Laf G7: Louisiana vs Arizona

[LifeTimeCajun]

We were the better team. We played like we forgot what was swinging between our legs.

The better team won. The team with a little more swagger won. It's not a switch u can't just turn it off and on.

So let me get this straight. We came in today 2-0 with 2 starters and an entire bullpen ready to go. Arizona has to string together a pitching staff for the day. We're at home and have everything going for us. And we drop 2 in a row to end the season. And I was at the games. Neither game did we ever look like we were going to win. That's priceless.

My rant is over. Overall, good season fellas. See y'all at Cajun Field in September.

The implosion the first inning this afternoon set the tone. The hook was too late to kill the wildcat's momentum. Which lead to it honestly being said the best team won. Arizona seized the moment.

When you come here and start ____?

Nope. YOU were the one that started this....wayyyyy back in the summer of 2014, when YOU came on our board and talked massive trash about beating Tech in football.

Just love seeing you guys get embarrassed on the national stage. EVERYONE loves to talk about the regional host that chokes. (Vandy definitely NOT included this year.)

Robe does need to address batting/offense this offseason. Seems like in losses and games they pulled out, the batters have made opposing pitching look unbeatable.

Haha at least we are on a national stage! Ruston I doubt is on the national stage in anything, even Monroe got y'all beat with Duck Dynasty.

Hitting into a double play with the bases loaded in the first game was the turning point. Poor hitting came back to haunt the team. We haven't been a good hitting team since Deggs left.

[LifeTimeCajun]

Agreed. We were near perfect yesterday. What changed? Zona gets up early in both games and we panic?

What changed was we not good enough offensively when we fell behind. Yesterday we bunted 5 times, put runners in motion, and put pressure on the defense...things we have to do to beat this caliber team.

[raginsaints]

Sad now, but proud.

It's hard to bunt runs over and pressure the defense when you don't get runners on base.

I don't think you'll find a person on this board that doesn't agree that hitting has been an issue this year. Today it was a glaring issue, especially with used arms throwing. Some will say the Arizona pitchers were hitting their spots, but I'm sure that the batters will tell you it was on them. I'd agree with the batters.
