BB Final: Louisiana 10, Tech 5

[RaginDave]

Ben Tate gets the start tonight

sweet, looking forward to a good start from Ben, he has been solid recently.

The only game that is important right now is the next one. We can't think about Troy until we beat SLU. We can't worry about LSU until we sweep Troy.

Regardless our RPI is up to 63 with some really good chances to improve that the next couple of games.

Taylor 401
Marusak 406

Both were bombs! One thing I noticed last night during the National Anthem as the teams lined up, they clearly traveled with less players and support staff than what UL had. I wonder if it's because of cost cutting measures, this was an in state game 3 hours away.

I was very unimpressed with Tech's ability to make pitches with two strikes and two outs. I'm not sure how many runs we scored with two outs but it felt like 5-6. Even with a wide zone from the home plate ump last night, Loly Poly just couldn't finish our hitters.

Crowd was raucous last night. Felt like a Friday night in early May.

Big Bad John Taylor is my MVP at this point in the season. For too many reasons to explain.

SLU: RPI 131
Troy: RPI 48
LSU: RPI 4

If we can get on a heater, we can make up some ground pretty quickly. BUT, as you said, the only game that matters is SLU.

There is a pretty good chance of rain tonight in Hammond. (53%-67%)

We are also doing with without one of our best players (Kyle Debarge) and arguably one of our best bullpen arms (Dylan Theut), interesting to see how good this team can be when both of those guys are healthy. Also it appears that Max and Will are starting to see the ball a little better. I don't think either will be .300 hitters but if we get .250 or close out of both, we are a much better team.

Granted it is a small sample size, but Max is 9 of his last 26 in 6 games for a .346 batting average and Will is 4 of his last 13 in 4 games for a .307 batting average.

How long is Dylan out for?

I heard another 4 weeks, but I don't know if that's accurate.

He must have read on RP my breakdown of his swing early last week.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like all of SE Louisiana is about to get a Tropical Low pass right over it. I just hope Hammond is just far enough to not get affected that much so we can get this game in.

Mutts having a bad week. ULMOST beat them too.
