Louisiana vs Texas Game 2

[Rainman66]

1. We are playing a top 25 team and have lost by 1 twice.

2. The bats have been quiet, especially in clutch situations.

3. Defense and base running have been disappointing.

All of these are true. After two games, does it mean we are going to have repeats of 2017 & 18? Way too early to judge.

The real test will be how Wells works with the hitters during this time as they struggle. We aren't going to win the conference this weekend.

The overreaction so far is a joke. Watch the games. If coastal is what we think they are, I won’t claim we’ll beat them but we’ll finish second in a multi bid league. This team will win a lot of games.

Texas a better team than us at this point .. if we are like this after 10 games then I ll be concerned . We are not that far away from Texas just need to calm down and gell

No doubt. This is a much better team than last two years. Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Two pitchers need to be recognized. Brooks Batty threw 3 shutout innings and true freshman Jacob Schultz from Sulphur HS threw 2.1 shutout innings in his first college game.

Concessions have been a struggle this first weekend. They're still shaking off the rust as well. Hope it'll be sorted out soon.

I don’t think anyone is overreacting...just carrying over the basketball standards, we need to base expectations against our peers...ULM had 0 problems scoring against a team much better than UT...south al won on the road against a ranked opponent...Coastal is being coastal...But you are correct, there is plenty of time to get on track

Shultz is not from Sulphur HS, but he did pitch well.

Absolutely. Offense brutalized Henley yesterday. He will end up being a very good picture for Texas. UT staff made an adjustment with their approach against our hitters and it proved to be effective. Defense cost us the game yesterday anyway, specifically one play that turned a 1 run inning into a 5 run inning.

Judging a baseball team after 2 games is like judging a good sauce picante after you season the meat. We know nothing about this club so far, but the talent level is obviously higher. We had real opportunities to win both games.

Also, I know Young kinda lost his head. But his mentality on the mound was impressive. Not scared to challenge hitters obviously. Once he learns how to waste pitches and locate his change up, he’ll be filthy.

And then ulm got shutout by Air Force. What’s your point? If you are comparing scoring between uncommon opponents, I’m going to stop taking your posts seriously.

Yes, there’s some concerns here. But one opinion I have from yesterday...last year’s team might have not responded after being down 5-0. This one did. Against a Top 20 team (probably Top 15) who got a chance to work the nerves and kinks out a couple weekends ago in their alumni game vs some pro players.

I believe there is something different. They’ve just got to figure out how to keep that fight in the last inning.
