Bb G1 Final: Louisiana 7, Arkansas State 8

[ULvictory]

I agree with your last 2 sentences...however...I can’t imagine a successful & tenured HC being told he HAS has to fire one of his staff members...especially when no off-field issues (arrests, violations, etc) are in play...and he just roll over...

If something were to happen, it would be more of a "do something to change this" approach taken by Maggard. As mentioned before, there's too much money involved with what happened tonight.

Exactly. There won’t be a public firing but I would not be surprised by a “make a change or here’s a nice little retirement package” type of deal.

This game came down to the ground ball in the bottom 9th that a diving Kassuls nearly made a fantastic play to turn into a double play... instead he was inches away and they scored the 6th run and pushed the tying run to 3rd...

Then McKinnon's missed suicide squeeze. Wow. How do you not put the bat on the ball? He was clearly uncomfortable and just lunged for the ball. F Ugly.

I bet Stolke didn't pitch the 9th because our coaches felt good with a 3-run lead. I wonder if Stolke warmed up when we were batting in the top of the 9th (with only a 1 run lead)... Anyone know?

No words. For this. Just bad. Baseball. vs. the one of the worst teams in the league and it was a freakin' battle - vs. one of the worst in the Belt. Guess we can look forward to the App Series. That should be a good one also. We can forget about all the others. Even Little Rock is good this year. It's a shame we are so bad with the Belt being so good this year (5th rated at moment)... Belt coulda helped the RPI if we could get a decent amount of wins. Oh well.

When squeeze was unsuccessful, I knew a Cajun victory was a long shot.

.......So the season gets down to 3 days in March......oops wrong sport, 3 days in May.....I assume that the conference champ goes to the show...is this correct???

Seriously doubt we even qualify for the tourney.

Care to make a friendly wager? Ask Buddy if he has any eligibility left... may not help our hitting, but we could use some more pitching depth...

Every team qualifies. Don’t know details but t top teams are automatically in double elimination while some teams play an elimination game to qualify for the double elimination portion

In Robe’s defense... Williams was throwing strikes and locating both the fastball and offspeed. Often times a coach comes with a quick hook when a pitcher isn’t locating his stuff, but if he’s giving up a few hits and locating his stuff, will let the pitcher try to work through it. Williams was allowed to work through his jam and just couldn’t get any outs when he needed them.

If he is locating his stuff, and the opponent is still hitting you does it matter? That's baseball, but they were squaring him up. Clearly his stuff wasn't good enough last night.

Doesn’t matter about the tourney, 25 games in and we haven’t won 3 in a row...nothing tells me we could do it when it matters.

that's incorrect. Bottom 2 teams are left out.

I wish he did.

I'm guessing Stoelke is dealing with some soarness or something based on Robe saying in the pregame interview that they would "see" about him in the 9th

Now that's it. Do the post game interview like they do the pregame. We know the outcome, so Robe can give all the details why this happen or that happen on tape. So just play it after the game. No problem with a mike. What say?
