Top of the 8th: Ott in to pitch...let's see how this goes as we only have a 3-run lead. -Single -Walk, runners at 1st & 2nd -HBP, bases loaded -Fly out, run scores (1 out) -Single, run scores, runners at 1st & 2nd -Fly out (2 outs) -Walk, bases loaded again -Single, run scores, bases loaded -Ranaudo to pitch for Ott...WOW! I lost the signal so have no idea what's happening. MSU has scored in 7 of 8 innings. Manny went from Ott-some to Ott-ful quick! MSU 12-16-2 LSU 12-14-3
Why is Ranaudo pounding his chest and jumping around after a strikeout...he just hit a batter to force in the go ahead run. Anthony...your ERA is 9.09!
OK, i don't know what the hell is wrong with Mainieri. how in the hell are you going to take bert out of the game when he's pitching well enough to win -- with a lead -- and put in a washed-up matty ott? i understand that he thinks that ott is still his closer and best pitcher, but the reality is that he is far from what he was a year ago. so what does he do? he then puts in AR!? really!? really!? friggin' CPM is making some the dumbest coaching decisions i think i have ever seen at LSU. :angryfire winning 12-9 with bert seemingly in control and he tries to alter the situation by changing pitchers... :dis: i'm sorry, this guy isn't making this season any easier for his team. at all.
