The DP that was passed up was the true “mistake”, and it’s still not all on the SS

As a team, they should have talked through (even if just chatter) that a DP ball goes to 2B no matter what. Even if you don’t turn 2, you still have the tying run at 1st. The lead runner was immaterial.
All the other defensive issues were “heat of the moment” execution. This one was a lack of pre-play awareness, and that falls to coaching IMHO.

What’s your excuse, your coach and players must really suck.

If tweet fails to load, click here. Just painful to watch. Game-ending DP served up on a silver platter.

I'm not sure I would blame coaching for the DP decision. That's typically a player driven decision in the heat of the moment. What you can blame coaching on is the decision to pitch to Jared Jones. That was inexcusable. I think Van Horn was in shock by what just happened in left field and froze in the moment. That can't happen.

You have to think he was reminded of that in the huddle, would be a good question for a reporter to ask, but I doubt we will hear the answer.

I think the play in the first LSU game where they failed to turn 2 might have influenced his decision.

That play was the first pitch after a mound visit. Throwing to third there is almost inexplicable.

Youre taught in high school to visualize pre-play. We practiced it. There's no excuse for it.
Taking it further, he and his teammates should have verbalized the plan prior to the play. Its something we used to do often, remind everyone where to go with the ball.

Players know youre supposed to be prepared where to go with the ball before the pitch.

It might have been the pitching coach. Don’t fully recall.

Well, they won the series at your site when you were #2 in the country.
So, there’s that.

Your evidence shows that he threw it to 3rd on the one play where his momentum was going away from 2nd base. He squared up for all the ones he threw to 2nd.

Aloy been the SS two years. He golden spikes player of the year. Van Horn trusted him to make the right call on the field. Not hard to understand or grasp

Lost in all of the mistakes/errors is the play at first. As soon as 1B turned and saw 2nd base could and more than likely would make the play he should have gotten back to the bag. If I remember right, that would be two outs nobody on. But more than that it gave LSU hope and AR in turn played scared/tight, total momentum shift in my opinion. Which leads to AR completely shitting the bed like only AR can

100%. As soon as we got a baserunner I knew we had a real shot. I mean one swing ties the game at that point. If they get that out it’s most likely game over
