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

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?

The question I asked was intended to imply those guys with Deggs vs current guys with JT/Wells. All of the discussion makes is pretty clear. Cantrelle possibly could have played out of position on that team, but other than that, we don't have a single player on the roster playing well enough to supplant anyone in that 2014 lineup. That tells you just about everything you need to know about where this program is trending.

I believe Cantrelle would no doubt be a better hitter under Deggs, I just think Conrad and Trahan had more skill set and natural ability/talent than Cantrelle. No question those guys defense was way better.

But let's place it in context then. Because those guys success at the plate was tied to their work with Deggs. So if you are going to compare them to our current team, Deggs is part of that formula of success and that needs to be considered when drawing conclusions.JMO

Glove wise Trahan is better, no doubt. Both kids played QB in HS and Cantrelle is every bit of an athlete as Trahan. I watched both in HS play and there is no question in my mind.

LOL - you want things placed in context when it pertains to YOUR GUY, but when it does not pertain to YOUR GUY, that concept goes right out the window. I'm laughing a lot today.

Since we’re having the discussion...

Imagine what Deggs would have done with Lott

🔥🔥🔥

I'm using the comparison from the state of the program perspective. Old formula was those players with Deggs. New formula is these players with JT/Wells. It's a clear indication that we need better coaching and/or recruiting. Both of which fall on the head guy needing to make bigger changes on the staff than his please the masses shifting of responsibilities. We went from a lineup of 9 guys that could have started on any team in the country to a point where we can't even put a consistent lineup together against sunbelt competition.

Agree!

I'm still laughing at the fact you think all Coach Rob had to do was call the Cape Cod league and request Cantrelle be allowed to play. That's not how it works, Coaches can request what they want but the final determination is decided by the league in coordination with MLB.

But I'm still willing to give your boy a chance to show what he has, unfortunately his bat is slow through the zone. He should have enrolled at LSU-E like his former teammate and worked the rust out. He's has the entire second half of the season to show what he can do now.

Not sure. I don't necessarily agree about Hannie. No1 has been a long-time Hannie proponent on this board. He does it a little cryptically many times though. That's why I posted what I did.

Call me arrogant or whatever you wish. I know what i'm talking about. I've seen what he can do if given the opportunity. As I stated before. Stats don't lie. Some players who are struggling and struggling big time are never taken out yet others who show extreme promise and ability are never given a chance. I call it like I see it.

You can laugh all you want, however if YOUR coach is not behind you, you not going to the COD.

Further, If YOUR coach is behind you, you get opportunity after opportunity after opportunity no matter your performance and you are in the line up day in and day out. You can laugh about that also, but it is a fact specifically proven over the past 2 years.
