BB G1: Louisiana vs ULM

[CajunRage]

Towards the end we left a bunch on. We are really good in close, low scoring games, though. Now 11-5 in one run games.

You keep using this stat. Tuesday, for instance, should never have been a 1 run game. Just curious how many of those are included here. Not saying I don’t agree with you that we get it done, but I feel like the stat is a little misleading.

Comparing him to Blake Trahan for instance, Blake seemed to have a lot more on his throws from SS to 1st base. As far as range goes, I think he and Blake are similar in that category, Blake maybe a little more range, but very close. Arm strength seems to be the biggest difference in the field.

Look I love Cantrelle but his range is not anywhere near Trahan.... He (Cantrelle) is a solid player and may one day be a better hitter but Trahan got to balls that very few in college baseball can get to.

Unfortunately that is not an unusual thought process on this board...

If you don’t see the problem, I can’t help you. This team is winning in spite of JT. We’d be in the hosting conversation with an average offense. We will all enjoy the wins but in the long run, a change needs to be made.

Maybe Lannister is getting ready for his campaign to get the golf coach fired next.

I noticed something with him at the App series while watching in person. He does not have or should I say use great arm strength. From what I can see he throws the ball just enough to get the runner out.

Comparing him to Blake Trahan for instance, Blake seemed to have a lot more on his throws from SS to 1st base. As far as range goes, I think he and Blake are similar in that category, Blake maybe a little more range, but very close. Arm strength seems to be the biggest difference in the field.

At the plate, I really like Hayden. I think he will only get better. I really like the top of the lineup next year if everyone comes back, in any order:

Lahare, Bourgeois and Cantrelle.

I know that their BA is not where it needs to be, but it also seems like McKinnon and Windham are figuring it out late in the season and they are only freshman. The other one that is starting to put it together is Zach Lafluer, unfortunately he is a Senior. Since about mid season he has raised his average about 40 points. If these guys at the bottom of the lineup can help the guys at the top just a little bit we are a dangerous team.

I won't compare him to Blake Trahan because that's a bit unfair to Cantrelle at this point. But they are entirely different looking athletes, Trahan was shorter and thicker, while Cantrelle is leaner and more fluid. Cantrelle's arm is not as strong, but he his body is far from developed at this point. He positions himself well, fields and throws in one motion to make up for his arm strength. Trahan's swings was more compact, thus hit with more power early on. But we got to see what Cantrelle can do last night going opposite field and his bat is not fully developed yet.

Trahan had it as well, as did Conrad and LuCroy. They were all big in the moment early on as freshmen. As I said, I have no idea what Cantrelle's ceiling is, but I'm very excited about the next two years for him.

Hahaha!

Even with the strikeouts, he’s still 4/10 with 3 homers. OBP .500.

Find me a DH that’s had a better stretch all year on this team.

I’ll wait...

Kennon Fontenot is 100x better. The question is who is better...Lott or Stover. I can’t answer that one. They are both poor hitters.

2 of those are seniors. I’d rather have a bad soph at the plate to develop than bad hitters who will be gone next year.

Over the long haul Kenon was better this year. Oh wait, Lott never, ever, ever got a long haul this year. Oh well.
