UL at Troy Game 3

Some of us probably should go back and read through the posts from the beginning of the game through the end. It would be a good reminder to be patient and let the game play out. I'm glad the Cajuns won the series!

When you have that kind of transition on your roster, we should be more patient. We have the arms right now, its just a matter of getting hits consistently. This team may never bat over .300, but it does have the potential to hit better then they are right now.

One positive among several this weekend. Cajuns won a road series. Cajuns split with two strong opponent pitchers. Most won't have two much less three.

Negative. Still making good pitchers look like Cy Young candidates. Still making too many base running mistakes and errors. All correctable.

We took some steps forward, but that doesn't erase the data we have for the rest of the season. I'm glad we made some encouraging moves, but don't be that guy..

I don't think I was "that guy". Seems like some of the things some were posting about early in the game were the exact things that were executed later in the game. Just saying we have to let a game playout. Doesn't mean we can't be frustrated or point out mistakes, just that it's better to be patient.

Baby steps...baby steps

One of the great debates on the board will be the lineup decisions.

In past years, we've pretty much known who was going to be in the lineup every day.

This year you can make a case for
Pinero
Trosclair
Kasuls
Antchak
Robbins
Conrad
Sensley
Edwards
Mills
Herrington
Clement
Thurman
Poncho

That's thirteen spots for nine guys.

And, you can expect the shifting to continue depending on L/R matchups and scouting reports on opposing pitchers.

Many of you will say "so and so should be in the lineup everyday"

In reality we only have a few of those guys right now.

---Everybody knows the righty-lefty ---lefty-righty advantage or has seen the substitutions to try for the advantage---I guess we all know it certainly depends on THE pitcher or THE hitter---but have you ever spoken to Robe about this???

All I know is I REALLY like Robbins at 3rd. NOBODY plays 3rd like Robbins.

I REALLY like Mills, Herrington, and Edwards in the OF... (and of course Clem will replace one of these when he returns).

Trosclair seems much more comfortable at 2nd and that is a good spot for him.

Pinero at first - especially if he continues to hit the ball.

I guess platoon Kasuls and Antchak at SS for now...

[cajundiehard]

And you gotta somehow get Conrad in the lineup... DH when he's not in the field?

[CajunAlum10]

I find it very hard to make a case for Antchak. The ONLY thing you can say about him this far is that he has some hits. His defense at the most important spot on the field, other than the mound, is shaky at best. Kasuls is young, but has major upside when he catches up to the game.

As much as Robbins has looked like an animal at 3B, I think you still have to have him at SS for the better total infield despite his range maybe being limited. Conrad can play 3B adequately, and at times brilliantly. Pinero has locked down 1B in my opinion. Tros at 2B.

I agree with OF Mills, Herrington, Edwards. DH Sensely all day long. Sooner or later his power will show up in waves.

more importantly, this logic applies to the season as a whole. a baseball season is a marathon, not a sprint.
