UL @ UTA - G3

[CajunRage]

It was 100% a team loss. We average nearly 9 runs a game and teams simply give up before the last out. Not today.

Give Boutte a call and tell him this loss was on him. Bullpen meltdown, period. We scored enough to win. We pitched for 8 innings well enough to win. Don't know how it's a team loss when you have 2 walks, 2 hit by pitches, a wild pitch and a couple balls off the wall in the 9th.


Edit: Not saying it's reason for panic. You have off games and we still did enough for 8 1/2 innings to win. Not faulting anyone but Milhorn and Bazar for this loss. Let's bounce back tomorrow and finish strong.

You are right.

I firmly believe that you grow through failure and not success ... if these guys come back tougher because of the loss it was worth it.

We have to have someone in the 9th if we really want the big prize.

We average 9 runs per game. They average 5 runs per game, but we scored enough to win? Please check the scoreboard again. I think it still says UTA 5 UL 4.

We both had an average day pitching and they had an average day hitting, but we did not. They won.

Really? We should just put a 9 on the scoreboard every game. If they average more, they win. If not, we win. Every game is different. We scored enough to win this game. Get 3 outs in the ninth and the game is over. If you think we are going to score 9 runs in every post season game, you're insane. Are you going to blame it on the hitters there too?

Yeah really. People like you think you are watching major league baseball. These are college kids pitching to metal bats. This happens in college baseball. it is not as easy as it looks. This is why Robe is still stealing bags with a five run lead. Ever notice that? Have a nice day.

I'm so infuriated at being 36-5! How in the world can we have lost 5 games?! That is unacceptable. We, as fans, must not tolerate this level of mediocrity. It's what did us in in the past. We've played 41 games and we already lost 5? That is pathetic. I'm so disgusted. I'm not keeping up with UL baseball until the CWS national championship game... and if we're not in it... it's time to FIRE ROBE. 5 losses and it isn't even May? We suck.

Haha. You're an idiot. Milhorn and Bazar would tell you the same thing this morning.

Of course you werent at any of the games-- so I will let you in on something-- UTA played better-- starting pitchers pitched well and they hit the crap out of the ball-- than anyone thinks. They hit every right hander that went out there-- some worse than others but every one. They didnt fare so good against lefties.
1) The TEAM wins or loses-- not a single player
2) Both the players you want to "blame" pitched 3 days in a row-- that is ridiculis-- and Robe should know better.

Give both of them credit for stepping up when asked if they could go.
Blame Robe- he decides who goes in or not-- or blame the team if you MUST blame someone-- but not the guys that went out for 3 straight days and tried to close the door and some pretty good hitters.

I'll say this, I'm surprised/impressed that any team that resembles a good-to-great rpi, we've looked fantastic. That's a good sign for the postseason. I think this team unfortunately coasts through the weaker rpi games. We just got caught yesterday not being able to close out the game.

Yes I know losses like this hurt us, but I REALLY like our chances against top-performing teams in the postseason, regardless of who we end up hosting/going play at

I think your sarcasm was well warranted and needed to put things into perspective… however, I am slightly concerned about our schedule not preparing us for post season. At the beginning of the year we were playing much better baseball than we are playing right now. It seems like this team has gotten used to what it takes to beat weak teams. I have an eerie feeling if we played Alabama again next weekend we don't win 2/3. I fully believe we are better then any team in the country outside of maybe Virginia, Cal Poly and Oregon State, which I think are our equals, but we are not playing our best brand of baseball right now. I am sure you guys will be critical of my post, but had we swept this weekend and held on yesterday I would still be saying the same thing. I think this team needs to forfeit the rest of the season (of course this is a dumb idea, I just think we would be better prepared for post season if we did this) and intra squad each other to get back in that competitive mindset they had at the beginning of the year. I think we will continue to beat the weak teams remaining on the schedule and will look well oiled to the casual observer, but to my naked eye we haven't played well lately despite winning a bunch of games and only losing a couple.
