The Book 2007 Ragin' Cajun Baseball

[CajunRed]

Cajuns fall to NSU 2-1 tonight. NSU pitcher gives up only 3 hits on the night.



Cue those who will question our hitting as a team.

Well, yes, let's talk hitting. Seems the same hitting problems that have often surfaced over the last couple of years are here again. I believe we've scored 1 run in the last 20 innings.

UL's baseball team saw its offensive woes continue Tuesday, and Northwestern State's Heath Hennigan took full advantage. The Demons' sophomore righthander made his first decision of the year an impressive one, as he handcuffed the Ragin' Cajuns on three hits in a 2-1 NSU victory at Brown-Stroud Field. The Cajuns (11-3) were coming off a 1-0 loss at Southern Mississippi on Sunday, and have now lost three of four after a 10-game season-opening win streak. Hennigan (1-0) did not allow a Cajun leadoff hitter to reach base in any inning, and UL only strung together two hits once. that came in the third inning when Tim Santiago laced a two-out double down the right-field line and Xavier Alexander followed with a bouncing single through the left side. That tied the game 1-1, but UL had only two other runners reach base in the final six innings. Scott Hawkins reached on a one-out error in the fifth and was caught stealing, and Kolin Hatfield singled with two outs in the eighth and was left stranded.

Not sure what to tell you. Maybe the alumni association is trying to trade you to the other side.

... for a player to be named later!

Here's the original email sent by the alumni association. I'm planning to go, so does anyone know the right answer?

I am paraphrasing from the SEBaseball.com Daily Dose ... A scout told Mark Etheridge that the Cajuns are really good. The scout had another scout tell him that they are the best team he has seen. That they are SEC good and have one of the deepest pitching staffs.

Yes perhaps you could access the article and post it for us.

Thanks for the info. Brian. Keep it coming.

I think this is one of the problems with college baseball not being more popular. I am not a member of SEbaseball or of Baseball America, and I don't have the money or the time to spend on the services. It makes it hard for fans of the game to keep up.

Who is the SunBelt ace that is injured. I hope it is not Moody?

I feel your pain. It's not as easy to stay on top of college baseball as it should be. But Sebaseball.com is really cheap, something like $6 a month. And it's very much worth it.

Indeed. There is also a lot of free content and it is a good repository for useful links.

I will say that if SEBaseball.com did not have a subscriber model and charge for some of its services, it would not (could not) exist. And that would not be a good thing for College Baseball.

Kal claimed that LSU is afraid to play UL. I pointed out that LSU had crushed UL by 20 points the last time they played. In fact, LSU has beaten UL badly every time they have played in the last couple of years. SO my point was and is, why would LSU be afraid to play a school it crushes so easily? There is no logic in Kals claim, other than Kal made it up to make LSU look bad. HE LIED. simply put, he lied about LSU playing or not playing UL.

so why are we the only baseball team in louisiana not on lsu's baseball schedule? Are we not as good as stetson or lipscomb? We are only 50 minutes away, igeuss thats too far for the baby bengals to travel on a tuesday?

I do indeed believe that we have a good team. But as a fan that is not very knowledgeable, I do have a question about how good we are. On paper, I see that we indeed only have three losses to our 11 wins. But, when one of those losses is to a team like Northwestern State, how good can we really be? Maybe NSU is better than I give them credit for, but my perception is that they are a team that we shouldn't lose to.

So was it just one of those rare hickups that all really good teams experience? Your 2 cents would be appreciated.

God Bless
