Ragin' Cajuns baseball ranked No. 1 in Collegiate Baseball poll

[NewsCopy]

The UL baseball team moved up to No. 4 and No. 1 in two major baseball polls Monday after a sweep of Georgia State over the weekend.

The team moved up from No. 6 to No. 1 in the Collegiate Baseball poll and from No. 5 to No. 4 in the Baseball America poll.

The rest of the story.

This is a VERY big deal! This, though, will put an even bigger target on our backs.

As huuuuge as this is, I want to be #1 in a couple of months!

[CajunEXPRESS]

How long is it good to be number one? Lots of pressure to retain that rank, like you said a target on our backs, BUT also makes the players used to playing under high stress.

I'm thinking we may start seeing some Friday starters in mid week games for some of the teams we'll be playing.

I would not be surprised.

[MelRock]

How many times has a Friday night starter stopped us this year, yes just once. Let them throw whoever they want, it won't make a difference with this team.

It will only prepare us for the games that really count.

I would not change a thing.

[CajunStros]

I don't see Robe pulling a Southeastern and throwing either of of our two (or three) ace pitchers on any of the remaining midweek games. Especially with the depth we have in Boutte, Plitt, Wilson, etc.

Edit: was this in reference to other teams throwing their ace against us?

If so, disregard previous.

I'm rocking zombie status these days.

CB isn't even legit. Just like Baseball America and all the other feaux ranking systems out there. The only straight up, legit ranking system is the Coaches Poll. Voted by a selection committee of college baseball head coaches.

Your whole basket is with the people who don't watch any games but the one they are (or will be) involved in?

Yea, I'm sure you said the same thing anytime LSUA&MC was ranked in any other poll.
