BB Final: Louisiana 8, LSU 5

[RaginDave]

The win jumped the Cajuns from #77 rpi to #64. Here's hoping this will be the impetus to get many more wins.

We are actually 62 this morning.

Working around Dylan Cruz was obviously the game plan and it was very successful. We took him off his game and ended his night with a K looking by Rawls, buckling his knees as he guessed wrong. This win could be the start of something special.

That was an amazing pitcher/batter battle. Loved how Crews walked off immediately knowing he got got. Credit to Crews too, the TSAB games I've watched - he is the real deal.

Crews is the real deal and also the only “likable” player on their team from what I have seen.

I have a lot of respect for many of their players. They're a very good ball club.
No respect for their coach, fans or media.

Why not Johnson, seemed like he had good things to say about us. I think they actually made a great hire with that move. I haven't really followed SEC baseball so maybe I'm missing something. A large portion of their fans/media I agree 100%.

Because I watched Jay Johnson ruin pitcher's careers with over usage at Arizona.

ULLing us to death for one thing. They are consistent with that. May not be him though.

D1baseball.com has us 5th in the first five out of field of 64.
Auburn, Xavier, Rutgers, Long Beach State, Louisiana

Interesting, I really don't know much about him. I give them props for going outside the "South" and making a west coast hire.

Back to our Cajuns, has this team really started to take on Deggs' personality more so than the first three years? Are we seeing a continuation from how last season ended? Our style of play is damn exciting, we run into some outs but we keep the pressure on teams that are not used to this type of game. If I were a top regional seed I would not want to see us in the bracket! Looks like we are only a couple big time pitchers away from getting back to the level most of us expect, put a Friday ace on this team and we are talking about a 1 or 2 regional seed type team.

I'm still enjoying the win over the Tigers today. LSU fans are upset and making fun of us but I don't care. LSU has a very good team and an explosive offense and will likely compete for the national championship. Their fans that feel a need to belittle us and ULL or USL us relentlessly need to take a chill pill and move on. For me, I'm going to continue to enjoy the University of Louisiana victory and look forward to the weekend's series.

He is a pocket sized Mike Trout. Future 5-10 time All Star. Watch him take BP online. Squares up everything.
