I just pointed out how similar the two teams are.
Ok my bad you aren’t bitter. You are retarded! Have you seen LSU wearing a fur coat and daddy hats ? You SJW’s get your pants wadded because a college athlete tells another college athlete to frick off . You ARE a Texas fan so it kind of makes sense. Rubber dildo waving liberals

On Saturday, I didn't think the first pitch to Jones was bad but the second one was definitely a quick pitch that got him to a 0-2 count.
I didnt see the first pitch but the pitch clock on second one was at 16 sec. Look at the video to see pitch three time… 19 sec out of 20. The PC is in the upper left of the Tony Chaciere screen behind home plate.

So your counter is, yes he was employing bush league tactics but that was his only strategy to win. I agree. It didn't work

I think we have different views on what is bush league and what isn't.

May have something to do with wanting to defend your team.

Not at all. I just don't think switching pitchers in this situation, when he has the pen to do it, is bush league. I think he utilized a strategy to put his team to potentially win a series against a team, on paper, has more sheer talent. I'm not going to apologize for my coach trying to win games. This is the SEC, not the B1G.
The other complaint was playing small ball down 10 runs. Why would they abandon their system when they're down like that? Makes far more sense to stay consistent.

So your coach isn't trying to win games? Y'll went from being down 6-2 to being up 12-6 in the blink of an eye in game 2. Why so little faith in game 1?
This isn't some hot take by LSU's fans. Mingione has had this reputation for over a decade.

Part of it was due to injuries as well:
quote:
Nick Mingione on the decision to start Zach Hise tonight: "With the Thursday-Friday-Saturday series, and Logan Martin and (Darren Williams) coming off injuries, we didn't want to push them up. Zach's a guy that has starting experience, a guy that's thrown in SEC games before and he'd been throwing the ball well for us."

Made perfectly good sense facing Skenes in Game 1 as well. Chances are you're not beating Skenes, so why waste your ace there when you can potentially grab the next two.
And he damn near pulled it off.

your starter was long and Skenes out of the game, and he was still playing small ball, trying to drag the game out....LSU used 1 relief pitcher.
I didn't say anything about him starting a reliever in game 1. That, too, was dumb and telling your team they're not good enough, but to each his own.

But he didn't, and intentionally walking Crews to load the bases for the nation's RBI leader didn't, in fact, pay off. It lost your team game 3 and the series.
Quick pitching Jared Jones didn't pay off either. It led to a 450 ft home run.
Trying to burn LSU's bullpen by playing small ball to avoid a run rule also didn't pay off in game 1.
What paid off was LSU's right fielder going full retard in game 2 on a lazy pop fly and completely flipping the game upside down.

Again, it almost won him a series against #1 so it wasn't too dumb.

Again, have no issue with him continuing to use the same style of play. It's what they're going to use every game the rest of the season. Do y'all pull back and stop hitting bombs just because you're up? Nope.
Just say you hate small ball and that's fine. But don't act like it hasn't been a valid style of play for Kentucky this season.

Byers doesn't hit the next batter and there's a solid chance they're still in position to win the game. shite happens.
Crews hits a bomb with runners on (and that was VERY possible) then you pretty well reduce any chance of being in a position to win too.
Acting like Kentucky didn't just give your boys a good game this weekend and almost won the series is silly. And quite insecure.

That decision didn't almost win him the series

Yes, LSU will change strategies given the situation in the game. Did you not notice LSU used a hit and run with a slow player and one of their worst contact hitters in the B8 in game 3? Did you recall them attempting to move runners like that at any other point in the series? No, you didn't.
LSU doesn't just sit back and try to hit bombs, regardless. They try to work counts and get on base. The home runs will and have come. But they have the fewest strikeouts in the SEC and the highest OBP. You may be confusing LSU with South Carolina.

He doesn't walk Crews, and you still have a force out at every base but home and you're not forcing a college pitcher to be perfect. It was an idiotic call, sorry. Not a single time in the series did intentionally walking a batter not backfire on him. It's simply not smart when the guy batting behind Crews is Tommy White. That's called overthinking the situation.

Is this a serious post? He was mocking the umpire who threw out their starting pitcher for being too excited about a strikeout.

No it's not a serious post at all. I think it is hilarious.
