On the game-winning hit

[MSUDC11]

This isn't going to make anyone feel better about the loss, but did anyone else see Smith nearly throw the runner out at first from right field?

He was safe by a step or so, but Salazar almost celebrated too much and nearly got thrown out at first from right.

Can you imagine if we had come back to win after that? Or if we had done that and turned around lost? Almost saw something surreal last night.

saw him coming up aggressively and was wondering why, good effort and being heads up on his part, but would have been remarkable.

That's the kind of effort & mental acuity you rarely see in a game. It bugs ...

me to see outfielders...especially MLB outfielders... not backing up plays, just watching the action.

When I coached, I always told the players, "Players get into the game for free. The fans in the stands have to pay. Decide which you want to be."

He would have been safe by two steps if Rooker was in right. /faaaarrrt

On a somewhat similar topic did anyone else see the last out of the LSU/CCU game last night? Very strange play where the CF misplayed a routine fly ball, but the runner got thrown out at 2nd because he started half *** running watching the play. I believe it would've gotten the tying run to the plate for LSU.

I'm sure Manieri will publicly blame the loss entirely on that player. Inexcusable to let that happen though.
