SB Regional G1 Final: Louisiana 0, Houston 1

Not that it matters at this point but that was Watts with the deep ball to right

It means everything! You’re right, though. My mistake.

Hitting has digressed as the season has progressed to the point that it took 14 innings of shutout pitching for the offense to plate 1 run against ULM. Think about that

Agreed. Definite drop off since mid season.

Granted, he’s done a great job this season. Really. But the “pass” for inheriting some tough circumstances and losing players is pretty much out the door. Struggle for conference game here and there? Yeah. It’s going to happen because the game is hard and the other team wants to win too. But to struggle at the plate with consistency when it matters falls on players not performing and coaches not preparing players.

Also, this team has played with little passion recently. It shows on the field.

I did say I agreed with some points. I'm just not using it as a Glasco bashing situation after one season. Our up coming recruits will make or break us. But Glasco knows this ...

Why is everyone worried? Stevie P said it’s better to lose today so that we could get to Sunday.....

_____ about the name, conference, whatever... kpel is as big a reason as any that we are still second level to everyone around here.

While I agree with some points, I don't relish in it like you. What this team has achieved in spite of all the surrounding issues is remarkable.. you sound like a bitter cultist who still crying in his/her hanky.

Not relishing at all and certainly not a bitter cultist. I just get very frustrated when we don't even stand a chance at the plate game after game.

All off season bull aside, this city knows softball. Collectively, a heck of a lot more than most. Myself included. This offense has regressed, though. Doesn’t take an expert to know that. It’s just frustrating to watch and you’ll certainly hear it from one of the top fan bases in college softball.

Putting a ball in play with a runners in scoring position and less than 2 ours should be routine. This team struggles at that. It’s like baseball and softball switched offenses at the half way point.

Watching Cajun’s softball have to play small ball and not be very good at it is a foreign concept.

The kicker is, in this regional, I wouldn’t be surprised if the win the darn thing from the losers bracket. They could also get 3 hit by Fordham tomorrow and go home.

Wait...what?

[alum81]

Wait...what?

Did he really say it was better to lose?

[talktomewillis]

I don't know. I didn't listen. My comment was in response to it's KPEL's fault we are second level.

Two things. Yes, he did say it was easier to get to Sunday by losing the first game. But 10 minutes later talked about how hard the losers bracket would be. Very confusing. Second, my comment was about perception of kpel around here. I know fans who turn it off because the local shows are terrible. Imagine someone trying to get info on the Cajuns and having to endure terrible tunes Tuesday or a 30 minute Dairy Queen rant.

Or someone calls with a legitimate question and jay thinks they are hating and hangs up on them. Heard that one happen more than once.

[talktomewillis]

Well, I guess technically it is easier to get to Sunday. You play someone else who lost and if you win that, you play another team that just lost. You also avoid the best team until Sunday.

And, if you think KPEL's programming is to blame for your university's shortcomings I suppose you are entitled to believe that.

It’s a part. No bigger than anything else but still an issue. I try every morning and end up turning it off 5 minutes down the road.
