Cajuns vs USA - Pool B G1

[Ned Clampett]

_ That's the same mentality people had when we beat Kansas State in football. It doesn't matter that we stepped up and beat better teams. We need to beat the teams we are supposed to. When you beat the better teams you have a chance for something special. If we don't choke in mid week games against nicholls, slu, northwestern, we are in a regional today. _

This aint football. Sometimes in baseball the best team dont always win.

[Rebel02]

_ That's my point. If we keep ending up with the same damn results then something needs to change. I can't sit here and say that I go to practice and know what the hell Tony does with the team at all times, but whenever you the same things happen several times a year (tanking games you really need to win) you can't keep making the same excuses. It just seems that its time to try something different. If Robe wants to try approaching things just a little different, then I'm all for it, but it doesn't look like thats gonna happen. _

So you would want a coach from a program that is producing the same results, maybe less, to replace a coach that can get to regionals?

And for the record, I'm asking you if you want to replace Tony with a coach who's teams cannot win the SLC tournament and make a regional.

_ i agree with what you are saying, but in this case those 2 games might have made our season _

Of course, looking back now they would be nice to have, but they wouldnt have made our season.

Theres a few games we can look at as games that got away. Baseball isnt football with 12 games and each one meaning the world. Doesnt mean I want fire Robe to hire a coach just because his team has beaten us a few times.

Bottom line, we were in the hunt for an at large bid until the last couple weekends. That is not grounds to fire a coach and hire another who has much less of a resume

[CajunRed]

That answer would be...NO.

_ Well he makes us look like we are Alcorn State everytime he plays us. _

@CajunRage, this is the type of comment I am talking about. He couldn't address the fact that the SLU coach went 2 and BBQ. He had to point out that SLU beats the Cajuns "like we are Alcorn State" everytime they play us.

Looks like the Robe-haters dodge the original comments also.

[Dad04]

_ Robe didn't commit the errors!

I do think he needs to recruit better hitters, but he opts for better defenders, which makes today even more painful.

First baseman Tyler Benzel and pitcher Gus Schlosser were named to the 2011 Rawlings Gold Glove South Region Team announced May 25.

Benzel, a senior, led the Moccasins with a .387 average and has seven home runs to go with 43 RBI. In the field Benzel had a .990 fielding percentage, committing only 4 errors. In 24 conference games Benzel had a .995 fielding percentage, while hitting .398 and driving in 19.

Before anyone discounts this as D2, know they are at the top of the pile in D2 in a tough conference. They would porbably consistently be a top 100 rpi team in D1. Cudda used hm this year and last.

_ You're like a Monroe fan.

That's fighting words.

I could give _____ if we beat SLU or LSU for that matter. The problem is when you still have a chance at an at large bid and you are playing a team who is out of the conference tournament and starting a guy with an ERA in the 30's, you should NEVER lose that game. Yes I realize its baseball but that's is inexcusable. Things like this happen more often than not.

i dont want the coach from slu, just saying those 2 games might have made our season, i agree its not grounds for firing a coach.

If he is someone who can light a fire under his kids asses instead of going through the motions, then yes.

I was furious when we lost that game. But I'm not ready to fire the coach because of it or this season as a whole. We've lost games that we should have won, but have won ones that we should've lost. Baseball's not black and white like someone pointed out earlier. Its what you do over the long term that matters.

If 31-24 is a termination-worthy record, no matter how long a coach has been here, then something is wrong. Yes we can have high expectations, but people acting like we've had 3 losing seasons in a row

Looking at the future, this incoming class has huge promise, and I view them similar to Hud's first class. I really think we have a great crop that can come in and win a lot of games.

[Rebel02]

Is it safe to say that the 2 games SLU just loss in conference tournament were bigger than any games they've played all season? Doesn't look like they were motivated to play in those games? Perhaps their coach didn't light a fire under their asses
