Bb G2 Final: Louisiana 6, Wright State 3

[cajunhawk]

Our plate skills and base running skills are going to sharpen up.

Isn’t that what our coaches are supposed to do...BEFORE THR SEASON STARTS??!!

[MetryCajun]

THE MOST TELLING POST OF THE GAME !! Ignore coaching and win.. We better learn from this .. Talbot is our kryptonite

Please tell me this is a joke. No team that ignores their coaches is going anywhere. Guys have got to step up...put some balls in play. The hitting coach cannot do it for them.

There was no stop sign. I was watching the runner on second as soon as I saw it was a squeeze. He turned the corner full speed watching the ball. When it got by the pitcher, he was in full stride already. He never hesitated.

Are you saying that Talbot didn’t throw up a stop sign? Nothing you said states he didn’t. I was listening and Topham made it a point to say it as MAT said earlier. I wasn’t there and it doesn’t show on the replay on ragincajuns.com. He seems to know baseball and I don’t think he would say that if he didn’t see it.

With that being said, none of us can really say what that would mean. Was it just adrenaline? Was it part of the play to throw up a stop sign? Or was it rebeling against Talbot? Some of us want to hope is #3 but none of us can know for sure.

I didn’t see a stop sign, but I wasn’t watching Talbot... I was watching Gavin......and he was watching the ball. To me, I thought it was a clear double suicide, and Gavin just kept going when the pitcher misplayed the ball.

Just checked the video...

Ok... my bad... ball actually got away from the pitcher.

Ball gets away from the pitcher who then comes home too late to get the 2nd runner... Couldn't see and don't know what Talbot's signals were. Still not sure if he would have had time to put up the stop sign...

Regardless... I HOPE it wasn't a situation where a player is taking a situation into their own hands. That would be most concerning - on multiple fronts.

Almost as much fun re-watching it today, as it was watching from the Tigue yesterday.

BTW: I wonder if anyone had any interactions with WSU fans that made the trip down...guess they enjoyed Friday more than yesterday, lol, but still wonderering how they are faring in acadiana, the Tigue/game atmosphere, etc. Also, we were talking about the odd scheduling on their end: go from Ohio to Nola last weekend, back to Ohio (?) then back all the way down to LFT this weekend. Either that's a lot of traveling, or two weeks away from home/school.

Pretty sure you have it right but even if he ran through the stop sign I don't think it was a slight to Talbot. Players run through stop signs all the time.

That's not that big of a deal, running through a 3rd base stop sign. When I initially read the post I assumed the batters ignored the call from JT when at the plate. Am I missing something?

Players hated him last year & he struggles to communicate with them hearing the same things this year .. brings up the question why is he still here

At DC, Robe said they came straight from NOLA. Were in Lafayette on Tuesday for sure.

They are staying for another week. Moving onto Sam Houston then UTA next weekend.
