BB Final: Louisiana 15, SLU 5

Jay walker just said on the radio that he expects to see their weekend guys tonight. Should be a much different game. Maybe more like the Marshall series.

Stuprich would be the one to be concerned about.

Assume we will see him. Lions don’t play at all this weekend. Dumb


2.52era with a 1.04whip. Damn our bad luck

He went 8 innings and threw 101 pitches Friday. I’m sure he’ll be out there tonight, although likely in a shorter (4-5 innings) role

Or shorter after we wear his _____ out

The argument could be made that a Friday/weekend starter in a mid level conference like the southland would have a higher era against tough midweek opponents. Aside from Lamar maybe, I don’t see another southland team with our lineup.

I heard or read but didn’t confirm la tech threw weekend guys against us before the non conference Arizona series. If so that’s 2 trap game situations 2 weeks in a row to try and overcome.

I think Tech threw a weekend starter one inning (Friday or Saturday guy), and they threw their main closer the last inning, which is something we’ve done done throwing LP this season, including last night.

ETA: Looking back, we threw Chase Morgan for an inning vs LA Tech midweek last month.

This is our 3rd opponent this year who is either having off weekend (SLU and McNeese) or a nonconference series in the middle of conference play (Tech). McNeese’s bye weekend wasn’t when they played us. Just curious if anyone knows anything about these situations. Seems like strange scheduling.

Both C-USA and Southland only have 9 schools, so there’s always an odd man out. Odd number schools create so many issues for conferences.

Jay mentioned that Aiden Vosburg (0-2 6.45 ERA, 22.1 IP, 10 APP, 2 GS, 29 H, 18K, 8 BB, 1 HB, .315 OBA) will be starting.

Well that’s a horse of a different color.

What are you talking about? We have nine guys with significant innings pitched all with ERAs of under 4.

Then we have Jack Martinez that can be very good when his command is there ... and if it is not, you go somewhere else. His OBA is .210. Stuff is nasty when on.

Then you have Blake McGehee who had some struggles when he had a hand injury. But that has now healed and he threw very well the last time out. Anyone that knows anything about pitching can see the talent here. He also has the genes ... saw his Dad pitch at La Tech and then subsequently in MLB.

7 shutout innings from these two tonight.

Too bad we do not have a deep pitching staff.
