I was pretty clear the bullpen/pitching depth is a weakness. Starting pitching has been good, Leger’s arm is a concern. I change those projections to .500 If he’s not a regular starter on Fridays.
I could be wrong but only one Robe coached team has finished under .500 in this millenium. 2003 team won something like 19 out of 21 to finish the year at 30-30 after a rough start and had a chance to win the conference on the last weekend. I’ll be more concerned if the team does not continue progressing. This is a better team right now than it was a month ago.
Just trying to look at some positives. We have alot of guys hitting at or near .300 now. Things can change quick in small sample sizes of baseball. I do agree we need to show consistency.
The positives are Lott getting better, Cantrelle getting super hot at the plate and an occasional solid start on the mound. If you want fans to hold their breath for a May conference miracle, it's just not a realistic goal.
I know the team needs a reason to play, and with a 115 RPI, the conf. tourney is it. I prefer to be pleasantly surprised.
We have been handed wins gift wrapped several times so far. McNeese, Loyola Marymount, today, Maryland come to mind.
