Sortable stats for Sun Belt Baseball '22

[Dad04]

One thing is very consistent about this team and that is Deggs consistently sets them up to fail. I can remember multiple times this year first and 2nd no outs instead of laying one down and gettin 2nd and 3rd one out we hit into a double play. Last weekend we start the game with 7 bunts in a row. We need 1 in the 9th to keep it going get your lead guy on no outs. Instead of getting him in scoring position with 2 hacks at it we ground into a double play. Deggs has single handily cost this team half of the games they lost. He does not put them in position to be successful. He never does little things to scratch a run in here and there always trying to get em all back at once.

With the holes you speak of even more reason to play small ball more and manufacture runs.

I absolutely do agree more small ball, run manufacturing is needed, especially situationally. Sometimes we don't execute though, like last night.

In the 7th we tried to squeeze home a run from third with two outs and Robertson popped up the bunt. We are not good enough bunting for it to be reliable. Maybe Deggs thinks we can't dependably lay down bunts, so we need to swing away, which we really suck at too.

Robe said many times "Either a guy can hit or he can't". Stats say we can't hit, but I wish we could.

Roccaforte can flat hit. Doesn't matter if it is home or away, day or night, hot or cold. He flat hits, but he is largely by himself with zero protection in the lineup. Kimple also, but to a lessor degree.

Isnt this team built on offense?

That stats show we are near the top in pitching and defense, which wins championships…. Our BA is bad, but our SOS is 8th…. Let’s see what happens offensively by the time we head to Texas state…. If we are still at the bottom then I will concede this team can’t hit, but we are half way through and we are at .500 with a chance to make a significant push the rest of the way…. We will truly see if iron sharpens iron.

That's what we were told before the season. I watched us scrimmage LSU at the Box last fall. I thought we looked a about same at the plate and a little worse on the mound. That was optimistic, as it turns out.

I went to bed after they blew it open 6-3. The only bunt attempt I recall was after hacking at it, was when he put the bunt on with 2 strikes and fouled it back to the screen. Is that what you are referring to? My thoughts and I am not at practice is if you've got a team that cannot lay down the bunt across the board then you just do not practice it enough. I am sure Robe didn't go out and recruit bunters but his teams could all lay it down when needed.

I did not go to that scrimmage but everyone I talked to said we crushed the ball in baton rouge. One was the assistant head coaches brother and I think jay said the same in an interview. I take you did not see the same?

[LifeTimeCajun]

In the lineup tonight we have a total of 1 guy hitting above .300, 2 guys hitting .290, and the other 6 hitting below .280. Rincones, possibly our “hottest” hitter is still below .200 on the year. AND, as a team we have the fewest walks in the conference.

The name of the game is get into a regional… after that anything can happen.

You can not do that with a .500 record. And we have not strung together enough wins in a row at this point of the season to make anyone believe we can do that in a tournament format. I hope they can prove me wrong, but anything can happen.

That was not what what I saw. One game was close. One game we got blown out, as I recall.

They may have described their hopes and dreams. I came back and told my kid "We still suck."

Nobody is going to a regional with the worst offense in the conference.

Top 7th. 2 outs. Marusak on 3rd. TR pops up to C to end the inning.
