Louisiana vs Tech

[Tell The Truth]

No joke...he can't be serious by saying that. Here are the stats from the Baseball website that I posted the other day:

"Louisiana leads the all-time series, 80-66, and has won six of the last 10 meetings between the two programs. Under head coach Tony Robichaux, the Ragin' Cajuns are 29-12 against the Bulldogs.

TECH HAS WON 5 OF THE LAST 7!!!

Another side to it is that leg kick helps with timing if you have natural quickness and fast twitch. Even when those 2014 guys faced 96, they had their leg up when the pitcher was releasing the ball. I have always believed getting the front foot down to early can actually slow your swing down because it is out of rhythm with no momentum.

Hence, what is meant by "way out front" of the ball. Caleb was the biggest leg kicker I recall here. He was really good at it.

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

.....Why are the guys jumping on Trahan if he isn’t coaching the hitters and what happened to question the umps in the 10th...not at home so didn’t know!

Josh Donaldson still is and that guy is elite with the stick when healthy.

Forgot about him. I think he missed a lot of games last year.

and how did the basketball game go? this is getting irksome. it would be much more fun to talk about beating them at something than having to go the way of tarps or inbreeding.

Beat them and we won't have to do any trash talking.

Tired of reading about bunting costing us games. They are using metal bats. Need to be able to drive the ball in the gap and over the wall. Stop hoping to score runs by manufacturing and start producing.

We don't have the players capable of doing that. We are a small ball team. The problem that i see is that kids these days don't have the proper fundamentals of how to even hold the bat to bunt, much less being able to execute it.

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.

All turf field, so barring storms and or lightening, not out of the realm of possibility to get them all in...one way or another. Radar is favorable, as of now.

The players we have SHOULD be able to do it. Lott, Monica, Wiley, Lochridge, Windham, and Frank all have the potential to be gap to gap hitters. Not to mention Kasuls and Cantrelle. The approach just sucks. Hoping to see a pitch to hit instead of expecting to see a pitch to hit.

You are talking about two different things. The 2014 team mashed but could still execute the fundamentals of baseball. What’s so hard about being able to hit and still get a sac down when the game is on the line?

Strentz kick was probably a little bigger from my recollection but you can run down that 2014 lineup: Adams, Conrad, Strentz, Harrison, Shug, Butler, Trahan, Compton. They all were kickin. Probably helped that Deggs didn't care if you missed an off speed pitch by a mile. The entire goal was don't get beat by a fastball. So even with the leg kick if all you are looking for is FB, it is easier to time up even with high velo for good athletes.

Well, hitting is one of the hardest things to do in all of sports, BUT these first four games and all of last year makes it seem damn near impossible. Bunting is all about determination. If a player is determined to give himself up and focus on getting the bunt down, it will happen. However, I still think our approach at the plate needs to change.

We have hit a lot better, just not when it matters. Last 2 years we couldn’t do either
