LSU. Game 2.

Post by roanoke »

First pitch homer for LSU.

1-0 after 1.

Little is going to have to throw strikes. He is missing badly early.

And when you fall behind and have to groove it: it spells trouble.

How is Rodriguez doing in the minors? He was a really good catcher.

Just because you’re playing back doesn’t mean you can’t throw home. LSU runner was dead to rights on that sharp grounder. We threw to first. Run scored. 3-0.

I'd sure pitch to Crews every time. Bet he can't hit 5-6 HRs!

Half of Little‘s pitches in the dirt.

Then he grooves one. 5-0.

Pull him. Bring in Berkwich or anyone who can throw a strike. Crews only got up because #9 got a walk that wasn’t close.

Horrible start: Crews now 2 HR's and llike last night they have a huge second inning. 0-5. Unlike last night lets see if we can mount a comeback. Their pitcher we tried hard to recruit ,- he is a great student but chose LSU.

In Arkansas we were going opposite way - not trying to lift and pull everything. Back home, we are back to our old tricks. We need to start scratching for runs and taking what we’re given or we are going to get skunked again.

We let them get the lead off man on in all 3 innings. Need to stop that rest of game or it is going to be ugly.

Little has a lot of potential - still.

But we really needed him to deliver tonight. And he has not.

4 walks in three innings. A number of balls in the dirt - including one that cost a run. Just a sloppy outing through three.

Some folks have been on here relentlessly asking for more Little. I get it - but you have to be dependable. This kind of performance helps explain why we haven’t seen him more regularly.

Maybe we will play better as a 2-seed on the road with a chip on our shoulder?

That is certainly the hole we are digging ourselves.

What would be the reason for the chip? That we crapped in our own nest?

5 walks in 3 and1/3 inning is not going to win. Sorry cause Little needed to be good tonight.
