BB G1 Final: Louisiana 11, Coastal 9

[Million$Mullet]

Energy was electric at the park tonight. I was worried it was gonna be another one of those weekends where things just didn’t bounce our way at the start of the game. Several balls in the top of the 1st weren’t hit particularly hard for Coastal but just found holes.

I will say this…the stadium felt like “the tigue” tonight and not Russo park. Fans brought it. Players brought it even more. Blue calling balls and strikes…well never mind. It was a good night.

Cajuns just had what may be the biggest win of the season.

How about we talk about that?

Looks like Rocco is starting to catch fire. Veillon is on a nice run as well.

Like someone mentioned earlier in the thread, it was nice to see some of those balls that have been being caught in the OF find some turf tonight.

The starting lineup has done a really nice job this week. Hopefully Robichaux can get back in a groove soon. The two biggest innings of the game started with 2 outs and nobody on.

Also, and a 4 spot in the first definitely helps, but the energy was excellent tonight. Hopefully that will carry through the weekend.

The crowd was way into the game, which always helps. There were a lot more fans after a couple innings than at the national anthem.

I am really hoping Ben Robe can bust loose. His swing reminds me of Rocco's smooth, head still swing. He is too good at the plate to stay quiet much longer.

We handed CC a rare loss when they have 2+ bombs.

Theut injury is haunting me.....when he left game grabbing his elbow. Unfortunately his reaction was nearly exactly like my lefty son when he tore his ACL a few years back and again this year.

I hope it's nothing.....but what I saw was very bad Deja vu.

A typical bullpen session leading up to a return to mound will be 75+ full speed pitches and several of them before ever seeing live game action....58 pitches spread fairly evenly over 5 innings isn't the issue. It sucks but pitching arm injuries just happen.

All I know is that apparently he threw one too many.

So why should we respect an obvious troll

It will be interesting to see whether Rawls number will be called to pitch tomorrow after hurling 57 pitches yesterday?

Usually I think fans thinking they know more than coaches is hilarious and constantly complaining about them in real time is silly. But pitching this kid 5 innings was dumb, and even a casual baseball fan can see that.

Good morning folks. Strong Cajuns Baseball and great energy last night. 33% of the mission accomplished. Keep head down. Stay focused. Win. 66% of the objective remains.

We have some awesome fans, just need everybody there lil' bit earlier. Coastal is a coiled snake ready.

Let's Geaux Acadiana.

If we want to play ourselves back into at large contention we must win this series. A sweep would be even better.

I feel we just lost our best pitcher for a bullpen that I already have very little hope in… this is one the worst pitching staffs we have had at this school in a while… we have no ace, but just a bunch of bullpen arms that you hope play to the potential they have while praying we have a 6+ run lead going into the 9th so we can win. Some of these pitchers have good pitches but can’t hit the strike zone… we might have more hit batters and walks then we do strikeouts.

He threw 62 pitches over 5 innings. The 19 pitches on Tuesday is a moot point. Like another post said, they don’t even make you rest in little league after throwing less than 20 pitches. It’s just an unfortunate injury. We know our coaches can’t manage a pitching staff, but if they take him out and we start giving up runs, y’all would still be _____ing
