I’m disappointed for sure
In the end CWS was an overall good season
We had just too many crucial holes in the lineup
Sec tourney O runs against A/M
CWS 0 Against LSU
Just ahhhhhhhhh!!!!

Not to be "that guy" or anything but what else did you want to happen?

CTV put in a P to induce a double-play ball. That happened. The players ****ed it up.

You can make all the "right" decisions in the world as a coach, but if the players don't execute whose fault is it?

Tony did what he could do (short of grabbing a bat or a glove) to help TN win.

I know it’s easy to say in hindsight, but, at the time, I thought Beam could’ve stayed - he had a relatively low pitch count and only a few walks.

I thought we’d see Halvy for more than one batter, but I know he probably Had a very limited pitch count. I had no issue with Camden, but they hit him hard and his stuff was erratic when they didn’t hit him hard - I was very surprised to see him take the mound at Top of the 9th.

I know that Dryling and Tears are better than Scott. Scott going 4-37 in post season and still getting sent out is just crazy. At what point do you make a change? 4-60?

I definitely hear ya. Worries me about what that says about Tears' and Dreilings' gloves!

Ain't these coaches 1st rodeo

It's a different sport, but Neyland's maxims are true in the sense of "The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win." LSU wasn't good tonight at all, but they made the fewest mistakes.

Still, incredibly great turnaround this season, and lucky to be one of the final 6 teams left at the end. Great accomplishment.

To be real about Burns
If your his parents would you want him back here? No way…..I honestly think he is gone simply because of the weird way we treated him this year.

Tears had lingering injuries all year. Dreiling needs to improve his defense. Scott is great defensively and just had a bad run to end the year offensively. It happens.

What? How did we treat him? He stunk up some of his starts. TV put him in a different role, and he excelled. He greatly raised his stock the last half of the year, and he will probably go back to starting next year. What the heck?

If LSU offered him anything while the season is still going, that's called tampering.

Yeah it would be. However LSU is baseball royalty. Nothing will happen. It's likely this was a back channel deal if it indeed comes. Probably a lot like Skenes

Well, that didn't age well. We lost tonite for the same reasons we have struggled against mediocre lefties all season: We don't have consistent and championship quality right handed hitters, with the exception of CMo. Sure, we could have pitched and defended better, but zero runs tells you the true story. It's a priority to get better right hand hitters in the lineup, starting at catcher, and also in the outfield, third base, and especially at DH.

And you're absolutely right (for the most part)..... HOWEVER

CTV decided to sub for a P that kept the ball low to induce the double-play ball

That's what happened! So..... correct decision?

Turns out, TN decided, right then, to be stupid playing D

What TV subbed TO happen DID happen.... for whatever reason execution went out the window

Would the same thing have happened if TV hadn't subbed then? No way to know.....
