I think Coastal did themselves a tremendous disservice by traveling all the way to Omaha, NE to play 2 midweek games directly in between weekend series against UL and Troy. And then having to go to USM.

Thats a lot to ask…and they’re paying the price for it.

Pretty sure Deggs knows what we need to do today. This is evidenced by his adjustment of base running tactics from the '23 season to today. Realized the policy (stealing every base and waving through everyone) had greater liability than gain.

Saying we can't slug our way out, let's see. The small ball regime has consistency only when it is not the predicted game plan (which Troy is probably expecting.)
