re: If good pitching defeats good hitting….. - Tiger1988
[quote]Wow you don’t know what you’re talking about. [/quote] Ok Coach dumbass. Just watched the Yankee failures the last 7 years. But focus on bombs and see what happens. How about Skips 1989 team with 6 guys who pitched in the major league? How about Skip the pitching coach for Miami when ...

re: If good pitching defeats good hitting….. - Tiger1988
[quote]I’ll take the coach that had us a national seed prior to the conference tournament over the one who had to win just to get into the field but I know you love you some Schlossnagle[/quote] I think both are good coaches. I just prefer coaches who focus on grinding out hits and pitching over...

re: Hitting with RISP - Tiger1988
The blow out games skew the numbers. That’s the issue. Tell these idiots that though as they ALWAYS revert to averages. They have a 12-8 their last 20 games including dropping a series at home to MSU and losing a mid-week game to Nichols. That’s the reality. If I’m the committee, I’m lo...

re: Small ball will not be attacked ITT - Tiger1988
[quote]You know what puts more pressure on a staff than bunting? Having white coming up to the dish if you pitch around crews. The white/crews combo is rare, but Dugas, Thompson, Beloso etc are plenty good enough. I guarantee you that we haven't faced one pitcher all season that hasn't felt pressure...

re: Small ball will not be attacked ITT - Tiger1988
[quote]But the emphasis here is on runS, plural. Swinging away as opposed to bunting increases your chances of scoring multiple runs in an inning, [/quote] runs per nine is irrelevant when you’re playing a team that has good pitching. You’re fricked if you can’t do the small stuff by putting pressu...

re: If good pitching defeats good hitting….. - Tiger1988
[quote]do the Aggies with the tournament today? And does that mean LSU has to focus on pitching moving forward? [/quote] What do they have left? They had to come out of the losers bracket. Here’s the deal, the COACH also is pretty damn important. Look at the run last year with less talent an...

re: Small ball will not be attacked ITT - Tiger1988
[quote]You need speed (burner speed) to make the threat real. [/quote] We’re not talking about bunting for hits. We are talking about bunting to move runners and in strategic situations. For example, had Dugas been able to bunt Travinski scores in the game in the tied with LSU having an advantage l...

re: Small ball will not be attacked ITT - Tiger1988
You mean fundamental baseball? Here’s the deal: White is a great hitter. He hits for power and can drive in runs by doing things like hitting fly balls to drive in runs. He is a great 2 strike hitter. That guy should never bunt. Other hitters like Thompson, Dugas, Morgan can all learn ...

re: CJJ was testy in the after game Press Conference - Tiger1988
[quote]Young coach? Johnson is 46 years old and has been a D-1 HC for a decade. At what age/experience level does one stop being a “young coach”? [/quote] Let’s see how this played out… Leah: Jay can you give us an update on White? Jay: of the record? Leah: yeah off the record. Jay: he is su...

re: The melt on this board is crazy - Tiger1988
[quote]Why didn’t we win the toughest conference in baseball? Who in this conference had a better roster than us? [/quote] Funny game indeed. Lots of ifs and buts to go around. People just need to stop deflecting and start accepting that these kids and coaches are fallible. This is a VERY VER...

re: This team needs a. Blair Barbier - Tiger1988
[quote]I’m not knocking Todd Walker at all. But for you to say Todd Walker never failed is just not accurate. By your measure Todd would have won a national title every season at lsu. In fact, Todd Walker struggled in the 1993 CWS until the elimination semifinal against Long Beach State. Now he ...

re: This team needs a. Blair Barbier - Tiger1988
[quote]Go look up Dylan Crews stats in the Oregon Regional, Tennessee Super Regional, and USM Regional. [/quote] Maybe so, but teams have learned to pitch inside and on his back foot or let him walk. Respect for his bat. HE has to take that and know it and stop pressing like he did during that...
