BB G2 Final: Louisiana 9, Texas St 5

[Turbine]

Um. I thought we agreed to wait to start a thread until AFTER the game because it worked last night.

LOL

Cancel Culture strikes fast.

32 wins with a thread (now 33) ... and 1 win without a thread.

"Shut down the threads"

My concern is that we are allowing late inning runs, Friday had a shut out til they eight, the score 3, then Saturday, 9-0 up to 8th, they score 3 and 2 in 9th. If it weren’t for huge leads, we could have lost due to late inning rallies by other team. I hope coaching gets this figured out

Friday, Nezuh gave up 2 runs in the 7th after 6 shutout innings. That isn’t abnormal. It was a great outing. Rawls gave up one in the 9th after a lead off double. That happens.

Yesterday, they obviously wanted Christie to finish the game to save other bullpen options for today so they left him out there even though he was getting knocked around a little. That’s smart coaching and kudos to Christie for gutting it out to help the team for the next day.

There’s nothing to figure out. Having the big leads allowed them to do things to help win todays game

Serious question, did you hesitate at all when they ran Christie out after the rain delay?

I’ll bite on this one. Christie should not have returned after the delay. Taking a stupid risk with his health. I don’t care how good he says he feels. Take the ball from him.

How long is too long?

Let the man answer. He’s the antagonist in this thread as he proactively called people out. He said it was smart coaching. I’d like to hear what he has to say?

I don’t know the details but with the weather what it was, and probably being sure the delay would be the minimum 30 minutes, I would venture to say that Christie likely stayed loose throwing a few pitches around the 15 minute mark, which makes it basically like being in the dugout for a long offensive inning.

This staff is VERY thin. Trying to get as much as you can out of the few guys that have been reliable is exactly what the staff should be doing.

Would you not agree?

Nope and it really doesn’t need an explanation.

So if the Cajuns score 5-6 runs in an inning and the opponent makes a couple of pitching changes, and the half inning lasts 35-40 minutes….they should automatically change pitchers.

Is that what you’re saying?

Last pitch of the top of the 7th was at the 1:55 mark. He was warming up for the 8th at the 3:08 mark. This isn’t time before you try to spin this. It’s the clock on the replay so that I can be precise. That is 1 hour and 13 minutes. No I don’t agree and it doesn’t really need an explanation.

I didn’t realize it was that long. And to answer the original question I was surprised he came back out. But again, if it was that long, it probably wasn’t a great idea. But that’s without knowing what he was doing during the break.

I’m glad he was able to do it though. I don’t have much confidence in anyone else that would have been used to finish that game. Even with a 9 run lead.
