BB G2: Louisiana 0, USM 5

That’s an objectively wrong take to have. Sometimes bunting is beneficial but statistically speaking giving up outs is not how you score runs. We didn’t lose because of not bunting.

Obviously analytics aren’t always right. They say that stealing bases isn’t the best bet but when you’re stealing at about. 90% clip, you keep doing that.

As Foote says “Bunt or lose” three innings in a row lead off guy on and you don’t move him over. You got what you deserve.

S.Miss got leadoff on at least 5 or 6 innings. I don't recall them sacrificing.

Last I heard, Travis was retired. Or at least not doing college ball anymore. He’s getting up there

Don’t know if he is doing college anymore. I do know we have not seen him at any home games this year. So I would suspect that is the case.

Yesterday he was blowing calls at a high school baseball game. So he is not fully retired yet.

Robe would have moved runners. I’ll let his record speak for itsself. We bunt the first time we get lead guy on and Vellion shot would have scored a run. That could have changed the momentum of the game.

Dan McDonald said Hargroder was on 2nd yesterday?

And that was the difference in the game. Anytime your opponent is getting the lead off man on base, especially with their pitcher is on, you are probably in for a long day.

[CajunT]

He was.

Jordan Alvarado sure looks like Travis to me. My eyes must be getting worse.

I agree 100%. Just trying to point out that they didn't need to bunt to beat us yesterday.

You could be right. This is what was on the box score. I only know a couple of them by sight.
