that wins them the game. The play at first just cost them a base. Curiel is safe anyway. The left fielder slipped and made a physical error.

Yep. Panicked or choked. Pick your word. Much as I’m really happy we won and will take it anyway it comes, I hate to see it happen because really good baseball players made some inexplicably horrible decisions and plays.

Yea it would read 0-5 vs LSU on the cover
Posted on 6/18/25 at 10:21 pm to RoscoeHarper
One was more of a physical error. He over extended and then made a bad throw. The other was just a brain fart

think pitcher missed his spot. Was told to throw breakers down and away he can’t hit and left one up.
You don’t leave the entire game up to a reliever who’s as scared as you are. DVH. Bad moments galore.

While the timing sucked, Arky benefitted greatly from 3 LSU errors.
Hell, the game goes into the ninth as 2-1 or 3-1 LSU if not for two poor plays by Dickinson and then Bear missing the double play ball at first.
Instead, they entered the 9th tied. Problem was Johnson pushing Shores for too long. He got lucky with Shires getting the first out. Should have then switched pitchers to close it out.
Just sucks for Arky because it all happened in back to back to back plays.

Don't forget Brown slipping and getting tagged before Pearson got home, so that could have been another LSU run they ended up not getting.

Jones hit a ball right at the second baseman and it hit right in his glove and he failed to squeeze it. That with the double play that wasn’t and the screwup in left field cost the game. LSU literally hit 3 ball hard the entire game
And If Jones squeezes that double play ball yall maybe score 1 run.....
If's and But's and you know the rest

And LSU had three errors that put them in the situation they were in down by two…those don’t happen the bottom of the 9th never happens…

It really was. LSU basically had 5-6 outs to play with in the 9th. DVH getting lots of blame but what happened in the bottom of the 9th was nothing but player bad decisions and miscues.
DVH chose the pitcher and he did his job. Just didn’t get much help. He took the L but definitely did not deserve it.
