Robe may have left him a little long, but if we make the plays on defense, it's 5-3 good guys going to the 9th

I don't mind it as much first weekend. He's putting these guys through the ringer to see what they're made of.

I agree. Got to season these guys up at some point. Not to mention he wasn't in that long and his team mates did nothing to back him up. Pitching was far from the only thing that went wrong in that inning.

6-4-3 DP. Down to the last out

Groundout to 2nd ends it

Nothing hurts worse then having a win and giving it away....

Hopefully we won't have many of those games this year. SC couldn't have been in a worse situation after playing so many innings this weekend, and we let them off the hook. They go home 3-0.

It sucks to lose a game like this!

Compounding mistakes will eat you alive.

This is not all that bad. If this group has any guts, they'll remember this day for the rest of the season. A teachable moment early in the season doesn't bother me one bit. We'll see what kind of character the 2012 baseball team has tomorrow.

I agree. This experience has an opportunity to mature them quickly... if they choose to work in that direction.

These are fixable mistakes. What bothers me is when u get to the back end of a season and look back at games u should of won...this will be one of them. However, the sun will come up tomm and will be another day for the youngsters to get some dirt under there cleats.

Pretty basic mistakes. As Tony noted in the postgame they tried to speed things up when it headed downhill instead of just playing the game. The abilitity is there, now we get to see if the leadership develops to pull it all together.

not impressive...

Agree to a degree

A six-run eighth inning was the difference as the Ragin' Cajuns baseball team dropped an 8-5 decision to Santa Clara on Sunday afternoon in the CenturyLink Bobcat Invitational at Bobcat Stadium in San Marcos, Texas. Cord Cockrell was tabbed with ...

The rest of the story

Great game against WSU. winning on a RBI single by Nichols making it a 1-0 game. Than lost to Santa Clara playing little league ball in the eight after taking a 5-2 lead. OK we are still young. Hope we grow up. Seems that we are young every year.

There is a difference between being young and inexperienced like we are this year, and being just inexperienced. big diffrence
