Baseball Rankings - 4/7

[Dad04]

Didn't seem to bother any of the pitchers in the other 24 innings. Non-issue.

Maybe Troy fans can use that excuse if they ever get Pain Trained again.

Who got spanked worse, tooLAME, or Troy? I am thinking Troy, Lamers are feeling the squeeze we are putting them under on all fronts, women basketball next, but we did beat them in that too.

ULM. Their coach actually got fired a week after we dismantled his baseball team

If you look at Kendall Rogers' chat, it seems like the Tulane fans found their way to voice their concerns over bats being "rolled"

[jllanclos]

You may have not been able to tell on the screen,,but the mound was higher than ours. Some guys had trouble finding the release point. Matt had trouble with it from the start-- that is all it was. Bazar had some trouble also but threw a little harder and downhill so he was hard to hit. Others could not find a good release point and left the ball up-- thus balls flying out of the park.

No need to panic

Isn't the conference tournament in Troy? I'd like to win that thing, so I hope we can figure out how to pitch from that high up.

The S-BC baseball tournament is in Mobile this year.

Comment From Guest
There are rumors of teams starting to "roll and shave" there bats for more offense pop. Is this becoming more and more of an issue during the bbcor era? Several coaches in the SEC have been out spoken against this ididcating it is a problem. One team that comes to mind is hitting >1.20 HR/Game with these BBCOR bats. According to sports science show I saw this past weekend on TV about college baseballs new BBCOR bats and their effects on offense, the average HR/Game prior to BBCOR era was .85 HR/Game per team during the gorilla ball era and the average BBCOR era was .36 HR/Game/Team. Thats a huge difference. It just doesnt make sense some teams are hitting higher than the avg (>.85) of the old gorilla bats in HRs/Game with these new weak BBCOR bats unless they shave them. Thoughts?

Kendall Rogers: I have not heard of this, and I usually am told about this stuff pretty quickly. My guess is you're talking about a powerful offense that likely is going against vastly inferior pitching.

Sun Belt Fan (Arkansas): I watched Louisiana Cajuns on TV Saturday. Was very impressed all around. Who in the top 10 can compete with UL in a series? Who can lineup with them pitching and hitting? Who has a closer like UL? That guy is huge and throws gas.

Aaron Fitt: Well, I think the top 6 teams are all pretty legit, complete, balanced teams. Virginia certainly has the kind of offensive talent to compete with the Cajuns, and even better arms, and a hard-throwing closer who is the real deal in Nick Howard. The Cajuns are the most offensive team in the country right now, and they do everything well, but I like all of those teams in the top 6.

Matt (Lafayette): When was the last time your #3 team in the country lost series openers to Eastern Illinois and Western Kentucky?

Aaron Fitt: So 30-3 isn't good enough for you, huh? If they were really the No. 3 team in the country, they'd be 33-0!

Comparing the #1 BBCOR home run team to the average "gorilla ball" era team is apples and oranges. The analogy should be #1 BBCOR team to #1 gorilla ball era team.

Rogers called BS on him anyway.

Comment From Sun
UL killed Troys pitching this weekend. UL won with 2 midweek/ bullpen guys, Baranik and closer Bazar. Their offense is deadly, what top 10 team can match up to them

Kendall Rogers: Sun, Virginia and Florida State absolutely can match up with ULL, but no doubt, the Cajuns are a unique challenge to say the least with the combination of some elite pitching and elite offense. It's like a broken record by now, but the big key this season has been the quick transition of Bazar, and of course, Carson Baranik.
