UL Softball Loses Back To Back Games To Texas

[RaginScotsman]

Showed some fight at the end. Pinch hit a freshman who strikes out on 3 straight pitches. Don’t fault the decision. You’re playing to get the hit and you go down swinging.

Bottom line is they're just not what Cajun softball fans are used to and it’s not a great feeling. I know Glasco takes losing hard and this is probably tough to watch. But they’re just not a great team. That could change, but right now, watching them play good teams, they’re far away from Cajun teams of the past decades.

Welp. 10-2.

We’re in danger of going 0-6 against power 5 to start the season.

I can understand why some people are panicking.

1. This is pretty much uncharted territory for Cajuns softball.

2. They’re not beating anyone special and getting blown out by any team with a name.

3. Pitching has not inspired confidence. We have more pitching changes than a mid week baseball game. There is no clear ace or arm you can rely on with consistency.

4. The lineup has been really good at times, but are pedestrian when facing decent to good pitching.

That doesn’t really make you appealing for an at large.

Landry is the clear ace and the clear consistent pitcher.

When u have 6-7 freshman in a lineup its not going to be pretty all the time. This is D1 softball not travel ball

It didn't look like D1 softball with all the errors and mental mistakes. Schorman pitched very well in the 2nd game. She gives up only 2 unearned runs after an error at 2nd on a routine ground ball. They didn't look ready to play, hard to understand.

UL Softball was coming off of a win against Georgia State to start Sun Belt play. They faced the Texas Longhorns Wednesday in a doubleheader. The Cajuns lost both games, the first 10-2 and the second 3-2.

Even when Lotief had lots of freshmen, they still had lots of fire power in their bats. Where are our bats??

[raginbeef]

Why haven’t we started Schorman yet? We only bring her in after Lamb has put us behind the 8-ball. She has streaks of bad control from time to time, but she’s dominant the rest of the time. Far better than what Lamb has shown. Lamb has seemingly not improved from last year and that’s very disappointing. It’s time for her to move to the bullpen

He will learn

He will NEVER learn . . .

A few weeks back I stated our team would have to win the tournament to make the NCAAs. I was “greeted” with questions regarding my sanity. All I did was look at our team without wearing vermilion shaded glasses.

There isn’t an OOC lifeline left. As far as the consecutive series wins, means nothing unless it’s a sweep. And all that does is position the Cajuns for the SBC tournament.

The bigger concern is becoming irrelevant…out of sight, out of mind to the softball world. It’s a downward spiral no Cajun fan wants to see. This absolutely needs a fix next year.

We had a burp a few years back and bounced back. We can do it again. But UL needs to be a destination in the portal world to maintain past successes.

Here you go. Lotief always had the cajuns hitting the ball. Now we are blaming umps for everything.

UTA beat #10 OU last night. If you needed to feel worse.
