G2: Louisiana v. Coastal Carolina (Saturday)

[cajundiehard]

But I do like Brian's idea where you have one close Friday, another close Saturday and the first closer back on Sunday with a day of rest.

This team will bounce back today. I can't say that they will definitely win because this is a good opponent on the road, but we will show fight

Both teams' offenses started heating up yesterday. I wonder if that will continue today. I think the key for Hogan is no free passes. I would typically say get ahead of hitters but he just doesn't do that. He has no problem so far getting in a three ball count then striking the batter out.

Lott is at DH today.

We're gunna find out a lot about our young lefty today as well.

I have no problem with DMo closing. Ever. I have a problem with the way our All American closer pitched in the last inning of maybe the most important game of the season.

[cajundiehard]

I went back and watched that last inning. No doubt that the game changed on the strike-out that ended up on first. Should have been 2 outs with only the tying run on 2nd. Big difference between that and what was runners on the corners with one out. That is where D-MO lost his edge. Monica usually handles that 3rd strike - it was high and outside to the lefty.

But - regardless - flush it and move on...

[J-Town Cajun]

If anyone cares to go back and look at any inning where multiple runs were given up, you will see that walks and/or hit batsman were involved. Our team batting against is in the low .200's.

[CajunAmos]

I may agree with you if we had a one run lead, but with 3 I think it was the right call. And we weren't Trying to save just Wyatt for Sunday. We were playing to have both DMO and Wyatt available for Sunday. You have to trust your closer in that situation

My only concern is Dylan has almost a 6 ERA this year because he's struggling off speed and this is a fastball hitting team. Wyatt dominated them in his two appearances. I don't care about Sunday on Saturday. We needed to first win Saturday, and if we lose Sunday I don't care until Sunday.
