Here's what Tony Robichaux had to say after the loss. Not happy at all with the defensive effort tonight. pic.twitter.com/bFLKU5a4HK

That defensive effort was embarrassing to this program.

Why is Herrington not playing? He has been hitting well and is good on d

I don't think Tony would have a good...serious...meaningful answer to that question.

When your number of errors almost matches your number of hits or runs, that a recipe for losing a game. You have to compete at the plate too. That's two staffs that have more or less carved us up in 3 games.

These multiple position changes every couple innings are not helping.

21 games into the season, everyone should have a primary spot by now. Too much movement going on out there. 35 games left to the season. We are in mid-season but we are still in preseason form.

To be fair, there are several guys who have not stepped up and made the position there's or shown that they can be consistent. Robe also said that every time there is a hole, they plug it with Joe Robbins. That leads to changes elsewhere. And we only have one Joe Robbins.

On another note, I was disappointed that the costly defensive mistakes last night were made by veterans. Conrad's throwing errors obviously. Then the botched double play. I put that double play ball fiasco on Trosclair. As the senior leader he should have taken that double play himself with authority instead of getting panicked and firing the ball at Kasuls from 1 foot away. Then Thurman letting a very catchable ball on an attempted bunt get by him. It was called a wild pitch but it was a little above belt high on the inside part of the plate, very catchable.

It was our veteran leaders that let down our pitcher who was in control of the game.

Positives: Evan looked really good and comfortable in that atmosphere even when things got tight. Our freshmen got things going in the hitting department (Poncho and Kasuls). They weren't intimidated at the plate early in the game. Kasuls had a whole new approach at SS. He was aggressive on defense. And the obvious positive, Sensley with the big hit in the big situation.

To sum up, we are making improvements in some areas but not others. Defense must improve to win consistently.

Yup. Robe always talks about putting up a crooked number. Unfortunately, our guys took it to heart and hung one up under the "E".

A lot of us remember the team that finished strong last year and was expecting that to roll into this year. Now deep into this season, we are still searching for this year's BT both as a leader and SS. We got spoiled as fans. This is NOT last year's team mentally.

This team is so limited on HOW it can win games.

If you are the coach of this team, what do you focus practice on? Fielding? Hitting? Both are way behind and need serious help. Pitchers have to throw 1 or 2 hitters for us to win. They have alot more L's coming up.
