I had a Mississippi State fan basically say the same thing to me about our SEC tournament win, “Good game last night. I feel we gave that one away rather then getting beat by talent.”
My response, “You did. Questionable manager decisions and one bad play by your second baseman.
That being said if our catcher had not celebrated that foul tip prematurely, we could’ve shut you out.”
He could only say, “True”
There are going to be a lot of “ifs” and “could haves”. I just hope at the end of the game it’s “if we would not have done that we could’ve beat them worse”
