BB G2: Louisiana 3, Georgia Southern 4

Plenty of things to analyze and question over those last couple innings. Do you let Schultz throw again to the guy who hit a rock a foot foul in his last at bat and has more RBIs than hits? Do you play 3B up to start T9? Do you bunt over Kimple? Those are all hindsight things. Frustrating but ultimately could get over. Damn laziness isn’t one of those things. Think I’ll just enjoy my Sunday at home pending lineup tomorrow.

I can’t imagine Rincones not being at 2B tomorrow. I also can’t imagine the players were very happy with the effort on that play in the 9th.

At this point it's rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, but if players don't care, why should fans.

From my point of view, I don’t think the players don’t care. At least all but one. And he may, but he sure as hell doesn’t show it.

Collectively i do think they care. But im sure its frustrating for those who continue to see some guys not producing. The second base position has been a revolving door and has produced a sub .200 batting average. Let that sink in. We have about 5 guys who at this point of the season is still hitting in .200 or below and several regulars hitting in the .240-.260 range. That is not very good. Bottom line is we are a few players short offensively, defensively, and on the mound. No other way to put it. Therefore, no matter how much effort we put out i dont know how we can expect to go on a serious run this year. If we win 2/3 on the weekends that would be a success

This team needs a throat choker real bad.

The problem is it only takes one not caring to tank a team. It becomes a virus. That's why taking care of that in the clubhouse is important. Good teams fix that ____ quick.

Remember all the hype about the offense going into this season? That was a joke.

Not very good, is being generous. We are at the bottom of the league offensively.

We run ourselves out of inning after inning. In many ways we do not "play the game the right way."

I just wish that when the good hitters they do have are up, that they wouldn’t continue to get the bat taken out of their hands with bunts and hit and runs EVERY time there’s a runner on base…and even more so when the bases are empty.

I get the “cause chaos” philosophy, but when your top of the order hitters are called on to bunt and/or hit and run in darn near half of their ABs…which normally gets them immediately behind in the count or gives away an out with one of your best guys at the dish…it’s just hard to agree with.

And I’d be perfectly fine NEVER seeing Carson Roccaforte squaring to bunt again.

The weird thing is that Marusak, Robertson, Debarge, and even Roccaforte and Kimple bunt a whole lot more than the guys at the bottom of the order. It’s baffling.

That said, sometimes that stuff works (see the first inning of todays game) but overkill is a real thing.

And there’s also the “hit a HR and drag bunt the following AB” thing. It’s almost clockwork.

They have done a nice job finding roles for the pitchers, in my opinion.

I thought hitting would improve and pitching would not. So far, the opposite has occurred. The team deserves credit for pitching stepping up. We don't get blown out on the mound. Pitching gives us a chance almost every game. which is all we can ask.

We die by a thousand cuts getting picked off, trying to make a generic single into a double, like tonight. We try to make something out of nothing offensively because the offense is so weak.

Totally agree. They gave away a full inning of outs on the bases today

Even though the first inning was fun to watch, and they scored 2 runs, the pitcher actually retired ONE hitter. The other outs were a sac bunt from the 3 hole hitter and a runner being put out on the bases.

Your remark made me think, I heard nobody talking in the parking lot as we walked to the car post game. Was strange.
