I can’t sugar coat what I have seen and like the old saying goes you are what your record says you are. We are average at best in my opinion. However I do think the program will rebound and will only project up from this point on. I also think everything will be fully evaluated from the coaching staff, to the players, to the support staff, etc. In Coach Aly I trust. Let's geaux and win the conference tournament!Quote:

I am not going to do the research but the Cajuns are probably the only team in D1 with zero homeruns from the outfielders. If you want to talk about the returners only then you have to factor in that most athletes make the biggest jump from year one to year two under a position coach and that simply has not happen as only one veteran hitter across the board has improved. Everyone else is down. Every hitter that has left the program has also improved.Quote:

These statistics are very concerning, and the fact that they are virtually universal among returning players makes me think that it is a coaching issue more than a player issue.Quote:

I don't know if Glasco has them at TT
Shellie was the hitting coach last season.Quote:

Just ask him he will tell you that. Try to stay in your lane with baseball topics where you have a little clout.Quote:
