The decision to not bunt in the 8th was questionable but we never should’ve been in that spot. We hit a batter while ahead in the count to set up the 2 run home run. I’m not sure how many times we hit/ walked a batter and they stole third base multiple times to take advantage, and that’s on pitching. On the offensive side they battled for the most part but what sticks out to me is the strikeout with the bases loaded. It feels like that happens almost every game at this point, don’t even put the ball in play and try to put any pressure on the defense. Also Larson deserves all the AB’s.

What stuck out to me was getting a leadoff single in the 9th, one of the best hitters in the country popping up on the next pitch, jones watching 3 cock fastballs in a row and Milazzo taking 2 strikes to get way behind in the count.

Game over. Not even competitive when it mattered most.

No one seems to be giving credit to the talent of Vandy. They hurt us on the base paths, had some very timely hits, and they got inning ending outs when their back was to the wall. I don’t think our infield pulls off the DP that they had in the 8th.

What sticks out to me when comparing other teams to LSU batting is the other teams seem to attempt base hits, putting the ball in play while our guys (not all) seem to be chasing the long ball all the time.

You have to steal, bunt, or hit-and-run literally every pitch of Milam’s last AB. A GIDP can’t be an option.

Giving up 2 out hits has killed this team all year long
