Tulane Thwarts Cajuns' Rally, 9-6

[CajunEXPRESS]

I may be totally off base here but perception is everything. I also find myself second guessing it because I've never met him in person and watching his dad in the past I tend to give him slack. But it sure does look to me like #5 is all about me. And I say that because all of the things he does to draw attention to himself, dyed hair, toothpick, etc. Just my two cents

I’m fine with him. Just wish he’d be a little bit better. But that’s just about anybody.

Last year Cantrelle struggled under JT and thrived under Wells. This year Wells is learning a new system along with the players.

2018: .115 over his first 9 games before hitting in 18 out of 20 games
2019: .125 over first 12 games before 14 gm hit streak and hits in 28 out of 30 games after the first 12

Its coming. Kid has hit for the cycle, had walk offs, 3 HR game, and at the very least set the table more times than anyone else (2nd in runs scored freshman, led as soph.) That's pretty much textbook leadoff guy

How hard is it to pitch around the only guy in a line up with a clue. Not very hard. It's a team sport. Nobody is hitting. One guy can't carry a team. It don't work thataway.

Thank you.

The trend is obvious. Struggles against better pitching in OOC games. Usually our best RPI opponents. Hits the daylights out of mostly mediocre SBC pitching. Lags again in postseason.

I’m not trying to marginalize the guy. Again, I think he’s a good player. I’m glad he’s here. It’s just time to deliver when we need him most. And a haircut wouldn’t kill him but that’s just me 🤷🏼_♂️

It’s worse than that right now. They haven’t had to find a guy to pitch around, yet.

[Dad04]

I understand that thought process, and respect people that have this opinion.

I just disagree. I’ve seen “dudes” play at this university, and we all know what they look like. To this point, I just don’t buy the hype. He’s a nice player, and I’m glad he’s here. I’ve supported him since before he signed. It’s time to step up when we need him most.

MLB projects him top 5 rounder for reasons.

They pitching around 5 guy just to stay in shape. They going by the book.

That is MLB hair, unless the S kankees take him.

Based on tools though, right?

Based on production when the team desperately needs him, he’s an UDFA.

And what about the errors - 15 errors last year.

How's the pitching in the Cape, wasn't he MVP or something? Probably better pitching than Southeastern/Tulane/Tech, nay? Remember when Barry Bonds struggled in the playoffs with the Pirates. Maybe comparing apples to oranges, but hitters are streaky, the great thing about Cantrelle is he has been able to still get on base and contribute even while struggling. That is the sign of a very established hitter in my opinion.

I think you guys are being a bit too hard on the kid. Who cares what anyone looks like or his hair color. Remember all those yellow hair players on our college world series team. C'mon now

In his youtube channel he comes across as more helpful than a me guy. Check it out, I didn't get that kind of vibe at all. If I had a kid that was an aspiring ballplayer I would recommend it.

The kid was a Cape Cod League All Star and far and away the most talented position player on this team.

He’s started slow every season. You may not be trying to “marginalize the guy” but you’ve ripped on him about 5-6 posts in a row now.

We are 4 games into a 56 game schedule. That’s the equivalent of the first half of the first game in a football season.

Good Lord. Sounds like some little league benchwarmer's mom.

It’s a pile alright. Pray it gets better or this thread will look like a walk in the park.
