His 1, 2, 8, 9 hitters for the most part were small ball slappers. His 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, hitters for the most part smashed. He had the best of both worlds.

This. I have talked hitting philosophy with Mike many times over the years. He was a proponent having speed at the top and bottom of the lineup. He wanted his slappers to get on and have his power hitters get the rbi's. With that being said, if forced to make a choice, he would take a power hitter over a slapper any day, all day.

Edit. In regards to slappers, Mike preferred a "power" slapper in the mold of Karli Hubbard more so that a true slapper in the mold of Vallie Gaspard.

One exception, and I believe she was around only for his second season with the Cajuns…Keeli Milligan.

But seems we never got another one like her in the lineup afterwards.

You forgot about Ms Davis?

Hey I know Vallie very well.

Affirmative. Money talks.

It's confirmed--she announced on her social media to TT. It's being reported that
she's getting paid $1.2M from the "Matador Collective".....

Apparently. I don’t have the memory for all the players and stuff. I remembered Milligan because my daughter liked her at the time and chose to wear #4.

Apparently, its only a 1 yr contract

So TT basically bought their WCWS contender using this formula:

Buy good coach + Buy his major contributors + Buy elite pitcher

This era sucks.

With the help of Adidas and Patrick Mahomes…

We'd need 100,000 Krewe Allons donors at $10 to afford a single softball pitcher.

NIL is a rich man's game. Small donors should be funneled to RCAF, and the whales should be funneled to Krewe Allons.

We can't seem to figure out how to attract enough small donors to buy a beer at Cajun Field, and our whales are very small dolphins compared to the blue whales that some other programs have.
