Louisiana at McNeese

[LifeTimeCajun]

It's always easy to be the underdog bc u not suppose to do it. Walking around with the bullseye on your back for 56 games is something we need to learn how to handle pretty quick before this season turns south. I think there is enough offensive talent on this team, but we need to loosen up a hair and play baseball

Yes.
Doesn't look like anyone is having fun out there.

Leave it to a UL athletic team to disappoint

there will always be softball and skiing [i think the bass fisherman are pretty good, too, right?]

[Sonsissymia]

Agreed - these boys are good but it's time for their balls to drop

oh, the balls are dropping; have you seen the errors stats???

2 from Conrad. Never feel comfortable with him at third

I posted last week that we should not lose mid week games. The real scare is we are not scoring runs until late innings. 4 runs in two midweek games. Sacred Heart ERA over 11 if we don't put up some numbers this weekend then we need to start getting real concerned. They need to find position players and a firm lineup so this group can get it together.

I still have faith in this team, it's in my blood. It really is way too early to freak out about anything like some have said. The only loss to this date that really ticks me off is Texas Tech because we had them dead to rights and they had no business winning that game. The way we battled and fought to win against Rice shows this team has what it takes without a doubt. Blake Fox was Rice's #1 or #2 guy all of last year. That was no slouch that we beat.

We will prob lose a few more games before we get rolling, but I know these guys will hit a hot streak come mid season. They still have Shug in the dugout to fire them up.

McNeese beat us last year at the Tigue in 17 innings ... that was a tougher loss I thought than this one.

We will be fine when the new guys start hitting; and some of the old guys.

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.

It's not about stats, it's not about who we're losing to. It's about how WE are playing and how we appear to be mentally absent or inferior.

We can't sit here and say "every team is different" and then proceed to compare past teams with the current one.

Don't disagree.

Wasn't what I was addressing.

Well it seems to me the fundamentals of playing are not there.....or we would not be making so many basic errors, or lacking in bats, etc.

But the fundamentals of a team loaded with talent and being coached by one of the greats is there, and those two will win out as we progress though the season.
