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

[CajunVic]

Since we’re having the discussion...

Imagine what Deggs would have done with Lott

🔥🔥🔥

He would have done a LOTT.

[CajunRage]

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

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!

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.

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.

Found this.

The Cape Cod Baseball League prides itself on being the oldest, most successful amateur baseball league in the nation. With roots dating back to 1885, the Cape League has helped foster the careers of thousands of top baseball players, from such stars as Hall of Famer, Mickey Cochrane to Jason Varitek. In order to play in the Cape League, potential players must have NCAA eligibility remaining at the start of each Cape League season.

This typically applies to freshmen, sophomore and junior class players from 4-year affiliated institutions, with limited exceptions. High school players, college seniors and college players with no NCAA eligibility remaining are ineligible.

The Cape League itself does not recruit players. Player recruitment is left solely to each individual franchise, facilitated through each team's manager. To find out the name and contact information for each franchise manager, please refer to our online Teams Directory. To ensure a manager/head coach is aware of your playing abilities, have your current college coach or a Major League Baseball Scout recommend you to a particular Cape League manager/head coach or franchise general manager.

The Cape Cod Baseball League opens doors to all levels of professional baseball. But how do players and coaches become involved in the Cape League, the nation's premier amateur baseball league since 1885?

The Cape League's well-managed 10 franchises have complete autonomy over the recruiting of their players as well as hiring their own coaching staffs. General managers and head coaches work tirelessly researching, investigating and ultimately recruiting prime candidates to become part of their organization for the summer.

In late May or early June, the Cape League holds an invitation-only tryout held at Clem Spillane Field in Wareham. A few lucky players are chosen from the tryouts each year, most commonly as temporary players to fill rosters spots while teams await the arrival of their previously signed players.

To be invited to the CCBL invitation-only tryout, players must be recommended by their college coaches; they must be a full-time college student registered for the upcoming fall semester; and they cannot have signed a prior commitment with another summer league. Players selected to try out will be notified in advance by the Cape League tryout coordinator.

If you are a college baseball player, your college coach should handle this process for you, as he likely would know best if the Cape Cod Baseball League is the right fit for you. Your college coach would then contact Cape League teams directly and try to arrange an opportunity. This entire process is handled at the franchise level between college coaches and CCBL field managers and/or general managers. Cape League officials play no role in this process. For those interested in coaching opportunities, a similar process applies.

To contact management for the Cape League franchises, go to http://capecodbaseball.org/teams/ccbl/ and click on any of the 10 team icons.

Player selection and coaching opportunities in the CCBL are highly competitive and involve a heavy amount of recruitment. We seek the "best of the best" and that might just be you! This reference page should assist you in gaining an understanding of how are players and coaches are selected.

Best of luck with YOUR career path!!

I don't have a problem with a coach sitting someone that has 7 hits in 56 AB's and an OBP. of .125. He's not hitting and he's not walking, so what is he doing to get on the field? And why would anyone request the Cape Cod league to take a player that is coming off injury and hasn't played BB in over a year. Do you read what you actually post? Seriously, all emotion and nothing rational.

Here's the deal, if he get's to 100 ABs and is still hitting less than his weight, what then? At some point if he is not happy playing at UL, he should go elsewhere. I certainly wouldn't blame him if he did decide to play elsewhere. College careers are too short to waste time in a program your not happy playing in.

All he had to do is ask Harris's dad or Cantrelle's and he would have been set straight. But it's much easier to blame a coach that allowed him to transfer in from his dream program that didn't want him anymore.
