Louisiana vs Middle Tenn / Game 3

[RaginScotsman]

I missed every game this weekend. What the heck happened to these guys? I thought Middle was like a .500 team.

Starting pitching was a bit off...then bullpen came in each game and made things worse. Lack of timely hitting. Only 4.3 runs scored per game. We made Middle look waaaaay better than they actually are.

Hopefully, we bounce back Tuesday night. Keep in mind, though, that the Lions have won something like 7 straight against us...so that won't be easy.

A little over 4 runs a game in a three game series in a small ballpark is NOT going to get you many wins. With that said, our bullpen was high school.

And our starting pitchers, other than Wilson, were equally as bad as the bullpen. Team lost all 3. I believe I am correct in saying that more runs were scored on the starters than any relief pitcher. Looked like a high school team across the board this weekend. We had chances all weekend to score runs as well and couldn't get it done. Also several more errors in the field this weekend. Looks like the team bought in to the hype of how good and strong they were supposed to be in conference. Hopefully this is a wake up across the board; players(all), coaches(all) and fans(all) alike.

We need to quit sniffing the Top25. Every time we do the fumes seem to make us woozy and we play like crap.

You're right, but there is no way I'm going to stop sniffing glue again.

This is what happens when u step up in compitition. And MT is starting to get it going. Bad combination for us. Are we better than last year...absolutely. Are we there yet...no.

[Boomer]

Have we beaten S'Eastern in the last 5 years???

I didn't think we would go up to Middle and take 3...but I would have bet money that we wouldn't get swept.

Let's see it this team is solid enough to pull itself up and go take one in Hammond...or if it will wilt up and go get its butt kicked like last year's team.

Hope I'm wrong but I don't see us beating southeastern. And the WKU won't be no slouch either they sweep middle last weekend.

I know we have a pretty good record, but lets not get carried away. We haven't exactly played a tough schedule thus far. I'm not saying we are not good, but we have only beat 2 teams that currently have a winning record - 1 of which is 1 game above 500 - and the other is a few games above 500 but has played an easier schedule than we have.

All I am saying is before we say this team shouldn't lose to Middle, lets get a few weekends into conference and see how they are doing.

Agreed, hopefully this weekend was just an aberration of sorts. They may not be as good as we thought heading into the weekend but I also don't think they are as bad as they played this weekend. They really had not been tested on the road outside of USM so hopefully this was simply growing pains. A win against SLU would be a good way to right the ship!

The bullpen was bad all weekend. Dont get me wrong we didnt hit a lick, but the bullpen gave up 17 runs this weekend.

We got exposed on a few things this weekend all at the same time. Knew this stretch was gonna be tough...getting swept isn't good at all. Hopefully we regroup quickly
