Can someone splain me what happened to our once-poud baseball program?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Some teams, programs don't suffer cyclical as severely as others. Witchata State has been at a high level in baseball, Ragin Cajuns in softball. Saying cyclical is simply a built in excuse. Being a great program isn't easy, is a rarity. As soon as you start finding out why it's so hard you start becoming willing to accept losing as inevitable.

That's only because Lochridge hasn't been given the chance at SS!!!!

kidding

No, seriously I think Lockridge would have made that 2014 team! He should have played in the Cape Cod league his freshman season at LSU. All Paul Mainieri had to do is just give his name to the league and it would have been a done deal.

Consistency is the key. I'm keeping in mind the team has been a top 75 RPI program for many years. That is consistency in the big picture. Not this year and maybe not next year, tho.

[CajunT]

The ONLY positions Cantrelle could have played that year are 3rd (move Shug to 1st), 1st, or take Butler's spot in the outfield and adjust the outfield to factor in for his speed. He would not have played 2nd or short over Conrad and Trahan.

Wait, Shug played at Teurlings right? I think Lockridge or Dupuy would have been better.

LMAO. Can combine Lochridge and Dupuy and they probably still wouldn't have had as many hits or played with as much fire as Shug.

I like this two half approach especially cause the first half sucked. Now Monica and Lott are leading the team in hitting! We are finally over .500! Tech, LSU, Monroe coming up!!!!

Hate to disappoint you. Overall 13-16. The next 6 or so games will be hard to win.

Think you missed his sarcasm.

It's funny to see some fans using 2010 as a rallying cry because of Jay's article about the 2nd half of the season. This team is no where as good as the 2010 team.

Yep, detector on the blink. I actually don't see us getting to .500 this season.

Cantrelle would've started, I know this team had Trahan and Conrad, but one of those guys would have been moved to another position, Tyler Girourd was a good player, but Trahan, Conrad and Cantrelle would have been a great infeild ala Hunter Kasuls, but you would not have been able to keep both off the field. A healthy Gunner would have been one of the weekend starters.

Todd Lott would have been hard to keep out of the lineup. May not have been an everyday guy, but would have platooned.

Tell me your kidding? Hayden couldn't hold BT or Jace jock strap. Those guys were grinders, thrown down type of players who played with there hair on fire. Neither of those guys would have been moved for Hayden, thats a fact.

[JMV JustMyView]

CajunAmos. That is exactly what I was saying. You and I agree. I never said he would have started over Trahan or Conrad. I said he would have started somewhere.

You stated they would have been moved for Cantrelle, which means he would have started over them.

Let me say this, I don't think so either. But had he worked with Deggs in the batting cages are you saying Cantrelle would not have been a better hitter than he is today? I mean if Deggs is the man, then why wouldn't Hayden project better at the plate under his tutelage?
