2 egregious errors by Luke Alexander tonight

Smh

He needs to clean it up for sure. Still miffed as to how someone can hurdle first on a standup double.

 

[MaroonNation]

They overcame it though. This team is improving every game.

 

[Shadow34]

Not to mention his base running blunder when he missed first base on his lead off double in the seventh. Would've given us one more run. But alas we got it done and Im proud of the boys winning in an sec opener on the road in a tough environment. H D S

**** his base pad vaulting was egregious error #1? Did i miss another error other than him whiffing on picking up that bunt?

In my lifetime, and I'm not in my 20's, I have never seen what Alexander did. Never. I'm at a complete loss for an explanation. It looked as if he intentionally avoided the base. I've seen guys try to step on the very edge and keep running, but never hurdle the base. Bizarre. His drop of the bunt had me measuring him for the goat horns.

Luckily in the end we won anyway, but on the bunt play, why do you run by the baseball on that play? Normally you would come to a stop at the point where the ball is and then pick up the ball and make the throw. It looked like LA tried to pick up the ball while running by it to make the throw. Bad form all around.

LA has the top end talent and the dude plays his *** off for MSU, because he loves it. I can live with his mistakes. He's only going to get better, ie he has to play.

Luke Alexander

is probably the 4th best hitter on a team with three 17'ing incredible hitters leading the way. We need his bat in the line-up & he will clearly be better defensively over the entire year our defensive 3rd base experience last year. Missing first base on the potential double to lead off an inning late in the game trailing 3-0 is beyond unacceptable. We can live with misplaying the bunt because that is a difficult play anyway. Hopefully he learns from the mistake running the bases.

 

[MaroonNation]

He even looked down to make sure he clears it on his way to 2B. I know he felt the fact that he missed it. And right in front of the OM dugout. You know he wasn't going to get away with it. I'm with you. He looked for all intent and purpose to intentionally miss it.

Well we have no choice but to accept it. So I'd say it's acceptable, especially when it was a mistake.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Yeah, gonna go ahead and call BS on that one. Dude didn't intentionally miss the damn base. Major brain fart? Maybe. Thinking too much? Maybe.

 

[8dog]

I think he will be good but right now he is about the 7th best hitter in the lineup along with poole. In his last ten games he is 4 for 33 with 11 ks. Hoping he finds his stroke again

 

[Todd4State]

I remember Ed Easley I think it was in 2005 overrunning one of our baserunners on a home run which resulted in him being out. That was pretty bad too.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

He OBVIOUSLY meant to do it!!!!11111luzl1

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Yeah so the hell with everything I said earlier. Alexander needs get to get his *** in gear.
