Baseball: Louisiana vs. McNeese State

[Frenchie35]

I think you were confused… Pretty sure they were aware it was an intentional walk, and thought they had enough time to get the runner in… just didn't work out

I'm confused. Better pull your head out the sand. You are going to tell me that you are going to try and come home on and intentional walk and hope that it works. Man give me a break.

Good point about leadership. Hopefully it will develop quickly. We got spoiled with a club full of leaders last year. Hopefully the seniors will step up. Looking at you Shugg

I agree but you also don't have to be a senior to be a leader, there are some young guys with Fire on this team, if the veterans don't want to hopefully the young guys grab the horns.

Precisely what I am saying… if you had a stop watch, you may understand…

Per Coach Bab...squeeze should have been "off" and there was a miscommunication

[CrazyCajun]

And it was a pitchout not intentional walk, they called the pitchout to see if they could get clement to break for home.

I didn't hear bab, but knowing that staff for what it is, no way he is still supposed to be running on the 4 wide. 3rd base coach dropped the ball. Period.

I was present for every pitch. That game was not "baseball being baseball". We failed to execute fundamental baseball last night. We failed to get clutch hits. We failed out young pitchers, who threw one hell of a game, granted against an anemic lineup. Gunner Leger was in a groove at one point, where hitters didn't have a CHANCE. Very encouraging.

Now, the 'Pokes put a couple arms on the mound that we're quality pirchers. But their offense produced 5 runs, 3 should have never happened. Greg Davis was excellent at first and has been the majority of the young year. That first error was on the catcher.

The balk was also a gift, and IMO should have never been called. You can't make that call in that situation. I'll take it, but it was bush league. And after that, Fontenot looked lost at the plate.

Pitching was encouraging. But we have a long way to go in order to be a well rounded, solid club. Early on, this club reminds me of 2013. Talent is obvious, but need to do the small things much better.

Briggs was my pitcher last year. Made tonight very bittersweet for me.

And there it is folks....massive mistake

[CajunNation]

Last night was so frustrating, yet, so promising.

After a night to sleep on it, I feel much better about this squad than I did before the McNeese game.

Yeah, last night was a punch in the gut. Something tells me, however, the boys will be ready for a scrap in Alabama.

------!! ---too many trips up and down 167 to try to hear the the Kpel AM!!!

Boom, why make those trips? You don't have a cell phone or a computer???!!!

[Boomer]

We'll it wasn't a safety squeeze. It was a suicide. The catcher was standing up with his arm out to intentionally walk the batter. Pitcher throws the pitch, runner takes off from third. Dead duck. Bonehead play. Never should of happen.

---Damn what worse that or the Balk???

[Boomer]

And it was a pitchout not intentional walk, they called the pitchout to see if they could get clement to break for home.

-------Been away from the game for a while but we always had a return sign from the batter and the runner and coach----- So all 3 and really the whole team knew it was on and I guess he should have thrown the bat at the ball---is that legal??
