Don't expect a 1 year turn around in run production

[Rougarou]

Just a question about‘pressure’? Do y’all submit that they had more pressure to produce than our CWS team that finished essentially in 3rd place? I’ll take the pressure excuse for a single game, but not the entire weekend.

I think overall this is an apples and oranges comparison. That CWS team indeed had more pressure to produce. But this was a team that was had overcome their drought already and was very confident. They were bonded as a team by that point. So the pressure, although more intense, did not effect them as much. Just my opinion.

I don't know if our guys had as much pressure Friday night as they did Saturday afternoon and then even more on Sunday afternoon. Those slumps can build in a way that screws with you mentally.

Friday, they were swinging at stuff they probably wouldn't normally swing at (fastballs way up in the zone) showing me that they were pressing. Trying too hard to get the big hit on the big night. Which is not good against a Friday night arm. They were letting the pitcher dictate the action instead of hunting.

You can literally take nothing away from this weekend, other than, we will be very good defensively and starting rotation has much higher upside than last year.

Can not believe we’re already doing this crap...

Yes, I’m for the “turn the cheek” analysis and wait for more baseball. 5 games coming up gives plenty of opportunity.

Exactly. Even if they end up stinking, what else can we do but support these guys and the program this year?

I wasn't expecting much from this weekend to be honest. A lot of distractions, a new coach, new players, different mentality from the managerial position.

The biggest complaint I have heard is not so much that they lost but the manner in which they lost. That is, Deggs getting on the radio and saying how he wanted the nastiest bunch of players he could find and that he wanted opponents to know what was about to happen when they walked into that ballpark.

Granted, these opinion were coming from people who have that football mentality when it comes to losing in baseball but I can understand this train of thought when the only thing nasty from this weekend is the taste in our mouths.

Let's keep an open mind and see how they build off this disappointment, that's when we will see how nasty these guys are in my opinion.

Yes, I was disappointed in the way the Cajun hitters performed this past weekend. But please forgive me if I don't jump off of the cliff after the first three games!

Difference between winning and losing can be measured by the amount of “they” instead of us or we in the comments.

Profound.

I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out.
