Exclamation point on the weekend. These boys are playing some ball
About 3 weeks into the conference season when it wasn’t looking real good I said it would suck for Monroe to eliminate us from the conference tourney at our own place. I will now graciously eat that crow! One thing I never did was doubt Robe and his commitment to this team. When people said the game has passed him by, he was riding the clock....I defended him and argued with those folks and said he has earned the right to get this corrected. People wanted Maggard to step in, people wanted him gone. I never thought that should happen. As he openly admits this isn’t the standard for this program, but this turnaround is one of the better ones he’s had with a team that was left for dead most of the season. These kids have guts and grit like some of the successful teams we have had. I’m sure there was some turmoil amongst them but to be able to get everyone pulling in the right direction was a great job by this staff. And that needs to be commended. Great job by this team
St.peters streak is impressive as well
Next season when playing ULM in baseball, instead of Louisiana on the jerseys, change to “ Daddy”.
Told my wife about the win...
Me: So we swept ULM this week...25 wins in a row.
Wife: Maybe they should just quit.
The way this team has turned things around is amazing. We went from possibly not making the tournament to being on the cusp of an at large bid. Was it the players stepping up at the plate on their own? Or JT coaching them up? Or just baseball evening things up after a terrible start? I don't have faith in the JT scenario considering the history of our offense since hes been here. I have the feeling like he will be back next year even if the only reason we turned things around was on the fortitude of the players.
Finished the year 21-7 in the second half.
Literally gave away 4 of the 7 losses. On top of the 5-6 games we gave away in the first half. And IMO, we are just now finding ourselves offensively (moving Cantrelle to leadoff, Danny to 3rd, resurgence of Todd Hott)..
I don’t even think we know what our baseball team is capable of at this point.
Btw, the offense is not what’s going to win or lose the conference tourney / regional championship. It’s up to the bullpen.
