Where is our defense. Just let the runners score

Another mental breakdown in the field. The play is obviously at home.

The difference at this point is, their hitter got the bunt down, our hitter did not.

Because the probability that you get a hit or advance the runners swinging away against a pitcher like Nick Jones with an 0-2 count is lower than attempting the bunt. There is also the additional downside that you can hit into a double play. I have no problem with the call. Just need to execute when you have three chances.

FWIW, Double play was even alright, unless they get the lead guy, but more likely double play results in 2 out, guy at 3rd and a wild pitch away from winning. That said, I still think Bunt was alright, but I think giving him a chance to swing was a better decision, regardless, glad I dont make those decisions.

Just the type of things that happen when you keep changing positions.

Only 4 hits through 10 innings in a semi-final game of conference tournament is the definition of laying a big, cat, rotten egg when it matters.

I was very confused by that decision, either pin him at third or get him in a rundown.

Eh, its baseball, I personally hate this format, double elim was INFINITELY better, but baseball is a game of just a few breaks one way or another and things change dramatically. Early on, I remember runners on and hitter nailed a pitch right just right to second. it happens.

Dude the play was never at 1st. The play was always at home, everyone in the stadium knew where the play was. It’s not rocket science.

Maybe we should just recruit smarter players, because our guys are rocks out there.

If “it is just baseball” then you would expect for the Cajuns to have an dangerous lineup every 3-4 years. It has been a while since the Cajuns have fielded a lineup that is intimidating to opposing pitchers.

[axg8750]

Lada did his job to get into scoring position with 2 outs. Just need a clutch hit right here to extend the game.

[cajun55]

Wow

[axg8750]

And then Lada makes a bone headed base running error that could have tied the game. This game is the epitome of the Cajun baseball program over the last few years.
