While it seems it’s 50-50 on stealing abase, I’d rather let things play out rather than gamble on stealing a base and getting an out, then shorting the inning. NO PATIENCE.
I keep hearing, Cajuns play aggressive baseball, but our aggressiveness is costing us extended inning and possibly more runs. This is frustrating.

And yet somehow we are 21-9. :;

Guys, I get it, everyone like baseball differently. The main thing is you like baseball.

2nd inning: 1 out double, runner gets thrown out trying to steal 3rd base. Next batter hits a double to centerfield wall.

Veillion a fifth year senior getting picked off first base for the third out with bases loaded. Absolutely awful. No excuse. No argument. Dude would stay at the hotel for the next two games. It’s that bad.

Oh really? In two games, Veillon is 3-7 (.429) with a homer and 5 rbi. His on base pct is .500. He is slugging .857 and has scored three runs.

In addition, he reached into the stands to turn a foul ball into an out and made a play in LF that was Sportscenter worthy.

Oh, and he's stolen two bases.

I could add my opinion about your post, but Veillon's performance speaks more loudly than I could.

You made a really good point earlier that we as fans only remember the bad outcomes. In this case it is abundantly clear.

I am starting to believe that it is human nature that we remember the bad. You know the stove is hot, so you don't touch it. Talking to coaches, they remember every loss but rarely talk about the wins. Remembering the bad and what hurts is what keeps us alive.
