If you are like me and can’t get enough of Jose Torres, come see him play for the Cane Cutters this summer at Fabacher Field
I would like to go, but the simple mistake of referring to the hometown team as “ULL” doesn’t sit well with me. These mistakes should not be made. They should know better.
When does the season start?
Point well made. I just sent a text to the owners and it should be addressed.Quote:

In coming freshman, Mark Collins is also playing for the Cane Cutters.
There are also some locals that are now playing Juco or Lower Division that possibly could develop to become Louisiana players. There may be as many as 5 players currently on the Louisiana roster who have played in past summers with the Cane Cutters.
Thank you CajunVic! I appreciate that.Quote:

They are working on it right now. Realize that just like they borrow baseball players from all over, they have interns working here behind the scenes that are also from all over and not from here.Quote:

Trust me, he understands and this is a great partnership between the Cane Cutters and Louisiana. It's not and excuse but will be addressed.
Thanks. I appreciate the explanation.Quote:

Here is the Home Schedule
I work with Coach Dukes, and he can't say enough good things the UL guys who played for the Cane Cutters last year. Always seems very excited any time he mentions his "summer job".
I just scrolled through the cane cutters Facebook page I didn’t see any Cajuns listed.
Thanks.Quote:

Some players are away from home enough during the school year and don’t want to be away from home for the summer.
Some can’t afford to be in those leagues (although almost all expenses are paid, they do not usually may not pay transportation to and there and we all know there are extra costs associated with not being home;
Some schools don’t have the funding to assist their players to get to the Cod or Alaska;
Some are coming off injury and as a result do not qualify to play in the more elite leagues
That being said, the easiest players for the Cane Cutters to attract are those with local ties.
Hose is a big get.
This is a thread to support the Acadiana Cane Cutters as an organization funded by a husband and wife who are aTm graduates, but love the game of baseball and use their own money to provide great local baseball entertainment in the summer. They are also a very good supporter of the Cajuns.
Note that the league does not allow more than four players from any college to be on the team
I also ask that, if you so desire, go out to the park, have a couple of beers and some ball park food and support this great organization. As a result of my relationship with the owners, I do know that way more years than not, the venture dips into their pockets instead of puts money in their pockets.
C’mon, let’s make this a great experience for the kids playing here in Lafayette this summer and go out and have fun with one of the hardest playing players who just so happen to be a Louisiana Ragin Cajun . . . Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose . . . let’s bring this cheer by the fans to Fabacher
I see where Collins photo is now up with an indication that he plays for UL.
Maybe they intend to make a splash with Jose a little closer to opening day.
CajunVic didn't your son pitch for them a few summers ago?
Especially now, with free transfer without having to sit a year, Cane Cutter games provide easy scouting opportunities to find a prospect playing right here in Lafayette to poach.
and why I posted that I hope the local pitcher that plays at Belhaven has as much success this year as the local pitcher from the past had that played at Belhaven who has pitched here.Quote:

Help the good guys, come see a few Cajuns and probably a few more Cajun prospects right here in good ole Lafayette.
If you are in BR, you can enjoy the CC when they play the Roughnecks.
If in LC area, TCL will have a new team this year - Lake Charles Gumbo Gators.
