Handsome Monica

Seems like 4 innings in the field and 2 at bats in the first game would have to be once of the smallest time playing disqualifications for a medical redshirt if that would happen.

Academics are taken into consideration also if I’m not mistaken. As long as he’s on course to graduate it will not be an issue

We really don't have a true DH option hitting above the Mendoza line, why would you expect to have a third catcher who could.

Looks like we need to try real hard to learn to be happy with what we have this year and hope and pray that the strong suites out way the week ones in any particular game and we can get on a win streak that way - J1M, 27 in a row!!!!!!!!!

Attaboy Vic!

I would say so...we are in essence losing our top two leaders before the season even started. I'm not even sure you could compare the loss of Gunner and Handsome to any player combo lose in Cajun history...think about it.

Unless you compare it to Softball, who lost DJ, Aleah Creighton, and Alyssa Denham right before their season even started—TWO top hitters (one a favorite for NATIONAL player of the year), and their top pitcher!! I applaud Coach Glasco for NEVER using this as an excuse for any drop-off this year!! jmo

Two first team All-Americans and top pitcher on softball leaving voluntarily - baseball loss not even in same ballpark (pun intended).

Nonc, what u say there can be interpreted more than in one way. What really say u?

Although the post was "biggest combo loss in Cajun history..."... and softball did experience monumental player losses... I don't see the circumstances anywhere comparable. But again... the poster making the observation did not qualify the loss circumstances in his statement.

Simply supporting Barisaxman's response to Big Buds post - nothing more.

J1M,
we will have to agree to disagree (with respect) about which personnel loss was more monumental to the respective national power programs. I assume you feel the original post meant (biggest combo loss in "Cajun Baseball" history. I admit I am more of a softball fan than baseball fan, but I am a huge Ragin Cajun fan.

Not sure why any comparison should be made at all.

Softball lost the heart of the team. Baseball lost Monica, an above average player at best last year.

End of analysis.

The reason you are correct has to do with system continuity and philosophy launch.

It is much easier to insert a replacement player with system continuity.

We are getting really DEEP in analysis for this board.
