BB G1 Final: Louisiana 4, App St 3

[CajunProud]

I’ve seen enough of this team to know that they are not going to “get hot.” For the most part, they are just not very good and have zero coaching from a hitting standpoint. I’m happy that they are battling and getting some wins, but they will struggle and limp to the finish line. Whatever wins they get will by a bonus. Hopefully, a coaching change is made at the end of the year and better recruits are brought in.

It's freaking Appalachian state.

Their Friday night starter shouldn't Beat our Friday night starter

Just like Arkansas State, who is one and eight in their other conference games, took two of three from us

Hey, it's a sport, anyone can beat anyone.

And for the record, their Friday guy didn't beat our Friday guy. Can you stop _____ing and be happy for once.

I will only be happy if we sweep. A sweep is a must!

Going to be tough behind the plate tomorrow...McKinnon has to catch 18 innings, hopefully neither go to extras

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but seeeping a double header is very hard to do, especially on the road.

Their Friday pitcher is their best player on the team. Period. He showed it.

We looked awful at the plate, as usual, but that kid has good stuff.

Proud, we’ve won 7/10 and could easily have won 10 in a row. That doesn’t count as “hot”? I don’t care how we’re doing it; we’re doing it..

And btw, Troy beat Coastal tonight. Should tell you something about Troy. That was not a usually average Troy baseball team.

As I mentioned yesterday, a win is a win is a win. At this point in the year it’s win and move on. Can’t think about if it’s pretty or ugly...just win

[cajundiehard]

This is what really bothers me about it. The player is already in scoring position. So, what do you do? Let's give them a free out and one less opportunity to get him home. Brilliant

I have no problem bunting the lead off double to 2nd with 0 outs to get him to 3rd with one out... in the Top 9th in a one-run game.

I DO have a problem having our cleanup hitter attempt a 2-strike bunt for the strikeout. At that point, you gotta at least let him swing at a couple pitches, fouling a couple off, and then give him the chance to get the big hit...

1. That kid beat us last year at our place. App finished last in the league then, too.
2. Kid allowed two earned runs or fewer in six of eight starts.
3. Kid beat Troy last Friday night.
4. Kid is a senior and pitched like one.

Quit ____ing _____ing. We beat a very good arm tonight.

I know it's only App State, but I have to give this team credit. After going down 3-0 earlier in the game, they fought back and found a way to win. If this was earlier in the season, I'm not sure if they are able to do just that. We currently have won 5 out of the last 6 with a 3-game win streak. Let's make it 4 tomorrow!

We actually have won 6 of 7. Recall the last game at USM was a victory.
