We are getting really DEEP in analysis for this board.

I'll get back with you, I'm hosing off my rubber boots.

I'm somewhat glad he is out for the year. The medical redshirt should go through and we will get him back for a strong campaign next year. Not that this season is a wash by any means, but this team is what it is. I would rather have him come back strong next year with Gunner and the rest of the returning cast, maybe either Hogan or Lee will return, and hopefully a new hitting coach and we make a big run. Also, I really hope this is the last season we have to watch McKinnon behind the plate.

I kind of doubt we’re getting a new pitching coach. Without mentioning RP he said he’s not giving up on the team or coaches that have received criticism by fans.

Also today he said he’s a baseball fan. He’s going to watch spring training for 60 days the first year after he retires or gets fired. He’s absolutely feeling the pressure.

Go to Scottsdale, rather than Grapefruit League.

I stopped listening today after the 11th Gunner is gone lament.

Wait what?

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.

Sorry, Monica wasn't above average at most things. He did throw out .46% of the attempted stolen bases against him.

He did get up to .200, but slid back down that hill over the last week, or two. the fact we cannot solve an 85 mph lefty on Friday night is disturbing. Amateur baseball, I guess.

Gunnar is an 85 mph lefty on Friday night. If you can pitch, 85 is plenty fast enough in college.

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.

I chose not to explain myself... but softball was anything but a normal circumstance. Every sport has injuries year to year. I took the OP to mean losing 2 superstars in a single year, to start a season, lost to injury. But that’s just how I took it.

Turbine... let’s get serious... you never take your rubber boots off... and running this site... I think that would be wise.

Robe has chosen to keep himself on his staff.

I got ya now - thanks - I was looking more at the effects of the personnel loss regardless of reason as I assume Barisaxman was, as well - I'll re-read the post with that in mind.

Monica does not like your decimal.

That has to be the smallest percentage of any catcher to have ever played the game.
