Louisiana vs Tech

Pitching through 4 games has been much better. That’s encouraging.

Batting average is also higher than last year at this stage. Failure to get bunt down in late innings is responsible for 2 of 3 losses. I realize there is more to it than that but that is what sticks in my mind.

I would argue all 3 loses are because of defensive blunders, but I understand what you’re saying. Even with the errors, if we get the bunt down in those games, all three really, we probably win.

Bad baserunning, defensive errors, lack of timely hitting, and not being able to bunt sums up 4 games thus far.

Forget what game it was. Maybe game 1. We didn't get a bunt down, but didn't we still have bases loaded with 1 out?

Game 1 against UT. Back to back lead off singles. Gavin was up to bunt them both over, but in true Cajun offense style, struck out looking after not being able to get a bunt down. Hayden was HBP next to load them up with 1 out.

So can't blame it on the bunt then.

Defense and small ball failed us - both aspects of the game that we have traditionally used to overcome other inefficiencies. Kinda strange.

Tired of reading about bunting costing us games. They are using metal bats. Need to be able to drive the ball in the gap and over the wall. Stop hoping to score runs by manufacturing and start producing.

Leg kicker guy. Not saying the leg lift is for everybody, but it does help power and insures weight shift. Timing can be tough. To be fair, Adams cut his big leg kick way down in proball, but he is not in baseball anymore, either.

Another side to it is that leg kick helps with timing if you have natural quickness and fast twitch. Even when those 2014 guys faced 96, they had their leg up when the pitcher was releasing the ball. I have always believed getting the front foot down to early can actually slow your swing down because it is out of rhythm with no momentum.

Thank God Deggs didn't change those guys. btw, Jose Bautista was the world's biggest leg kicker.

Josh Donaldson still is and that guy is elite with the stick when healthy.
