BB: Louisiana 4, LSU 8

You hate to see that event die especially for such a tragic cause. That is something I could not imagine going through as a parent. In an effort to not be a hypocrite, full disclosure here, I thought Wally Pontiff was an arrogant cocky little pr!ck as a player. Make no mistake about it he was 100% responsible for what took place at that BR regional, that eventually lead to Aaron Hill throwing his bat into the Cajun dugout, and the series being put on hiatus for several years. He was the $h!+ stirrer if you will. Even with all of that as a Cajuns fan I mourn his lost and my heart aches for his parents and siblings.

100% agree with all of this..........

This would be my lineup for the game tonight... and most nights, if I was the man creating the lineup card.

1. CF Marusak .316 - 2 HR - 13 RBI
2. 3B Robertson .314 - 2 HR - 16 RBI
3. LF Hood .275 - 2 HR - 14 RBI
4. 1B Roccaforte .345 - 7 HR - 40 RBI
5. DH Kimple .304 - 5 HR - 23 RBI

Some notes:
1. I feel like Deggs hasn't been protecting Roccaforte enough, he's entirely too easy to intentionally walk. I want to see Kimple batting right behind him every game to provide additional power to deal with if you put Roccaforte on base.

In the same vein of thought, I would add that I have always been of the mindset that your top hitter always bats in the first inning. I would also have Kimple hitting behind Roccaforte ... just in the #3 hole with Kimple #4. Hood would be #5.

Does anyone know any local places that might be carrying the game. Thanks in advance.

Would give Ray a short shot on the bump.

If Lefleur is inserted in the lineup id stick Debarge in the 8 or 9 hole and let him get pitched a little easier and i bet we see a little more production out of him.

[KajunKrazy]

Gotta keep Lafleur in the line up to get some ABs. He is gonna be huge down the stretch.

[ManAboutTown]

If Lefleur is inserted in the lineup id stick Debarge in the 8 or 9 hole and let him get pitched a little easier and i bet we see a little more production out of him.

Same line of thinking but I'd put him in the 7 hole and elevate Julian to 6.

DeBarge-6
Marusak-8

Don't they usually play the Classic in New Orleans? How come they're in Baton Rouge?

Something to do with Zephyr Field no longer being available. I think
