The Book 2007 Ragin' Cajun Baseball

I was informed by one of the Team Dads, who is on top of such matters, that it is the responsibility of the school to nominate players. I would assume this responsibility falls to the Baseball SID. But I could be wrong.

Brian,

In any way, other than Jay stating that the SIDs are the voters, is this a political thing where they want to "spread the wealth"? Or, does this usually follow the line that the most deserving does get the nod? In other words, is this unusual (in the Sunbelt)?

Weill it sounds like this guy was deserving too. Did the SBC miss it? Yes I think so. Did they miss it badly? No.

Well, we disagree here ... for all of the reasons I outlined earlier.

They both had great weekends. You have to remember, the SBC is still trying to promote its entire league. When members of the press read the weekly award winners, the more parity you have, the better the overall appearance of the talent in the sunbelt, as opposed to one guy or one team having all the talent. I'm sure farquar will get his fair share of awards this season. I'm not worried.

It sounds to me like the SBC proper does not have any role here. It is the Baseball SIDs from the respective schools that decide the winner.

In any event, with respect to your comment on parity ... how many combined Pitcher of the Week and Player of the Week awards do you think the Cajuns have been awarded this season (seven weeks of awards)?

I think that is giving the Baseball SIDs too much credit (politcial/spread the wealth). I doubt they spend much time on this. I know in some instances nominations were omitted due to forgetfulness.

Justin Robicheaux, according to Tony on the post game show yesterday.

Hey can someone tell me if there is a baseball game on Friday nite. We're going to be in town and would love to see one while we are there.

Who got the win last night?

<<<< Originally Provided by Zeebart21
Da.mn, Louisiana holds on for an 11-6 victory! Lil Robe staked us to an 8-0 lead only to have an epic meltdown bring it to 8-6 in the top of 9th. Cajun bats bring it, scoring 3 more for the final!
Nice!

You need to pull your nose out of the lawbooks after 6 pm, son! Lil Robe was credited w/ the win, I believe!

Who got the win last night?

Robichaux.

He pitched 3 innings of shut out ball.

[Turbine]

A week ago I wondered how a reliever can be picked the winner when he comes in with a multiple run lead and the lead diminishes while on the mound. Especially when he pitches roughly 2/3 the innings of the starter. . . . Here was an answer.

A starting pitcher must complete 5 full innings to get a win. If I remember correctly, Wilborn left with two outs in the 5th, one out shy of qualifying for the W. The win then falls to Lil Robe, who pitched well enough to deserve his W.

Now this week I was wondering how a 3 inning pitcher gets the win?

This morning I asked Stevie P to explain the difference on how game winners were picked . . . after all "baseball is the perfect game"

This week is almost the opposite of last week wherein Justin starts, pitches shut out ball but only pitches 3 innings and gets the win.

Steve's answer was and I am condensing and paraphrasing; if the number of innings to be pitched is pre-announced, a pitcher who pitches only one inning can get the win.

The only caveat to the five inning rule is if the coach, before the game, designates that the starter will only go a set number of innings. Farquhar got a few wins last year starting mid week and pitching just three innings, because it was decided before the game that he would go only three.

The Cajuns are in Miami for FIU this weekend, so no go for you.

Game is out of town at FIU. The Cajun Football banquet will be held Friday night, tickets are available at Lafayette Motors in advance, no walk up sales. Some notable former Cajuns will include Ike Taylor of the Pittsburg Steelers, and Brian Mitchell now retired.
