Can we stop with the stupid knee jerk reactions
It's not knee-jerk reaction, it's a continuation of terrible ABs and approach at the plate and RCs approach to the O side of the game. We are not good at getting hits with RISP, advancing runners, and trying to play small ball to get a run across the plate or chip away at a deficit.
Vs Cal and frog, forget RISP or even a hit, we can't even get a F'ing sac fly with a guy on 3rd and less than 2 outs. It's beyond pathetic. Those two ABs we havd with a runner on 3rd and 1 out encapsulate RCs tenure here very well. He is a good pitching coach and that's it. You shouldn't have to win college baseball games with 2 or 3 runs.
I'm sorry, but this is just ridiculous. What small ball did you want to play after the leadoff double? Melton advanced the runner by putting the ball in play.
For the entire time under Sawyers, all we heard was complaints that we bunt too often, and try to nickel and dime teams instead of go for the big rally. Under Bolt, we are a much more free-swinging team, and people have generally enjoyed it this season. The stats actually support the free-swinging approach with most hitters at the plate. Live by it or die by it, but stop complaining just to complain.
As for the second part of your post, the days will never go back to the aluminum bat days of constant double digit scores by both teams. Get past that way of thinking.
