Baseball Polls - Feb 29th

[LaCajunsFan]

Baseball America poll should tell you everything you need to know about polls. Arkansas dominated in Houston and they are ranked below us.

You are never as good as you think you are and never as bad as you think you are.

Yep.

Hawk, if we play fundamental baseball, we're up 3-0 after 2 innings against TCU. That drastically changes the dynamic of the game (I met their starter Marshall and his dad after the game, and discussed this exact thing. Great folks by the way). I agree that our bats were sleeping on Friday. I also have my critiques about where batters were slotted on Friday, but I realize we're developing..

Polls are useless and of no consequence, especially in Feb. It's my belief that we will end up being on par with TCU mid season and beyond. I thought we were better than both TT and Rice, and we are playing at about 60% of our potential.

I come away from that tournament encouraged.

I agree with all of this and if Robbins was playing shortstop on Saturday we would have won that game. Robe is still playing with the lineup and once the stars lineup this will be a damn good team. It has been a little frustrating but there is a lot to like about this team.

Definitely.

I maintain that Joe is a #2 bat. A very good one. I'm not sure what the answer is in the short term, maybe put Kyle back up at the top. Our offense is suffering in a big way because of a lack of lead off hitters. Brian Mills looks good, as I expected him to. He and Thurm can anchor 6 and 7 IMO. If we find a lead off hitter, I expect our lineup to be very good.

Even with the fielding miscues had our bats been just lukewarm in the first two games we at worst go 2-1 over the weekend.

I'm ok with it. We were ranked #1 for how many weeks in '14? It didnt make a difference. This team will only take every game and every pitch more seriously.

This baseball not football, you do not live and die on a couple of games. Well the fans do, but not the people that know baseball.

I love how arrogant the "people who know baseball" are.
It's actually comical.
This tournament was a chance to prove that we are better than P5 schools.
The difference in hosting a super regional and regional series was basically on the line.
Our rpi took a hit this weekend. And now we will be playing through the sun belt with little chance of bringing it back up to get nationally ranked.
Yes we can still host a regional. But hosting a super regional is likely out of the conversation now

I love how stupid people are that think this was anything more than an early season match up. Our team had many holes to fill, but some people think we are a top 10 team. So by all means live in your little fantasy world. Just as last years team stumble early on so will this one, Robe is building the team to play on the post season.

Signed and arrogant _______ fan

I agree with all the polls except for the collegiate baseball poll. Ranked #6 and then dropped out? That's a big bump. I would expect 25 or something. Long season though. Let's get better.

Too much irony here to pass up.

You do realize we beat a ranked team last night? You do realize, we're still ranked in 4/5 major polls, right? You do realize, we played 3 different starting lineups this weekend, right? You do realize, we play a very formidable schedule the remainder of the season, including many "ranked P5 schools" right? You do realize, the SunBelt is a good baseball league, right? You do realize, the team we swept last weekend just sent on the road to a "ranked P5" power and swept them, right?

Robe told you exactly what he was going to do with his team. This weekend was for an education.
