    Landry wouldn't had a ITP HR is Godwin wouldn't have held him at 3rd during the indiana series

    But Gorilla Ball is dead thanks in part to the NCAA, putting some restrictions on bat sizes. HR's have been decreasing ever since 1998. LSU kind got the ball rolling on that since CWS games were getting ridiculous with the HRs produced

    Gorilla ball won't be back unless the gorilla bats come back.

    IMO, a triple play is the most exciting play in baseball, but it would also fall under your "unicorn sightings" exception.

    not necessarily. didnt we have two in the first game against indiana?

    edit: i was talking about triples, not triple plays. i need to learn to read more closely.

    zero chance due to bats as previously mentioned. LSU will be lucky to have much more than Larson had in one year, 40, much less 188. they wont get close to half that.

    :hihi::hihi: maybe tomorrow we can get a tom emanski type breakdown with fred mcgriff.

    agree.

    disagree.

    clearly

    ummm, im gonna guess no. :lol::lol: but we did have 2 triples which are quite more frequent.



    edit: i disagree that homeruns are boring but I dont necessarily think triples are the most exciting.

    sometimes a single is just exciting depending on the situation, such as adrian antonini on an almost-single getting thrown out rom centerfield.

    now thats exciting.
