BB G2 Final: Louisiana 2, JMU 13

I was not Robe's doc. However, cardiac patients can have very limited abilities to live normally. Lightheadedness, shortness of breath, cognitive issues can be symptoms. Robe was a not well man and probably for a long time.

He selflessly took on the problems of those around him, helping countless folks as his calling. That likely did not help him physically.

All coaches at UL should have to pass a physical twice a year and under go stress test twice a year.

There were MANY people on here who wanted Robe fired towards the end…and most wanted Deggs to take his place.

Yep...

This is an embellishment of the truth at best. There were a few fire Robe folks. Most people wanted him to fix the glaring issue with his hitting coach/recruiting coordinator. There was significant concern if he would have the stomach to do that. The people who realized standards were not being met were not wrong and Robe admitted as much in one of the last interviews I heard from him.

Whether or not Deggs can return us to some semblance of greatness is yet to be determined. The fact that he can’t get better results than this out of a team that was billed as “bought in” “alpha dogs” “his type of guys who were ready to throw down” etc etc is not a good sign. However, this is UL. Regardless of grumblings from fans, Deggs will have PLENTY of years to write his own legacy.

Winning is hard enough, which is why you can’t have what happened Friday night happen. If they don’t out coach themselves on Friday we going for series win today. Our coaches have given away too many wins, more than the players have IMO. Whatever analytic sheet told you to pull Marshall for etheridge should go in the trash. If it was a gut feeling, that probably was meant for the toilet.

Today will say alot about this team. Baseball is about bouncing back from failure and making adjustments. Who knows maybe we can do what we did last year to advance. It shouldn’t come down to this but here we are.

I saw something i have not seen at any point this season yesterday. Moral looked down and we looked beat early in game. That hasnt happened many times under Deggs. I hope its not a sign of things to come

Losing the night before they way it went down possibly carried over. And the Saturday beatdown well could carry over to today.

Somebody needs to turn the spigot on for the water hose.

I’m sure confidence in the game plan can be hard to maintain when seeing some of the decisions being made.
