G3 Louisiana 2, Maryland 1

The ball going between outfielders legs and rolling to the wall cost us one of the Texas games didn’t it?

Yes, it absolutely did. I was just looking at box scores. It looks like they only scored the ball getting by Breaux as a one base error. So all those runs were technically earned.

Based on recent years success and the fact that this is a robe coached team, I believe the defense will settle in and be near the top of the belt. Hitting CANNOT get any less timely, and pitching will thin out the bullpen by process of elimination.

Texas handled LSU so far this weekend
Sam Houston is playing well against some p5s.

I think the 7 game stretch to start was pretty salty. That mixed with subpar play of our own got us behind the 8 ball early.

Cantrelle and Lahare have been shells of themselves. kasuls, who is a lead by example guy was out.

I think we can win 2/3 of our games remaining, problem is with the start we end up around 34-22 regular season. Right around where we were last 2 years. We all know where that got us.

Wow. That means they credited him a triple for a routine single up the middle. Either way, my point is defense has failed us thus far. If we can get it locked Down, and pitch like we did this weekend, we can win more 2 hit games like last night l.

Bad hitting, bad defense, horrible base running, better that average pitching. We are a bad team folks. I was thinking 32 wins before the season and that seems like light years away.

Without decent pitching we would probably be winless.

It is encouraging we figured out how accept gifted wins. Baby steps.

Hitting regressed to early 2018 levels batting .160 this weekend. Defense is well below any Cajun team in recent memory. Pitching saw some growth this weekend and will need to man up immediately to see .500 at the end.

I have no faith in the offense, the defense, or baserunning. Sad bcuz most these guys are upperclassmen Hopefully that is restored this year.

But at least they look good running the bases with their oven mitts.

Pouring down rain in Lafayette now. Good move to play two yesterday.

Two guys thrown out at 3rd in about 90 sec game 2.

Maybe Lott would have been safe at second if his oven mitt wouldn’t have fallen out of his back pocket when he rounded first.

That did slow him. I have seen a lot of high school ball over the years. The position players and line up reminds me of a high school team, a good one, but that level.

No NIT, not going to win however many in March, and no buy in tournaments. This season down to about 4 games mercifully

So are the continued hitting woes due to coaching, recruiting or both? This is going on 3 years of poor plate performance
