Cajuns vs UNO

I think the reality is the lack of confidence is rooted in a deficiency of ability. They simply overachieve on Fridays, get a run, or two, or three and don't get in Gunner's way... The rest of the time it's a ____ show.

The team wants to make the conference tournament. Weekends are how that's done. Midweek games are now for getting inexperienced players up to speed. Sad but true.

I've thought such but you said it better.

5-games a week for a college student dictate in-game baseball education.

If any of you are wondering what the problem is...… THE MITTENS SHOULD ANSWER ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS. It shows the true intestinal fortitude of this group!!!

Also, they wear IT on their left hand and slide back into 1st with their right hand. They go into all of the other bases head first with BOTH hands. WTF is it for???

All of the other issues are also BS. If the coaching staff can't motivate these guys they ought to be fired. If the players are not producing, bench them and play the others. They made the college team so they should at least be decent ballplayers. Maybe they can find someone with FIRE IN THEIR BELLY.

Probably not an option, rather something that the coaches mandate. Frankly I can’t see myself wearing one without being pushed hard by a coach.

I see no reason not to trot out dupuy, frank, wiley, Spears, locheridge out there tonight and see what they got. What’s the worst that can happen? They win?

It's not mandatory. On SportsNote, Billy asked Babs about the base running mitts, the response was it was up to each player. You can hear it hear it at the 20:00 mark here:

My personal opinion: the mitts are stupid. Wearing base running mitts "just in case" something happens is about equivalent to wearing full kevlar body armor to a go hunting "just in case" you get shot.

These aren’t water hose players

I’ve been saying this since game 1...playing scared rather than playing fearless

I've forgotten more baseball than you'll ever know little man. You seem to think that you run this little forum with your 17,000 plus posts. If you can't see a problem here then you're more ignorant than you portray. But go right ahead and keep chasing those rainbows. We always have an excuse. Always a reason why we're struggling. Always a "yeah but". Now suddenly midweek games don't matter. Way to quit little guy. Maybe you need to march your _____ in the dugout and show us all how it's done. You are The King of Mediocrity.

I know you struggle with reading, so I’ll give you a pass on that. I have 60 years of coaching in my family. Baseball has been my life since birth, assbag. I have painted walls, swept bleachers, handed out concessions and caught fall bullpens for this program. I have given plenty of money, dedicated plenty of time and gotten to know plenty of players throughout the years. I’ve gone to Omaha and watched a number 1 seed fall out of an outfielders glove. I have plhssed away more baseball conversations, knowledge, drills, coaching clinics, camps, tournaments, fall balls, bullpens, pep talks, wall balls, etc than your blhtch arse has ever dreamed of.

You’re goddamned right my opinion matters more than yours.
