Louisiana vs Tech

[zephyr]

So then you must not like football, which has been shown to have less live action per game than baseball.

LOL. That is insane.

You commented how it’s goofy to be dissecting a midweek game when this thread stopped being about the game pages ago. Then you talked about it only being the 4th game of the season. This isn’t about one game. I don’t care if we get blown out 30-0 in one game. I’m more concerned that we are eclipsing 100+ games where the offensive woes are the overwhelming norm. That is what this discussion is about.

I was just taken aback with how many pages we've spent talking about a mid week baseball game in general, much less the 4th game of the season.

What’s your take on college vs. pro ball?

Don't like the sport. Period. I went to a Cubs game a couple years ago. It was fun to see the atmosphere and experience it but I couldn't do that 80+ times a season. I could go for a 4-5 inning stretch but that's about it.

Don’t be an LSU fan. Midweek games matter. Especially if you want to earn an at-large bid to a regional.

Low blow, man, low blow.

Carry on.

So this is the first time in 2 years + 4 games that we haven’t seen an offense worth a ____?! It’s not about losing to tech. It’s about a consistent downward trend of the baseball program. I’m really trying to give this team a chance this year but you ___king rose colored glasses apologists are making it extremely difficult.

I see some positive things going on but it has been long enough for the bounce back to happen. Time to see some results.

I totally agree with your assertion that we need to reverse a downward trend of the baseball program, but losing to Tech is a major reason this thread is over 20 pages long. Most of us absolutely hate losing to Tech in anything. Can you honestly name a single team that you hate to lose to more than Tech? I can not. Not Tulane. Not ULM. Not even LSU.

Still not the point. It was an issue Wednesday because it’s tech. It’s an issue now because we lost the series and possibly are getting swept by a south land team. It will be an issue if we lose the game to southeastern Tuesday or the series to Maryland next weekend. Are we going to wait til April to win our first series of the year again?

How many real doubles have we hit so far? Not hustle out of the box and slide under a tag double but like a gapper to the wall? Coaches preached OPS but our slugging needs tons of work.

Extra bases usually requires one to hustle out of the box

It was an important RPI game early in the season. They know that and did what they thought they needed to do to win. Who cares if they are pitching their weekend rotation on a Wednesday? It seems crazy and sad, but hey, who won?

I’m trying to take Neck out of the equation and look at it from a numbers perspective. One of our goals is to win the conference, the tourney and make the NCAA. Great. But we dropped 3 games against good teams that could help you still get in if we stub our toe in conference play or the tourney. It seems like the last 2 seasons we’ve looked back on “man, if we’d only closed out this game or that game then we’d be an at large.” Those same type games are mounting up early.

Several opportunities this year, but don’t let these “well, its one game” mount up. Those one become many of you keep adding them up. Then you’re on the outside looking in saying “woulda, coulda, shoulda.”

It was the SPs turn in the rotation. He started the 1st and 4th game of the season. Considering that conference play hasn't started what does weekend starter have to do with it?

Murphy's Bleachers or the Cubby Bear are fun before and after the game at Wrigley

This isn't MLB. It's wasn't his turn in the rotation.

Whose turn was it?
