Never trusting any preseason hype out of this program again. Last year Martinez was supposed to be the next great Cajuns pitcher. This year McGehee was supposed to have made humongous strides and be a top Saturday arm. The bullpen was supposed to be deep and talented. I could go on and on about what was supposed to happen and shame on me for not taking any of it with a grain of salt.

We keep on waiting for something to click but in reality it’s long past time to face the music. This is a bad baseball team. They may be young in a lot of areas, but they are not competitive at a good D1 level.

I don’t care who we are playing. We are about to get 10 run ruled in a midweek game. Ouch!

No 10 run rule right?

Cajun pitchers WALKED 12 AND HIT 4 BATTERS.

The team is on pace for 23 wins.

Get swept by mcneese state. Lose to southeastern and get run ruled by lsu who by the way would have scored 30 if they played 9. How fkn embarrassing. This team will be lucky to win 30 games. We may be lucky to go 500 the rest of the way.

Almost got beat by Southern

When we hired Gunner, I was on board 100%. Looking around now I’m wondering if this is a case of someone being able to do something but not necessarily being able to teach it. This might be the worst staff I’ve witnessed as a Cajuns fan, and it’s the same story every damn night. Free pass after free pass. Is it the system? Did we miss evaluate an entire roster full of guys in recruiting? How can you trust the evaluation capabilities of a staff who looked at this bunch and thought pitching would be the strength of the team?

And 11 hits. I got in my car leaving a meeting and caught the TSAB post game. Their coach was very gracious, referred to “a few walks”. Never caught final score until I got home. Dang…

Might be not enough age separation, along with not having a D1 coaching background.

I am not sure this coaching staff is the answer. We talked a good game, but that's about it. This is not a very good team, doubt if we finish .500 at this point.

Cade Arrambide and Jared Jones each homered in a nine-run, first-inning and No. 8-ranked LSU added eight runs late to claim a 17-4 win over the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns on Tuesday at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.

Martinez is a great pitcher. He's got a 12.8 K/9 at Arizona State, and has cut his walk rate by over half.

It's only year 2, but so far it definitely looks like Gunner Leger is not some savant developer of pitching prospects.

I’m thinking our athletic budget situation also lends itself to hiring someone like Gunner as the pitching coach. We can’t exactly afford our pick of the litter. So you bring in a guy like Gunner, who while young and inexperienced, was also an All American and whose dad has been a respectable college coach. You take the chance, and hope it pays off big till a peer program hires him as their head coach.

Our current staff has recruiting experience from pearl river, SLU and Nicholas combined. That’s it, maybe Talbot and Wells could recruit a little better than they got credit for.

To answer why Hermann started on the mound. The staff has done this many times. Their theory is that it's his bullpen day so he's basically getting his normal work in but doing it with live at bats.

Looking pretty bad for spring sports this year.

I understand the thought process but bullpen days don’t include stress pitches. Every single pitch last night was a stress pitch for Herrmann. Let’s just call it what it is. Deggs wanted to throw his 1B to win the game.

I would normally agree but a guy who is battling injury/inflamation and is so important to the weekend, I rest him midweek.

At least we didnt wear louisiana jerseys or UL hats

What does a respectful football coach have to do with the ability of his son to teach pitching?
