Louisiana vs Texas Game 2

[Cajunrunner]

Yep that’s RP. One extra and a one run game against the #16 team in the nation. Not happy either but I’ll give it a while

No ____, especially the way our guys started playing down 5-0. Everyone counting them out. Yes, the last at bat strikeouts are a concern, but I’m good with the aggressive baserunning. We know we don’t have sluggers like in ‘14, so we’ll need to try and move people and manufacture runs against good teams.

That’s how Glasco got it done last season after his power-hitting transferred.

My biggest issue yesterday was the caught stealing in the 8th inning.

Down 2, get the leadoff man on, and hit and run?? Play makes zero sense there and that's not to mention the fact that Breaux missed it, the runner is out and then Breaux looks at strike 3.

Calling for a hit and run there, or even if it was a straight steal and looked like a botched hit and run, that's just not good baseball.

Agree 100%. I understand why, but I don’t like the decision. Even if it works, all you really gain is avoiding the DP.

[CajunProud]

Wow. Amazing that you can make that determination after watching the 1st two games of the season. Absolutely amazing !!

I certainly hope I’m wrong and will be the first to admit it if I am. I see the team as a 35 to 40 game winner, but not a regional team unless they clean up the silly mistakes. I know it’s early, but I just hoped to see a little more/different than what I saw last year at this time. I’ll be at all the home games and a few away as well.

My biggest worry is we have only hit in 2 innings of the 19. Not good at all
And way too many k’s Looking

They have scored in three innings. Only one with a crooked number. Competition has a lot to do with that however.

Yes. But you’re down 2. You need baserunners and gave away one that had just been gifted via a walk. So we immediately make a guy swing at a pitch, regardless of location. Runner has to check the batter to make sure and not get doubled off, so probably dead meat if there’s no contact. Exactly what happened. And now the batter is behind in the count and in a hole.

The reward is a hit and 2 on at the corners. Normal case, it’s basically a sac bunt and you gave away an out to put a guy in scoring position, who even if he scores, you’re still behind. Or you miss it and the runner is toast.

Risk not worth the reward in that situation. It’s not smart baseball.

Does anyone know who’s starting on the mound today?

[Frenchie35]

Attendance today will be short of the 5591 and 5517 we had for the first two games. Losing will do that. And it's a Sunday.

Those are tickets sold so it might be not that far off from those numbers today
