Cajuns Travel to Face #18 Sam Houston State

[LifeTimeCajun]

It will be interesting to see if we progress Saturday and Sunday. Faced a good arm tonight. I don't think they there arms will get any better as the weekend goes on. Despite double digit strike outs again, seems like we competed a little better at the plate. Didn't look that jumpy either. We just got beat by some quality pitches for the most part. But we gotta find a way to cut down on the K's. Got to put it in play. We got some LONG swings

Great win.. Outstanding defensive play as I have ever seen. Our hitting looks marginally better and I think our hitting is knocking the dust/rust off. Improvement against a legit top 20 team, !!

Maybe overlooked slightly, but we had 7 hits, raising the team BA 0.20 from 0.151 to 0.171.

It's a start. We look like the Astros last season during April. So much potential, just took a while to get going.

What's important is they found a way to win while crawling out of the offensive slump. Lott got the timely hit, Fontenot was clutch defensively, Gunner and DMO were masterful. It's good to see the fight in them.

I'm excited to watch/listen to Lee pitch this afternoon and see what arms Robe puts behind him. Marks, Harris, Huval, C. Lee, Burk, Norman?

Footnote: Those numbers don't include the SLU game (tied 4-4 in the 11th) since that game is not complete. That game would probably raise our batting average a bit also. I forget how many hits LA has so far in that one...

Somewhat lost in all of this is the outfield play of Kennon. This kid is a natural infielder mostly 2nd base. His routes to the ball aren't exactly the best but he's a helluva athlete making all those plays out there. We don't win the game last night without all three of those catches.

I've never trusted that whole new math thing......

But this isn't "new math"... this is "old math". Now... I'm not necessarily saying that the Cajuns will score in the +1 per game series I was prognosticating last night. The Cajuns may score on the Fibonacci series (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...) which is exactly how they've done so far. Fibonacci, by the way, was one of the greatest mathematicians of history... who was born in the late 1100s. That's old.

To add to these undeniable truths... Pinero has been the most proficient at the plate. It is not lost on me that "Pinero" is Spanish for "pine worker"... who are also known as the "tree planters". Obviously, Pinero will lead the wood work. And "Monica" has Greek derivations for "alone or one" and Latin for "adviser". Monica will advise the pitching staff and be the one to run the field operations. Todd Lott - get this - Todd means "fox" or "sly" and Lott means "portion". The sly fox is going to get his portion. That is pretty obvious to anyone.

These are simply undeniable truths that define our Cajun baseball future.

You could have worked pie in there somewhere. But Fibonacci was a deep pull!
