We get a hit and CJ gets a left handed pitcher. Maybe we in for a little run.

Or not.

Well, Robe said your record says who you are. 11-10 says we’re average. That’s a bit kind for most of us.

At least we won the first game...

TCU pitcher sitting 93-97. Slider 83 for strikes. 10 scouts here to see him.

Vic would like to talk to you. When I mentioned on the other board that scouts were there vic said they don't scout on sundays. He is clueless.

I said they don’t usually scout pitchers on Sunday. You are clueless and you can’t read to boot.

I also said most sitting in the scouting section were wearing TCU purple or Cajun’s red.

You are incorrigible.

A few observations as we go into conference play next weekend
1- our best baseball is in front of us. Unfortunately we will have to win the tourney to get into postseason play. And i think we have the depth to possibly do that
2- we have got to throw strikes, eliminate walks, and play better defense. Period. End of discussion. 92-95 out the strike zone does us no good.
3- if we see the same quality arms we have seen in the past 2 weeks during conference play...we in for a long rest of the season at the plate. I keep hearing “we compete hard at the plate” but im not sure what that means anymore. If swinging as hard as u can with a big long swing is competing hard...then we competing our azz off. We have shown no sign of making any sort of adjustment what so ever.
