Louisiana vs Tech

[ManAboutTown]

Judging from only what I have seen so far of Well's system (I have no inside info). He seems to prefer a quieter load. He has a two strike approach we used in high school that I hated and that Tony Gwynn specifically roasted in his book. That is with two strikes, you spread out, crouch down, and don't move your foot at all. Just let your hands do all the work.

Mr. Gwynn's rebuttal was always, why have two different swings. You have worked on swinging a certain way your whole life to then try to change that with 2 strikes and expect to be successful? I have seen some people have success with that approach, but personally, I was with Mr. Gwynn on that one. It's one thing to shorten up a little with two strikes and another to radically change everything you do and are comfortable with.

Edit: for those that don't know, Tony Gwynn is still statistically the best two strike hitter who ever played.

I will admit, I do not like that part of his style. Having said that, all I heard in the off-season was how the players had really taken to it. My biggest concern is our hitters falling back into bad habits when Wells’ technique doesn’t always produce. And I agree with your assessment of the modest load. I’d love to ask him personally.

Looks like planned rest. Would have been nice to go into this weekend .500 or better.

Unless we play a DH Sunday, it looks like we will play only one game with 90% chance of rain Friday and Saturday. I think they know they won't play Friday night and named Perrin that starter. I'm willing to bet if both days are rained out Leger will pitch some on Sunday.

BTW, I sent an email to sidearm about all the crap for last night's game, and they refunded me in just a few minutes.

No joke...he can't be serious by saying that. Here are the stats from the Baseball website that I posted the other day:

"Louisiana leads the all-time series, 80-66, and has won six of the last 10 meetings between the two programs. Under head coach Tony Robichaux, the Ragin' Cajuns are 29-12 against the Bulldogs.

TECH HAS WON 5 OF THE LAST 7!!!

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.

Hence, what is meant by "way out front" of the ball. Caleb was the biggest leg kicker I recall here. He was really good at it.
