BB: Louisiana at SHSU

[Rougarou]

Before everyone on this board searches for the nearest cliff, remember that this series was, among other things, being used to see which young pitchers could handle certain situations and which maybe couldn't. We're learning that several can't....yet.

Well at least we all come away learning something.

This defense was hyped up all offseason and so far has been the worst I've seen since Jordan Poirrier tried to play second base.

This really sucks, but some of ya’ll need to relax. We have a young inexperienced pitching staff and many undefined roles. These games are essentially our spring training in that we are trying to figure out what we have and put guys in different situations.

I have full confidence in this coaching staff. Doesn’t change the way we are playing as these are tough losses without a doubt, but it is still February.

So are they Texas, Tech and Sam Houston's spring training too? They really don't matter? I bet you'd hear that out of their coaching staffs

If it makes anyone feel better, Gunner would not have not won us a game today unless he went 9.

Quit pumping sunshine fellas. This is the epitome of same _____ different year.

“Oh it’s early. It’ll take them a little bit to start clicking.”

I call BS on that. How come every other team seems to have their _____ together?

I think any objective, relaxed observer can see this team is not competent at any of the three parts of the game of baseball.

I am worried about your confidence in Talbot.

That baw had some power in that bat though. LOL

Right? This isn't us getting slaughtered by clear superior teams. It a complete lack of fundamentals and executing basic aspects of the game. No panicking here. Just stating the obvious.

Definitely way too much flinching in big moments and not taking care of the little things (such as balls going under outfielder gloves, baserunning mistakes, putting the ball in play with RISP and two strikes, etc.). And the coaches are as much involved as the players.

The low fielding %. That's new. The coaching brain f arts. Same old JT. Mix in the same mediocre offense and weak arms. Well, the ingredients for a historically bad season are in place.

Our next big thing SS is batting .105.
