2019 Cajuns Baseball Lineup???

[cajundiehard]

All the happy coach talk about players coming back better in the fall is pure BS. Nobody's buying it and they shouldn't be selling it. This is the offensive black hole until it's not.

WE LEAD THE NATION IN SAC BUNTS!!

Rant off.

I'm hopeful there is light at the end of the black hole after Talbot leaves SOON!

I know we had a winning season, won some nice games, but I am way, way beyond disappointed. I know I am not alone,

I typically agree with your stance on most baseball topics, but can’t help disagreeing with you on this one. Do you really think it’s possible to be worse offensively than we were this year? I just don’t see how that’s realistically possible.

The whole point to my thread last week was that I don’t give two ____s about our record. I don’t care if we strung together wins to somehow make a regional. Our hitting is god awful and needs to improve. I have very little faith in the future if he (JT) is here next year.

We keep digressing until we don't. I do get your point. There is precious little between us and 299th place in every NCAA D1 offensive catagory.

No team, not even one that sac bunts better than anyone, goes to a regional with a corner IF, let alone two, batting under .180. Never will happen.

Let the system continue to work next year and then revisit this post. Our offense has gone down every year for the past three years, why not continue along that same trend? Absent changes, the writing is on the wall (and in the stat books).

This is a very dangerous offseason coming up. Correct, demonstrative decisions need to be made.

Just my opinion, but for a multitude of reasons, I don’t think you see any movement regarding the staff for at least another few weeks.

We need to get this right.

What is Cal St Fullerton’s batting average this year? I do know they only had 12 or so Home runs this season and made a regional.

What is Cal St Fullerton's batting average this year? I do know they only had 12 or so Home runs this season and made a regional.

They hit .269, 151st nationally, well above our .242. Their ERA was 3.41, 17th nationally, also way better than our 4.49, which was 117th nationally. They showed precious little power at the plate, SLUG % was just .351, good for 245th nationally...still better than us.

They won three straight games at the Stanford regional, but only gave up 5 total runs. 6-2, 2-1, 5-2.

We got pounded in our conference tourney giving up 37 runs in three games, getting run ruled with one hit in the last game of the year.

They have great pitching and defense to go with average offense, but little power. We had good fielding, average+ pitching (117th best ERA) and horrible offense, but somehow won more than we lost. In game management was probably as good as it gets, despite some coaching deficiencies. We pushed all the right buttons to get and stay over .500.
