BB Final: Louisiana 1, Hofstra 0

[IHateLaState]

This is the same way every season begins. And the same fan reaction to it every year.

Our pitchers gave up 2 runs in two games. Offense will come around. Patience

Ahhhhh a voice of reason... If this goes on for another 2 or 3 games you will have the "Robe has lost it.. he has to go" crowd resurfacing... I trust Robe and this is not unusual for this team.... As you say PATIENCE

And on the plus side when the bats do wake up the pitching is as advertised...

[IHateLaState]

The team that hosted a regional? And had the national runner up on the ropes?

Slow down... you are interrupting a good ole RP beatch fest.... of course you are correct....

Two games is not a trend, but is troubling. No doubt this lack of hitting is a continuation of the prior two seasons. We had outstanding hitting for the seasons Deggs was here, and did not for the several seasons prior to his being here.

People were not questioning Robe in those days because of pitching or defense, but lack of hitting. He fixed it with Deggs, both in recruits and production.

No shame in losing in to Murray State, they went 3-0 this weekend. They are going to be tough, www.warrennolan.com has their predicted record at 53-0.

They are a solid club.

Let's not get too sideways here.

Like I said, the brainiacs need to learn how to compartmentalize. It is possible to support the team, like the team overall, AND discuss short comings at the same time. Crazy, I know.

We hang our hat on pitching and defense, and both were stellar in 2 games. Great news there.

But speaking of crazy, anyone hear from crazycajun recently?

[Ragin' Caleb]

We aren't beating southeastern tonight with one run. Mark that

Warren Nolan with the bold predictions!

[Tell The Truth]

Robe is successful; his teams win and his players are character guys. That being said, I would rather watch paint dry than watch a Robe team play ball. I just don't like the offensive philosophy. I am not saying it is bad or wrong, necessarily, just that it is not the style of baseball I enjoy watching.

Successful only in SUN WORST....has it really been 17 years since he went to Omaha....most coaches that are given the resources he has been handed and the ones one the side that the NCAA is coming to check into should get there more than once in a lifetime...As far as character guys...didn't i read that a pitcher on Sunday just returned from a year long suspension...what was that for being a good guy....his graduation rate is horrible...I personally know a kid that is still trying to get his degree 7 years after he came to ROBE cause the coach would't let him take a summer class he needed and instead made him go to some god forsaken little town to play summer ball....and this was a two year starter...ROBE is the king of the general studies degree...will not let his players take meaningful degree course work in areas such as engineering...

Exactly. I won't speak for everyone on here. But I can say for me personally, it is absolutely laughable if anyone is panicking about the overall team. I know for me personally, I'm more concerned with the approach at the plate and it really has nothing to do with the fact that we won or lost. I'm basing it off watching every single at bat so far this season and comparing it with the same style approach the last two seasons that really hurt us in the beginning of the season.

My only reason for bringing my points up is that I'd hope we don't wait until mid season to change our approach again as that could be too late.

Anyone here doubting our overall team should not be taken seriously. Everyone knows our pitching staff is loaded. We just want a better performance from our offense so that we can be the 2014 Cajuns, and not the 2015 and 2016 Cajuns. Yes, both 14 and 16 hosted Regionals and 15 actually made it to Supers for the back to back run. But 15 and 16 teams overachieved offensively at the tail end of the season to make those things happen. I'd like to see us perform the way we are supposed to all year long like 2014 and earn a National Seed.

Sorry for reaching for higher goals. But they are most certainly and undoubtedly attainable with this pitching staff. But only if the offense learns how to score often.

[Frenchie35]

Not mine. It's synced up.

How can one be synced and another is not? When Jay went on the air and the first ball was thrown to start the game I timed the first pitch on the video feed and it was exactly 7 1/2 minutes to the second. Why I have no idea. I keep score on a program. So I had to make a choice to who I would listen to or watch. I chose Jay and checked the feed on certain plays.

[CajunAlum10]

It prob has to do with your interenet speed/connection. Also, Jay's broadcast was overplayed onto the actual video so you shouldn't need to turn any radio on. Was your video on mute? Because his broadcast was synced perfectly on the video stream. I was not saying his radio broadcast would be synced to the video because that's basically impossible with the internet delay. It was the actual video that had his voiceover working perfectly.

Well said.
It's still ok to discuss the game and how things SEEM to project.
