BB G2 Final: Louisiana 5, Coastal Carolina 1

[Just1More]

As a fan you are basically powerless to affect change when you are disappointed with your team. You either no longer have or never did have the athletic ability to compete at that level. Therefore the only response that helps you deal with the disappointment is to lash out at coaches/administrators. I always smile after things don't go well when a fan says a performance was "not acceptable". My immediate thought is well, what are you going to do to punish the ones who did not deliver an acceptable performance. In reality there is nothing anyone can do so venting is a way of relieving that frustration.

And then there are those that lash out at fans for lashing out. I've always wanted to meet that extremely special fan that always knows the perfect moment to fire a coach... and hire the new one. I've searched far and wide and just keep running into people that run their mouths about other fans who run their mouths.

Windham has made some bare-handed plays that even major leaguers would have trouble making.

He's been a stud at third. It's been a fun year to watch him play ball at the hot corner.

A win tomorrow puts the Cajuns in the #45 RPI spot, as things stand at this moment. A loss at #55.

Winning 4 of our last 5 home games (Coastal Carolina, Tulane, and three vs. ULM) and 2 of 3 at Texas State would put us at about #47 as it stands now.

Of course, a win tomorrow would put the Cajuns at 7-7 against the all-important RPI Top 50 (definite feather in their cap). LSU also has the chance to move into the RPI Top 50 ... adding two more wins to the Cajuns' RPI Top 50 record. Meanwhile, Troy is at #50 now (1-2 counting against the Cajuns' RPI Top 50 record) and South Alabama is at #52 (also 1-2 ... but not part of the Cajuns' RPI Top 50 record).

Windham has the instincts of a wizard, very good range and a strong accurate arm. He makes playing one of most difficult positions look easy.

For a long time I was not sure if this season resulted from mediocre recruiting.

It took a long time for offensive achievement to trickle down the line up and team to be a team, at the plate.

I now know this season might be Robe's best coaching job. He has made these guys a team.

so many different theories on the recruiting path.....one which certainly has credence is the “I have seen him do it”.....if he has done it he is capable of playing at a consistent level of a one time performance or my coaching him to play always close to this......taking it in a spectator form, we have seen the more than one time levels of very high performance!!!

Nobody knows, but’s here’s one that should stick...don’t fire coaches after a series loss or a blowout loss in the middle of the season. Wait till the end of the season and access where your program is. Making rash decisions like mid season firings makes your program look emotional and not tactical.

I really don't have words for the the way I feel about this team. I took a step back and decided to just enjoy them for who they are.

After being out of the state for the last month and not having access to video, all I can say is that last night being at Russo in person I felt something that I haven't felt in a really long time watching Louisiana baseball.

There is just something about this team. It's not always pretty and it's well documented on what I feel about JT, but after the way we started the year, the way these guys have scratched and clawed back is great to see.

I wasn't a believer and I'll gladly eat my crow. Every thing else this year is lagniappe but I have a feeling this team has some major plans. Cheers guys.

Amen RcL8.

Just to clarify some of the blanket statements being thrown around here. Early in the season, our players were overmatched and were having horrible at bats. They were looking dejected and that they truly didn’t buy in to JT. In their defense, JT was putting them in bad counts and putting plays on not allowing them to just play. It was bad baseball period. Not one of us raising hell wanted this team to fail. And, speaking for only myself here, my call was to consider going a different direction with robe IF the season didn’t turn around AND he refused to make a change with JT. They’ve pulled it together. Maybe they’ve gelled. Maybe the system is working. Maybe these players said F it and are doing it themselves. I’m not going to forget the beginning of this season and I’m not interested in that being the norm for this program. I believe with the 2014 season and Russo park that we need to be stepping into the next level.

With that being said, get out the brooms! Let’s make a run! We have the pitching to win tournaments. And as stated in another or earlier in this thread, Fresno has a ring. Anything can happen.
