Didn't come close to getting a ball out of the infield. Stratton is the reason LSU WILL bunt early if they get a lead off guy on.
That hitting by our top 3, is an example of why we bunt early.

If they had the guy on 2nd, Rhymes drives him in...now they scored nothing. Congrats, dumbf*ck! And thanks for playing. Now get the 17 out of here.
but if LSU's number 2 hitter had bunted, instead of watching 3 sliders go by... they would be leading 1-0 on Rhymes' single to CF.
Instead, their number 4 and 5 hitters both strikeout and Stratton gets out of the jam.

I noticed you didn't have **** to say in my earlier thread. Over time the %'s back my argument and its not even close.
Renfroe would've gunned that 17er at the plate too it wasn't deep at all and got to him really quick. Look at the replay if you have DVR, Nola hadn't even reached 2nd base when he fielded the ball dumbf*ck. They wouldn't have sent him with 1 out and if they had sent him he wouldve been out by 10 feet.
stupid 17

I don't care if Roy Halladay is starting with Verlander, Kershaw and Mo Rivera waiting in the pen. Their purple and gold heritage will not allow them to bunt that early. Regardless of the pitcher, the park, the bats, whatever. They still think they have Brandon Larson, Eddy Furniss and Lyle Mouton coming up to smash a five run homer. If they had bunted against Stratton right there, they would have fired Manieri mid-inning.
egg this guy on. Let him continue to think Cohen knows nothing about hitting or baseball. There are already about 30000 threads on this.
this. Why don't you break down our hitters' approach at the plate. What is each batter doing wrong. What are they doing right. How can we maximize their efficiency at the plate each at bat and increase their averages. Furthermore, how can we increase our run production by instituting your plan? I am just blown away that someone of Cohen's caliber cannot see this, yet some 17ing junior high school yokel does.</p>
Just wanted to let you know there are folks here that understand your point. It's amazing so many folks can ignore the stats.
And right on cue, we pop up a bunt to get our first out of the inning.
It's like some are so ultra-sensitive to anything that might be critical of Cohen, that logic can't sink in.

Nobody's arguing that we should bunt every time...nobody thinks that. And everybody agrees that Cohen bunts some when we wouldn't....but this dumb17 is arguing that you should NEVER bunt with a man on 1st and 0 outs. That's stupidity. Hell, we just tried it, it didn't work, and we still had a big inning! How to you calculate that? Baseball is situational. And sometimes the situation cals for bunts. We will now have a lead with our Ace on the mound, so get ready to see a lot more bunting in this game. It's our style, and it has us sitting at a high #2 seed with a shot at hosting. I'm going to trust Cohen on this one.
I'm not a baseball expert. Now can you answer my posts. I'm trying to learn why we suck at hitting. You're the expert. Please, can you tell me what I asked? What do we need to change for each player, for each at bat? What are we currently doing with each hitters' approach that can be tweaked? It's obvious that John Cohen is in over his head with our offense and is clueless towards hitting. What would you do differently for each batter? Then, when opposing teams key in on these changes and make their own, how would you react to that?
and if he did argue that, I would say that's wrong. There are situations where it is warranted. But that would still make him mostly right.
It certainly is. And in those situations, you play the percentages. I think all MSDawg has pointed out is that we don't always play the percentages.

Einstein, I'm small minded. Now for the 3rd time, can you answer what each of our players are doing wrong with their approach at the plate in different situations faced. Then, how they could change this approach at the plate and anything else you see wrong with their swings. I'm going to guess if you cannot answer this that you don't know. Small minds, indeed.
