Cajuns are going to Take Down Bama Sunday.

That's the spirit!

Heck, bama run ruled most of their opposition this year, including an 11-0 run rule over a ranked Arizona team. As fans, should we be ok with being included in that number, no. But at the same time, have to respect the Tide. In ten games they've outscored the opposition 74-8, including the #8 (twice), #9, and #20 ranked teams. That's impressive.

To be fair we lost to bama both times last year and lost to LSU three times last year. The past few years, we’ve lost most of the ranked games we’ve played. And to start this year the first time we play a decent team we look like we don’t belong

North Texas and Tulsa are "decent teams". Alabama is a bit more than a "decent team".

Some of you need to stop being such drama queens.

5 hits and left 7 on base. You’re 1 clutch hit short and a “wheels off” inning where your aces could not throw strikes from being right in the game.

Yeah, this.

I don't think (a) pitcher(s) have had a inning like that since Jordan did a few years ago (against Ole Miss or Auburn?) in the tournament.

Not a sophisticated as some of y'all, but I think our competition up until now has been decent (at least) and we've more than held our own.

I'm really more inclined to believe last night was a one-off. I wouldn't anticipate getting run ruled much, if at all again, this season.

Man, Bama just seemed to hit every gap.

The baseball gods were definitely more with Bama than with the Cajuns last night.

As I read through the thread, I could only think that we have a lot of fair-weather fans or as some like to say casual fans. The big inning happened when our pitchers had pouring rain coming down. Not making excuses but that played a role. We made no errors and was out hit by two. Yes, we didn't get the timely hits but when given the fielding chances we played well. No, we didn't get the results we wanted but it's not the end of the world. We get Bama again on Sunday with no rain let's see how it goes. We may or may not win but I would bet you won't see all the walks and hit batters in one inning. P.S. Bama is no. 2 for a reason.

Good observations. The bad home plate ump should have stopped the game until the heavy rain subsided. Kandra, and probably the others, were having trouble gripping the ball. Looking forward to probably Sam Landry against Fouts Sunday.

What was the final out call on 2nd? Ump called her safe, then out?

Runner left first base too early.
