LSU's bullpen is just not very deep if Eyanson is warming up right now.
Do you have an example of what a deep college bullpen should look like after 4 games in 4 days?
Tenn used Doyle to close their game and ole miss also went to their ace last night. If guys are due for a bullpen session anyway you might as well let them throw an inning or two if your season is on the line. Good coaching there and good management of the staff. Must be nice to have an elite coach. It's amazing how well coached teams seem to "get all the breaks" isn't it
Tennessee probably cost themselves a legit shot at Arkansas, who would have been favored even if Doyle was at full strength. Now the lack of a deep pitching rotation is going to bite them in the butt. However, I understand and agree with coach Vitello's thought process of everything is irrelevant if you don't win your regional.
From his many interviews, it is obvious this is not one of his favorite teams. Watch the post game Saturday interview where he says UT's starting pitcher's best days are ahead of them and they will not be while he is at Tennessee and the dude was sitting 2 feet away from him when he said it. He continually harps how this team needs to learn to play as a team and not individuals. The huge difference between this year and last is that he LOVED last year's team and made it clear throughout the year that it was one of, if not, his favorite team ever. He said they were easily coachable, complete team players, and they never believed they were out of a game...EVER...even down 3 to FSU bottom of the 9th.
