Louisiana at McNeese

Don't disagree.

Wasn't what I was addressing.

I was more or less adding to your point..

Guys, there was just too much turnover from last season to warrant such a high ranking. That's a fact. You're witnessing Robe make the sausage right now. The Chef knows what he is doing.

Now, next season, there should be little to none of the early season meal planning. That gumbo will be awesome from Opening Day.

Too many folks, including myself, didn't want to believe this, but it is now obviously true. So we will have a very good season this year, and a fantastic one after that. Just in time to have a new stadium to hold any post-season activity. ;-)

As of right now 292 teams have played at least one game this year (pure mid-week game data is difficult to assimilate) but the majority of it is OOC at this time and you would expect better teams to be playing lesser opponents. Parity tends to come in more once you get to conference play. So logic would dictate you have a number of power programs undefeated and a bunch of lesser programs with lots of L's.

In reality only 11 teams remain undefeated out of those 292 teams and we are only a few weeks into the season. In the SEC only two of fourteen teams are undefeated. Same goes for the ACC. Every team in the PAC 12 has a loss. If you look at the Div1 baseball poll only three teams in the top 25 are undefeated.

I'm disappointed in our start but the fundamentals are there and we will come around. Point I'm trying to make is that not losing mid-week games is not realistic. This isn't football with only twelve games. We've got 56 games to play before we even get to the conference tournament.

Sacred Heart might help with our confidence and is probably a needed break at home. Next week against Tulane, Troy and then Northwestern is where we get a chance to see if the bats are coming around.

I agree with everything you said except fundamentals being there. Errors on simple easy outs, can't bunt, no sacrifice flys, bad baserunning. Fundamentals. Mcneese just had basic fundamentals and didn't lose the game

And one game doesn't make a season. Fundamentals have always been there for the Cajuns (over a season). If you want to take this one game and make that statement no argument and I won't disagree.

If you want to make the argument that Mcneese is a fundamentally better baseball team than the Cajuns over a season I'll take that beat. Pick one stat where you think that McNeese (in the Southland) will finish better than the Cajuns and lets beat a beer on it (or a softdrink if you prefer) to be decided after the South Al. series. Payoff at one of the ULM games.

Its all for fun and if the Cajuns don't improve I'm gonna need more than one beer anyway!

a beer it is. The stat I choose that Mcneese will finish with more of is drawing (BB) bases on balls. They seemed way more patient at the plate than we do and that Southland pitching might be all over the place

I can't believe I am the one who will say this. We will be fine. The pitching will hold, bats will warm up and we will settle on the 9 positions. Once we getting the pieces in place we will be dangerous.

I think so too. Just gonna have to be patient and trust in Robe's process. I think it'll pay off

I like that! This will be a fun one and will give me a reason to look at McNeese stats the rest of the season. I was kind of being sarcastic about the Southland. When it comes to baseball they aren't bad. They obviously aren't the ACC or SEC but they can play some pretty good ball.

We have to warm up the bats this weekend or I'll be a little worried that we'll be capable of doing so

Same here.
