Btw, Miss St brought literally about 5000 fans last night. Very impressive fan support. Total attendance was almost 6000

Back in 13 and 14 he had a guy that wrote the lineup card. Its totally different when you got the pen in your hand. Say what you want, Robe knew what buttons to push and when to push them

I'll respectfully disagree. Tony wrote it but Deggs was in the middle of it. That's a fact. Credit to both guys.

Agree. And I get it. I'm not really for or against. Just annoying af a large majority of the time. I think it says a lot that we improve down the stretch of the season when roles are truly defined. Baseball is a game of regimen and expectation and I can only imagine how difficult it is to have your role constantly being changed. Conference play this weekend and we are still auditioning for key roles. Not my style, but it's what we got. I just want to win.

It can absolutely be frustrating. I get that as well but as you said, "it's what we got". We just gotta roll with it.

Two take aways for me is we left too many on base in scoring position. Situational hitting still needs to improve. And pitching roles are still being worked out. Both need to start falli g into place this weekend.

Agree 100%

There are WAY more available solid pitching choices this year than last. There’s still no true #1 starter, but there are a lot of options, and plenty of capable bullpen guys.

And the offense is good enough. Their only issue to this point is, as you pointed out, situational stuff.

And those things usually evens out after the ebbs and flows throughout the year.

One interesting thing about this years team is an over abundance of left handed bats. Normally teams have the opposite. There are a lot of LH hitters that deserve ABs. And not enough spots for them all. And when we face LHPs, the RH hitting reserves haven’t been getting it done.

They both wrote it. In fact it was written as a staff. Keep in mind Babb was on that staff also. He had been with Robe for a very long time at that point. He knew how Robe wanted to play. Tony could could control some of the outlandish knee jerk decisions we see today with personnel mives

I would like to congratulate Coach Deggs on reaching 10 years of sobriety when we played McNeese over there. I'm sure that is a tough road to travel and he has stuck to the course.

I had not heard about this until I read my latest Diamond Club email.
