Louisiana vs Tech

[CajunRage]

I think our memory changes things as time goes on. Deggs beat Bama and LSU with the bunt that season. Many other games where it was a primary weapon. But I agree with the premise that, because we could rake, the bunt became so much more devastating.

I think we led the nation in bunt singles.

As long as JT is still around, we don't leg kick like that around here.

This is Jake Wells’ offense now. He is the man. The decisions go through him. JT understands that. If Lott is not using the leg kick, he’s either comfortable now without it, or he’s being told not to by scouts.

I’ll see what I can find out about it.

Judging from only what I have seen so far of Well's system (I have no inside info). He seems to prefer a quieter load. He has a two strike approach we used in high school that I hated and that Tony Gwynn specifically roasted in his book. That is with two strikes, you spread out, crouch down, and don't move your foot at all. Just let your hands do all the work.

Mr. Gwynn's rebuttal was always, why have two different swings. You have worked on swinging a certain way your whole life to then try to change that with 2 strikes and expect to be successful? I have seen some people have success with that approach, but personally, I was with Mr. Gwynn on that one. It's one thing to shorten up a little with two strikes and another to radically change everything you do and are comfortable with.

Edit: for those that don't know, Tony Gwynn is still statistically the best two strike hitter who ever played.

It would be interesting to see Lott's swing from the Cape compared to now.

I will admit, I do not like that part of his style. Having said that, all I heard in the off-season was how the players had really taken to it. My biggest concern is our hitters falling back into bad habits when Wells’ technique doesn’t always produce. And I agree with your assessment of the modest load. I’d love to ask him personally.

Well that’s just fantastic news for this weekend.

Looks like planned rest. Would have been nice to go into this weekend .500 or better.

Unless we play a DH Sunday, it looks like we will play only one game with 90% chance of rain Friday and Saturday. I think they know they won't play Friday night and named Perrin that starter. I'm willing to bet if both days are rained out Leger will pitch some on Sunday.

BTW, I sent an email to sidearm about all the crap for last night's game, and they refunded me in just a few minutes.
