BB Final: Louisiana 0, Murray St. 2

[ManAboutTown]

Robe has to change up the corners of the outfield tomorrow. Stover needs some serious work on his swing. Murray's pitcher made him look as bad as I have seen any college hitter. What does Fontentot have on Robe. Dude hits under .100 consistently and is still playing.

I'm not down on our hitters. I know Stover can hit the baseball. And this is not an overreaction to one game. RP archives will show, from beginning to end of last season (with the exception of the adjustment mid season), I did not like our approach. It seemed like we were too aggressive in unnecessary situations and not aggressive enough when we needed to push the envelope.

First live action for some, I understand that. There is always an adjustment period. But, Monica (a new comer) had our best swings on their starter, and Brenn looked like Brenn.

Another thing: we need to let our vets do their job. Why pull Penni for Antchak? I like Brad, but I'd much prefer Penni in that spot. Also, last batter of the game, we let Sensley stay in to face a guy that throws slurves and breakers exclusively? Steve has improved with uncle Charlie, but my goodness, we all know he's not hitting sliders.

The biggest thing for me is all of the strike outs.....just an extension of the first 2/3 of last season. Wayyyyy too many strike outs.

Strikeouts and pop ups.. symptoms of the approach. Too much going on.

We lost to central Illinois at home in '14.. and went on to win 58 games. Pump the brakes a little. It's gonna be alright

Lol, Z. I don't believe anyone is panicking. The hitters will come around. MAT explained it best.

I bet being charged up to play Friday night, then getting rained out had an affect on the team.

There were plenty of lessons to learn yesterday (most notably you have to find a way to get runs in when their pitcher is throwing a gem) and I'm willing to bet Robe is using it as a teaching moment.

I have a feeling today might be what the doctor ordered for our hitters. I think SLU beat them by more than 10 last night.

I'm no baseball expert, but doesn't good pitching win most games?

BS! Fire Robe. He's slacking off. I could see it in his eyes. This season is done. We suck.

Not when your main source of contact is pop ups.
