UL/MT (Tournament day 2)

[HoustonCajun]

_ Oh so now we weren't trying to win?

Maybe the breaks didnt go our way. Maybe if the two balls caught on the wall go 5 feet further, the story is different. Maybe last night, Marze catches a break and gets a double play to get out of the inning or gets a strike called instead of a ball.

Geez people. We lost. Move on.

If you think our guys mailed it in, take it up with Robe. _

Back to the game. What inning and is the score still 3-0?

[SlappyCajun]

losing is never good. I'm not trying to spin this into a positive. Just take it for what it is, after two months of playing out of their minds, a young pitcher gave up a big inning last night, and they were terrible offensively today. Guess what they are conference champs, and going to a regional. Should we jus decline the invite and stay at home since we lost two in a row at the Sunbelt tourney?

Baseball and Football are totally different. Not too mention, the Saints rested players, TOLD us that they were not going in these games to win them, but yet were trying to get healthy for the playoffs. Celtics, again, not baseball, and totally different situation. Those guys are a bunch of old vets that had plenty of nagging injuries that hampered their play.. None of these things are comparable.

Again, no matter how you spin it, this is bad for the team..

_ Yea, baseball is much more mental than any sport. Confidence plays a much bigger role in baseball than it does in football. In football, you go out, and hit ppl, you block ppl, you catch, you run. Baseball has such a majorly different mental aspect. Momentum has a lot to do with confidence. _

Its two games. We just won 17 out of 18 conference games and now all of the cohesiveness and unity is completely gone?

If you're right, then next week we'll join you in sulking after we go 2 and Q. If you're wrong, then you get to enjoy some Cajun baseball in a regional with many of us. We'll find out next week I guess.

First of all, he's saying that you ppl comapred the Saints and Celtics (who weren't trying to win) with the Cajuns. So impso facto, you created this.

Anyway, yea, we lost.. move on.. but its the way we lost. And all of you know it. You super optimistic ppl need a reality check from time to time. I'm just stating the facts: there is reason to be concerned. Simply stated.

The only game that saints players rested was week 17 against the panthers. Starters were still out there in week 15 against dallas and week 16 against tampa. Fact is, they lost 3 in a row to finish the regular season and carried that momentum into the postseason and won the whole damn thing.

The way I see it, we didn't use a lot of pitching this weekend, so we'll have a fully rested and loaded pitching staff starting with Osbourne next Friday!

_ Please do quit listening! Its obviously not good for you.

Ask the guys on the team if they didn't want to win!

The Cajuns have a long history of underperforming in the conference tournament. I expected them to have some fight in them but I guess I expected too much.

Lost 3-0. CG by their pitcher

What the hell are you talking about?! My overall objective is to simply point out that it isn't a minor hickup when you get shut out by a team that slept for 3 hours last night, and by a pitcher whom you lit up back at home. Also, we pitched our ace and "intended" to win.. Call Middle a good team all you want, but they are NOT going to a regional unless they win the whole thing.. They're not THAT good is my point.

WHEN YOU DON'T WIN WITH THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, ITS CAUSE FOR CONCERN.

This wasn't good for the Cajuns in more ways than one. Ya know what, take away the momentum factor, which does play a role in baseball (you ever heard the term, "Hitting is contagious"), We failed to even give Geith a chance to pitch in the tourney, which can be bad for him if he feels a little rusty with the long layover going into the next game.

I think we're all just wondering, how does a team not lose more than 2 games in a weekend series since April began, go on to lose 2 straight games in the conference tournament. Frustrating is the only word.

[SlappyCajun]

Thank god us super optimist have a realist to make sure we overreact to a baseball game...

Phew.

Could it be maybe that u r a pessimist and not so much a realist

MTSU is playing for their regional lives, teams can do some impressive things with their backs up against the walls like pitch a complete game shutout.
