Coach Robe

[anhil8tor]

So if Bustle were a better person or more liked he could get a pass too?

[LifeTimeCajun]

_ Listen to yourself, you sound like a fan from the school down the road. I am disappointed also, but you are not going to find a better person for the job for our university than Coach Robe. Just don't go to baseball if you can't hang with us WHO do care. That sounds harsh, but enough of this " The Sky is fallin crap". We can't be a big time player without big time facilities and money. THE Universities that have big time programs aren't strapped like this ignorant LA. Laws. Limiting what the Universities can do when running their academics and athletic programs. Since our CWS appearance I am seeing more BCS and Mid Major conferences spend more money on baseball than before 2000. It is my opinion that once our new stadium is finished, our recruiting will get better. WHy our hitting is slumping and our pithcing is faultering all at once is beyond me. UP and DOWN, the season has gone, we still have a month and a half left. Lets don't start jumping off the bridge now.

You cant make me believe that having a 5,10,or 15 million dollar facility will help us pitch better, or field ground balls better, or stop taking strike three. I believe that winning is what would get kids in here and want to play for a program that is consistantly in the post-season. Our facility is not a complete dump. it is good enough to get quality kids in here that can compete at a high level everyday.

Examples: 1.For three years thinking Will Long was a shortstop-- He is an outfielder--
2.LSU game--we have a man on second with 0 outs and our 4 hitter is up who happens to be 6' 2" 220lbs and a lefthanded hitter(Smith)--Robe has him bunting!! Anybody else would let him hit away and since he is a lefthander the worst case scenario would be that he rolled over one to the 2b which would move the runner over anyway
3.This year he still has no idea how to use our two best arms(Robe & Osborne)-He starts them and when they have a bad outing he moves them to the pen-Then when our starters are struggling he moves them back to being starters-Sound familiar--He did the same thing with our best arm last year: Farqhuar-- Pitchers need to have a normal routine to know how to properly rest their arms
4.Robe is all about "manning up" and playing with a chip on your shoulder-I REALLY THINK HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LINEBACKER COACH because baseball is not played that way-It would be different if at every game once the first pitch was thrown that both benches would empty--I am all for playing with alot of intensity but in Robe's mind if you don't play well you are not "manning up" and he will bury you on the bench--It is inexcusable for the way he has handled M.Cook this year

Well mike cook needs to learn how to get people out and miss the bats of the oposition. If he can do that consistantly, he wouldnt be in the situation he is in. Robe doesnt throw the ball, catch the ball, or hit the ball. It is obvious you are ____ed at robe for one reason or another. Sit back and take the whole picture in. Until tony goes out there and he himself gives up a home run, or strikes out, I dont care to listen to all the BS anymore

Maybe Mike can use more personal attention? If this was Robert Lee we would be blaming him for not making players better but Robe gets a pass on this? Once again I am not saying fire Robe but should Robe get a pass just because he is Robe?

I am not one wanting or calling fror Coach Robe's head, but this is weird. Isn't the coach of ANY team the one that PREPARES them to... get people out?... keep from giving up a home run?... keep from striking out?

Isn't there a connection there?

Who cares about women's basketball? Seriously.

[BrudaCajun]

_ im sorry i guess my english was a little off...just like a lot of your ideas on baseball. an please dont question if i am truly a former player. i havent been gone for that loong. An to answer your question you do have to play past t-ball to have a clue about the game adn to be able to post your opinion. _


Oh and the YOU and YALL represents the ignorant people who keep dissing Robe and the players.

When have I ever dissed Robe, That would be NEVER. I believe you are a player, never questioned it. Really was probalby a fan of yours.

I have yet to post an opinion about this years ball club. I never question Robe and his decisions or coaching methods, I respect and LIKE him. I will call out some players though.

So because I played HS and Legion ball, I guess that makes me a dumb arse when it comes to baseball

And it should always be US. Great talking with you buddy, hope to hear more incite

It is funny you mention Schef, some of us were curious as to how Kansas was doing, When I looked they had swept texas and last week were ranked #30, darn. Like I said we were curious. has Kansas ever been ranked before.

NCAA wise it is the 3rd biggest sport so a lot of people care about it.

If you don't think new facilities go ask the football coaches.
I met some parents of a girl recruited for by UL, don't remember sport, but they told me she did not come her because of the dorms.
2) we have a 10 million dollar facility, to replace our facility today like it is, is a 10 million dollar facility.
3) BDC or CUSA conference, because of our accomplishments since 1998, we the fans and Baseball deserve a second to non facility. We have loyal fans, but you don't think we could get high calaber players that were border line.
I do believe we get good players, but we miss some good players too.
After seen Tulanes, USM, Rice's, and LSU's facilities, don't you think having a newer more prestine Ball Park instead of mud washing down the side walks, terribe bathroom facilities, one only and then, there are the port a lets, nicer press box, suites, canopy from 1st to 3rd base. YES FACILITIES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. We should have the best FACILITY IN THE SUNBELT BECAUSE WE HAVE THE HIGHTEST ATTENDANCE AND BEST FANS.
It is good to be free and debate isn't it.

COuld not agree more....better facilities= more capital....I think by improving the Tigue you would generate more money. You could charge more for admission you would attract more recruits...I remember on my recruiting trip I saw the blueprints for the Tunnel that we were supposed to be putting in but never got the money to do it. I also was informed about an indoor facility that would be going in...(was not put in until after I left). It is time for a recruit to come in and allow Robe to say This is our tunnel, these are our new cages, this is our indoor facility, this is our sky box suites, etc....I would love to see the Tigue completly renovated, as it would make a world of differences.
