Oh well. 4 one run losses in our last 24 games. Had a chance to win em all. Thats the key here.
Could be worse guys. We could be tiger fans. Tee hee.
I think we still make a regional, but we need to start hitting the ball better than we have been.
Were in right now, just have to not implode like that team 50 miles east. This loss while not 100% meaningless, didn't mean a whole bunch. We take at least one from ULM we are guaranteed a top 3 finish regular season in sun belt. We win 2 we are guaranteed a top 2 finish in sun belt. We sweep, possible sun belt regular season champs if FIU can pull it out for us. The sun is shining bright right now. Let the cowboys dance their little waltz tonight, we have bigger fish to fry,or wait warhawks to fry.
We would have won if we had Poirrier and Fuselier in there
No it's not hypocrisy. A win is ALWAYS better, but the loss did not affect our conference record, it did not drastically affect our RPI and therefore will not affect our participation in regionals. There are 3 games remaining on the regular season schedule, all conference games. Those do matter.
Hypocrisy is when you perpetrate a Cajun fan and are not one. No... I'm sorry... that's just being an a-hole. Anyhow, Hawk gave him a crack so he squeezed in and jumped on the crumb. Your explanation is correct... whether Hawk meant it that way or not... the significance to our run toward regionals is not great... the significance to our pride may be a little larger.
If we are not deeper than porrier and fuze, we in some trouble. No question we had our oppertunities. And fuzes replacement had 2 hits and almost tied the game in the 9 th with a rocket off the wall that was 2-3 ft foul. My concern is the sluggish starts we've had. We had some awful at bats the first 3 innings and then again midway thru the game. Relief pitching did it's job....I was actually suprised how well wascom and bullaird threw, not having pitched in a while. I think those are 2 arms that we gonna need in the tourney. Wish traffica could have gotten some work cause I think he is someone that can take a long relief type role in the tourney as well.

I agree with lifetime about the sluggish starts. It seems that we arent getting going until the second time around. That seems somewhat consistent, even in this streak.
Robe talked about how disappointed he was with the bunting Sunday and throughout the win streak and said they would work on it. Well, with Monday off, I'm sure they got too much work in on so, they'll probably be getting on that soon. Not to overreact, but I think hopefully this will be a wakeup call to get them focused on improving their bunting in the clutch (even though we've had other wakeup calls on this same issue already.) It seems like Olasin's the only one who can get them down at times. Again, this is just a minor thing, but as we have seen, it can cost you a chance to tie or win. Dont take this as if I'm one of those people who thinks we've been scraping out wins and been lucky to be where we are. Far from it. We are still, as a whole, doing what we need to do to win.
Either way, its still a blow, albeit relatively small, to the RPI. Our guys didnt go out there to lose. We got to see some guys who havent played in a while and that's a good thing. I'm always disappointed in a loss, but I'm not losing sleep over this one. Just gotta learn your lessons from it and get it done Thursday.
