Robichaux despises the three-run inning

[Turbine]

I get that we pitch against the 3 run inning, but so often in past years we used the sacrifice bunt which would be the opposite of hitting for the 3 run inning. Never understood this from Robe.

I also don't comprehend the either/or philosophy.

Allowing as few runs as possible and scoring as many as you can (simultaneously) seems like a much better model.

Maybe someone should let Robicheaux know if you score more runs than the other team, you'll win. He could put that in his book. Wait, too late, he already wrote his book. Shucks!

Gonna be interesting to see how many fans fall for the recruiting BS. Not gonna recruit your way outta this mess with this coaching staff. Hit .242 last year. Hit .266 year before. Hitting .266 this year.

They can blame the players all they want, but it's on the coaches. No pitching and no hitting.

Many fans are coming around, but Robe has his ardent supporters (same as ML has his ardent supporters). They take Robe's word as gospel. Many see the BS coming out of Robe's and Bab's mouths these days, however, there are many who will take the BS given out and believe it as the absolute truth and continue to accept the downward trend.

No one is accepting it, some just want to see the current staff turn it around. Some give the head coach that had us #1 in the nation a handful of years ago a longer leash. Not a crazy way of thinking based on our history the last couple decades. If things don’t get turned around soon some of the more patient supporters will also throw in the towel and expect changes. Many are not there yet.

I'd have to check but my gut tells me Well's method (hitting) is paying off in the second half of the season.

If I'm not mistaken Degg's didn't have first half year results that indicated 2014 was going to be as good as it was.

Not a fair comparison.

One is sports game philosophy related, the other is not.

Heck.....this year I'd like to keep the opponents big innings to 3 runs......

Well said.

UL would have more victories for sure.

You may want to check your stats for 2013 with Deggs :

.317 Team BA
.503 Team Slug
.397 Team OBP
74 Team HR's
432 Team RBI's
1105 Team Total Bases

Yeah, there were a few indicators. Top 5 in the country in a few of those categories as well in 2013.

This team under Well's in his first year is light years away from 2013.

That's proof for sure.

Why did I think Degg's started off slow?

Didn't he finish the 2012 season?
