Wasnt the pitching staff suppose to be the bright spot and carry this team?

Wasnt the pitching staff suppose to be the bright spot and carry this team?

Pitching is 2nd in the league ERA and 1st in strikeouts. The pitching is the bright spot, but good pitching only gives the hitters a chance to win, at which they have been woefully inconsistent.

We are 12-11 and pitching has failed (not given us a chance) 3 times, LSU, TCU, So. Miss. That's not bad. We certainly had several chances to win today. Left bases juiced twice. Pitchers didn't leave 12 on base.

Cajuns batters struggled to get a clutch hit, and the pitching had issues with walks in a 5-3 loss in game 2 to Coastal Carolina.

Progress was made, but still no cigar.

It’s getting to be a troubling trend for the UL Ragin’ Cajuns: Play great on Friday and then not being able to follow it up the rest of the weekend.

That was our game. We will not be that good if we can’t ever get that clutch hit.

We need to be drinking out the water hose again!!!

While i dont disagree with what you are saying about the offense, other than our friday night guy we have been very suspect despite what the numbers say. In fact the numbers should reflect a downward trend in the past 10 or so games compared to the first 10. We have been in almost every game thus far and a clutch hit here or there would reflect a much better record. But i feel the pitching hasnt been a sure thing

[Dad04]

I think we agree. It's basically a .500 team, so the weaknesses in each area have made themselves known.

The team ERA has gone up a half run in the last 5 games, so yes pitching has been less successful.

If Durkes and Angel get better, we can win close games and be the pitching staff we thought we had.

Some of our best hitters are not the best defenders, so that's a problem too.

We sitting around 60 RPI. We can still have a great season, but we need a lot of games like Friday, starting very soon.

"Some of our best hitters are not the best defenders, so that's a problem too."

That has been a big problem; 3rd and 2nd base primarily but yesterday both of those positions were played well, in the field and at the plate. Maybe now with some confidence and repetition the team will be able to play more consistently.

GEAUX CAJUNS!
