UL vs. SLU (g3)

[ManAboutTown]

I like their squad a lot. They will be dangerous in postseason. I hope they make it (but not in our regional)

I hate their squad. There was waaay too much cocky, especially from Fisher. I realize the kid is leading the country in hitting, but he needs to calm his ___ down. Way too much show. Win the SLC before you start bat flipping and showing people up.

Having said that, the way they PLAY reminded me of several of our teams in the past. Hard nosed, capitalized on mistakes, constantly putting pressure on opposing pitchers...

Good college baseball game today.

What we don't want is LSU to get hot and host then we are sent there as the #2 and SLU the #3 seed. They would be a tough #3 seed. Although LSU as a #1 this year would not be as tough as usual. LSU might have a hard time coming out of that regional. A lot of pitchi depth between those 3 teams!

LSU has a very favorable (RPI) schedule the remainder of the way. Hard to see how they do not finish with a #1 seed resume (but stranger things have happened ... like App State win 2/3 from USA). I think that if LSU finishes just over .500 in their remaining games, they are hosting as a #1 seed.

If some how we can catch and pass So Al and win conference with a top 16 RPI or better it's not out of the question to host. But we have a lot yet to improve on, yet we are in decent position as of today.

Catching South Alabama will still be extremely difficult. The Cajuns will need some help and need to get it close enough to where they do not need a sweep in Mobile to win the league (doubtful, but not impossible).

I think to be considered as a #1 seed and host, the Cajuns would need to take 3/4 from Southern Mississippi and South Alabama (that might not be enough). I think not doing so likely leaves the Cajuns short on resume ammo given they are likely not a league champion and have a suspect record vs. RPI Top 25 and RPI Top 50 (anticipating Northwestern State finishes outside of RPI Top 50) ... Yes, even with an RPI ranking of say #14 (that Texas Tech give-away haunts). This is also a year where the committee may try to work in a northern team just outside of the RPI Top 16 as a #1 seed and host ... such as Minnesota.

If I had to venture a guess at this point, I would say Cajuns as a #2 seed in Baton Rouge with Tulane and SLU as possible #3 seeds if they finish the season strong (right now both would be out of the field). College Station is also a real possibility. But I see Rice or TCU in College Station as a #2 at the moment.

Any chance of Guillory moving into the Saturday spot in place of Marks? Wyatt has had some shaky outings as of late and Evan had been nails on the weekdays recently.

I'd be surprised if it's not Harris Tuesday and Guillory Wednesday.

I would like to see Harris on Tuesday, Marks on Wednesday and Guillory on Saturday

Agreed. Fisher is a plug and very full of himself. Did you notice his approach when coming to the plate? If you saw it, you know what I mean.

Stop. If no one could get me out, I'd be cocky too. He was very complimentary after the game yesterday and seems like a decent enough guy. All other teams probably hated Jace Conrad when he was here, too.

Agreed. His arrogance has a lot to do with how good of a hitter he is. Not unlike several guys that have played here over the last few years.

I guarantee that a lot of opposing fan bases thought the same way about the majority of our lineup in 2014. Great baseball players are cocky. It's part of what makes them what they are.

Umm yea, whining about a guy being cocky when he's hitting damn near .500 is just being petty. Who gives a ____ how he acts between the lines? As long as he's not doing anything dirty like trying to hurt our players or something I have no problem with it. Matter of fact, I wish he was on our team. We could use some more of the mojo that he brings to the lineup.
