Idk about selfish or stupid....im just telling u that might not of been by accident. It was chirpy all night long. Im just glad to see a kid that has a set between his legs. We have lacked that for a few years. For those of you who are angry and ready to give up already....go home. We are in the process of changing the culture and that isnt gonna happen overnight. This program is going through an overhaul. It might get ugly, but it will get better. And tonight we took a step forward. I can promise u its gonna end up fine.

This is the type of crap you see on losing teams.

He dotted the guy with fb between the shoulder blades. It looked way intentional. Cost the game either way.

There was a lot of chirping. We need to stay under control and play to win. Not plunk guys that win one run games. On track for 10 wins.

If that is the case, we intentionally put all three on to move the winning run to third. Anyone who believes those were the right moves must be a Democrat.

Yup. Realistic goal at this point is to achieve a winning season.

And im not doubting or questioning the fact. Not scoring a run after the 4th cost us the game. And giving up crooked number in the bottom half of that inning didnt help either.

He wasn’t running his mouth, he was believing in his guys. If he doesn’t believe in them the why would they? Anybody that thought we were just gonna fun through everyone to an at large is delusional. He is rebuilding a program. We are returning what 6 players? 2-3 pitchers? Everything is still in front us

I was not believing the intentional walks. How do you defend against intentional walks?

The lineup went into a trance the last 7 innings

We didn’t.

Let this sink in...we have gotten ALMOST zero contribution from returning hitters from last years team. Breaux and Windy are the only guys who have done anything to speak of. 5 guy needs to show up

Hit by pitch
Wild pitch
Intentional walk
Intentional walk
Wild pitch/pass ball
Game over

Looked like a JV game, except for the I-walks.

This right here makes you lose all credibility. He said before the season that this team was taking him to the CWS. He has to look back at that and forward to his 2-8 record in complete disbelief. These circumstances has him pressing so much they don't stand a chance at this juncture. Time to put all that behind him and starting tomorrow coaching like he can with what he has got and quit all the crazy and silly ____e.

Check your baseball bro. No. Absolutely never walk the bases loaded on purpose. Did you forget that baseball has such a thing as passed balls and errors? It's an imperfect game and you don't give anyone the advantage of scoring from 3rd base unless it's Barry ____ing Bonds in his 70HR season. In which case, he was cheating with roids. Not some Joe Blow from Sam Houston State. I saw Deggs quote in Foote's article saying he didn't want that guy to beat him. Have some faith in your damn pitcher.

Cantrelle should've been bunting front the first pitch in his at-bat. Leave the ____ing ego at the door and win the damn game. Move the runner over.

I guess you’ll have to throw Deggs in with that lot who didn’t expect this.

what coach, with the history already in place that this program has, doesnt go to his first press conference and say “we going to make it to omaha?” If he doesnt...then i dont want him.

Behind closed doors in 2019 Billy Napier told most of us we would struggle never made it public though ... Behind closed doors Deggs also kept saying we will be going to Omaha this year

How can I go on living knowing I lost credibility with you. What will my life become now I just don't know. Maybe some of you need to revisit those statements to refresh your memory About Omaha and the program

Deggs has lost a couple games this season with his calls and I’m not the only one thinking it.

I’m in a huge group text with some former players and everyone is saying the same thing, Deggs is over-coaching right now and looks completely lost.

It’s a shame for his players because they deserved to win this game.

While we’re at it, Cantrelle should’ve been bunting front the first damn pitch in his at-bat. Leave the ____ing ego at the door and win the damn game. Move the runner over.

We will lose fans fast because our fan base is not stupid, they understand baseball and won’t put up with boneheaded coaching decisions.

Do a better job, Coach. It’s not even close to respectful.

So...you telling me when the count gets to 3-1 on the best hitter in the lineup that you are still gonna pitch to him? With 2 outs? In a fastball count? With a guy on deck that had struck out 3 times already? We cant be talking about the same situation right?

Dude, right before this season started he publicly said he was taking this team to Omaha.

Expectations based on something that happened one time decades ago. Coastal will be in the same boat a few years from now. Caught lightening in a bottle. Doesn’t hurt to strive for it again, but look at what we have on the field. Mostly same players we had last year, who didn’t even sniff the NCAA tournament. Robe, Deggs, or name a coach. Ain’t happening this year. Deggs said what the fans wanted to here after a lousy season and Robe’s passing. As any coach would.
