BB G2 Final: Louisiana 0, South Alabama 10

[Dad04]

We lose a weekend starter and our two best bullpen arms after this season. Martinez has potential. Whether he does anything with it is up to him. Listened to Deggs talking about Etheridge earlier this year and he mentioned how JT was willing to make adjustments, was receptive to coaching, and improved his game. I get it's beating a dead horse, but the flipside of that coin is Martinez's debacle in Houston. If that's the approach he takes to coaching, he might find himself in the portal before next spring. If not, he's got a chance to establish a role.

He was a D3 pitcher. Still might be one.

Plus we are making some freshman look like Sandy Koufax

There are more D1 pitchers that should be D3 pitchers than D3 pitchers that should be D1 pitchers

Question is how do we approach the conference tournament. In the past we have gone in with we had to win the tournament to get a bid and we killed our pitching trying to win it which we had to do which has affected us the next week in a regional. Now we know we are getting a bid if we win the tournament or win just one game do we get the same seed anyway. We have to be smart I Would assume on how we use our staff to set up success for the regional. Thoughts?

Go win the ____ing thing. I think we've done enough to get the at-large but if we lose this series and then go 0-2 in the tourney you'll give the committee more doubt than they need.

This is awful

[zeppelincajun]

hey 32, he is still a young kid

didn’t we all sort of have one at that age

He absolutely is and we definitely all did. That's why i said it's up to him. In that interview I was mentioning, Deggs mentioned both sides of guys reception to coaching. The guys who dig their feet in tend to be the guys who hit the portal. I for one absolutely hope he puts the work in with one of the best.

Maybe we’ll want to be on the field tomorrow. See y’all then.

That was not fun

That was not fun

Nope. Ugliest game of the year for sure. The good news is it counts the same as losing a heartbreaker in extra innings.

And nothing that happened today has any effect on tomorrow. Flush it and come out tomorrow and finish strong.

[ULvictory]

Welp, get that out of our system and come back to win the series tomorrow.

[RaginScotsman]

It sucked. We sucked.

But really have not been less upset after a run loss at home.

Thinking the team phoned it in like I did.

Bunch of line up changes. Would not have started Martinez, but he was not the reason we lost. We just stunk at baseball.

we did finish the first game with a W

Very true. Lots of interchangability. From 100 RPI D1 down through top 50 D2, 90% of pitchers are interchangeable.

The top 20 D3 schools can be included in the group. Trinity, where D Mart8nez transferred from is usually in that group.

Pitching staffs start getting deeper above top 100 RPI and deeper still in top 50. Top 10 is obviously very deep.

The jury is still out on him belonging in our group. He has flashes of brilliance sandwiched between periods of mediocrity.
