Emily Smith starts off game 2 with a bang. 2-0 Cajuns.
Emily Smith crushes a 2 run HR to give the Cajuns an early lead, 2-0.
Emily Smith and finally yes Credeur comes thru!!!!! Let’s go!
3-1 Cajuns bottom of the 2nd.
Noble pitching.
Here comes Wheeler
3-3 after 3.
Cajuns struggle to hold leads.
That stuff just now cannot happen. That should have been an out and end of 4th. Bad defense continues to haunt this team.
Instead it’s an error and a run.
You also can’t hit a batter on an 0-2 count with 2 outs which is the run.
Errors cannot have them!Quote:

Pretty much just lack of talent. Not many Atheltic defensive plays. Poor pitching, mistakes, and errors.
O well. Stuff to do. Not fun to watch.
We really don't have any one that we can rely on. It's a crap shoot at best. Going to have to hit the transfer portal hard. This game in now over, we are now down by 4 as I type, We don't have lineup/talent to stage a rally.Quote:

Habetz is going to have to hit the portal hard in the offseason and recruit hard as hell the high school players!
Her first high school players are still two seasons away. The portal will be the priority. Folks better pony up some money to get good players.Quote:

Bats have come around a bit so that’s positive. Difficult to be too excited when you can’t rely on putting up some 0s.
8 runs needs to be enough to win.
Yeap. 8 runs and you still lose. Signs of poor pitching. Which it is.Quote:

Today in my mind was a game that needed to be won. Delbrey isnt going to pitch this season and is about 80% ready with no pain. I believe Hoover is ready to go but at this point in the season it isn't worth burning a year on her. If both of those girls regain their former self them the Cajuns will be really good at the top of the pitching rotation for next season. I believe at least 2 portal pitchers at the minimum will be brought in.Quote:

I bought 2 tickets knowing that I wouldn't make many if any at all this season as well as joined the NIL club to support her. I think we will be ok. Glassco leaving was worse case for us as players could leave with us not being able to recruit the portal when most players where available.
I was still holding on to hope but these past 2 games have really killed that. Like it’s been mentioned, going to have to win the tournament to get into the post season.
At best a .500 record going in to April and large enough sample size to understand what this team is working with. It is a bitter pill to swallow.
Conference play is kind of the shocker. Maybe because we’re not used to losing more than 3 or so games. I thought they navigated the non conference schedule pretty well, but were very average in the Belt.
