It starts on Tuesday and only the 3,4,5,6 seeds from each division play that day. If you are the 1 or 2 seeds from your division, you start on Wednesday. You screw around with your pitching staff because you think you MIGHT play on Tuesday, it means you will end up playing on Tuesday.

Well Tuesday then, Deggs discussed pitching decisions against Troy and keeping the tournament in mind

[GeauxLA]

No game tonight, so no issue with pitching decisions for a standard 3 game series that begins on Thursday.

So we pitch on 5 days rest this week and next, as will our opponents, most likely.

Between Arighetti and Cooke, if they're "on" come tournament time; our bats are capable enough to do the rest and advance us to the semifinals. From there, we have Perrin, Robinson, Burke, and a few others to do the rest.

I'm feeling good about this tournament.

Nobody in the tournament should scare us. Pitching will probably keep us in games. The teams are fairly even. So, the winner will be the team that wants it most and simply refuses to lose.

We are about to find out what this team is made of. We will know in 12 days.

I've never understood what "who wants it more" means.

I've never understood what "who wants it more" means.

It is definitely an odd statement for athletics for diamond sports. In regards to baseball, you can simply want it more at the plate, but for one reason or another you just don't get the pitches you're expecting at that point in the count. Next thing you know you've grounded out to 2nd.

Just speaking for myself personally, I want to see a Cajuns team that appears 100% focused mentally, knows where to go when the ball is hit to them, all-out effort on the bases and minimizes the watching 3rd strikes. Especially where it's not a 3-2 count (because I can understand watching an extremely close pitch expecting a Ball 4).

Despite the aggravations that have been posted on this board and another, I do think we have a squad that has what it takes "intestinally" to win the tournament, and be a tough out in a Regional. However, it'll take some work to make that happen. Our hitting needs to be able to complement our superior pitching.
