He arrived at UL from Teurlings Catholic as a walk-on in 2011, certain of one thing.

"I wanted to come here," Tyler Girouard said.

So he did.

Watching him play with my son at Teurlings, I was pretty sure he could hit at his level. I didn't know, though, that he'd do it this well. And his glove at 3rd has been awesome. Was pretty sure Carriere couldn't take his spot.

"I've grown up wanting to be a Ragin' Cajun," Girouard said. "A lot of people get lost in LSU kind-of-stuff, but I've always wanted to be a Cajun."

Thank you Tyler!

OK --I think I understand this "INSIDE HITTING" but can some really good baseball guy explain the INSIDE Deal as it was used extensively throughout the article????

Tyler has been awesome at 3rd this year, but Carriere has an absolute CANNON and can flash some leather as well. It's a good problem to have.

The difference defensively is minimal...and Carriere can't hit.

YET. Give Sam some time. There is an adjustment period.

You're right. I meant as of now. Obviously, as a fan I want his hitting to come around.
